I think that is already happening to a large extent. More and more people are founding their own little companies to fund side-projects and do consulting work. The workplace of the future may simply be a collection of loosely coupled people

I posted this because I was wondering if it was a new not-so-clever strategy to stir up a little controversy & pageviews.

It's not just you. Political correctness, 'showing both sides of the debate' and editorializing have made the news far worse than it ever was in recent years. We urgently need news that delivers the facts, and only the facts. Maybe some d

Most of what you are writing was true, like a year ago. Never forget that China develops at internet speeds. Here's an update as far as I can tell. Credit-cards are very much existent right now , to the extent that I know people who got in

What's more : with online check-in I am not even asked for Id prior to boarding on my recent flights from Zurich. Just download your boarding pass to your mobile, go through security in ten minutes and board the plane. I used to arrive 2 ho

How would you design security procedures? ... What about seriously toned down security like we have been doing for decades prior to 911 and just accepting that once in a while a plane gets blown up?

Quote: 'Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook noted that the iPad is not taking a typical early adopter curve, and already has a "very big" market.' Of course they want to pump out as many as they can while the competition is still trying to com

This is one reason why Wired's "The Web is Dead" was not completely off the mark. I'm seeing more and more devs starting to think like this, giving birth to tools optimized for delivering mobile-first experiences. Sencha and Less framework

Interesting bit: "Americans forget that Apollo succeeded in large part because the country knew that sending humans to the Moon within the short time frame of ten years would be exciting, difficult, dangerous, and perhaps even impossible."

"There is nothing on Mars worth dying for." And this is exactly what is wrong with society right now. We have become so accustomed to our little comforts that we have become completely risk-averse. I'll take an opposing viewpoint and say th

I remember only 5 years a gruffy old sysadmin preaching "Can't you guys code without googling all the time? Programming is not what it used to be." I listened to his advice for a while & I'm thankful for it. I now try to do big conceptu

I tried to do some flex development on linux two years ago from the command-line & I finally gave up & switched to the IDE. I hate languages where serious development is only possible from within a specific IDE. The kind of stuff I
