I'm really impressed with Cuban's genuine interest in technology. It seems like he buys lots of new products simply to try them out (Logitech Revue and Samsung Tab). He's always trying to make himself more productive and find an advantage.

After a quick glance, they load the page in an iFrame and inject their CSS + JS into it. Any of changes you make will be "compiled" into a JS file which you then include on your page. Whatever edits you made will only be reflected client si

I've found Windows 7 great in terms of installing drivers and updates. It's much smarter and most don't require restarts. Obviously the first time you update the OS they'll be a lot of them. How is that any different than an OS X update? Mo

I've used LABjs and it worked great. It's also the most "focused" loader in the sense that it only does javascript loading. RequireJS also includes a module system and some optimization tools. headjs unnecessarily includes CSS feature detec

It's amazing how fast web development can change. jQuery Mobile and Backbone didn't even exist a 2 months ago and CoffeeScript is also just getting popular lately. Who knows if these new libraries/technologies will catch on but it's an exci

HTML5 Boilerplate is a really impressive attempt to consolidate all best practices into one template. The comments alone are one of the best sources of documentation for front-end development. Now the choice is selectively building up your
