I use tmobile's monthly4g plans right now -- 5gb data, no contract plan for $30. I bring my own phone. I'm just using the phone as a SIP client, and it's working out fairly well so far.

I'm guessing you haven't tested it much yet? My senator's office doesn't even allow the call to go through unless the caller presses '1' to speak with someone, but your interface lacks a keypad! Hopefully you guys get it out before the 18

Aside from kahawe's excellent comment, one doesn't necessarily need figures here. Can't I be a primary source for this? I think anyone who has visited india/china can probably tell you that car owners are definitely upper class.

Simplicity is not so useful in operating systems or filesystems though. There are enough "simple" filesystems out there -- the useful filesystems are the ones that aren't so simple. There's lots of great educational "simple" OSes, but nob

It would be massively bad if google were to shutdown -- most people like my mom simply types "yahoo" in her chrome browser, which does a google search for yahoo, then she clicks the first result to go there -- same goes for most people usin

Seems like the opposite of love -- they're removing a large swath of features in order to bring some new ones in.

Not as funny as you might think -- if you own a car in India, you're probably upper class. In India, lots of paid inane chores are common, like carrying one's luggage from the taxi to the airport, even if it's a small backpack.

If you used the ruby 1.9 syntax then it wouldn't be. However, ruby 1.9 still supported the old syntax, so libraries in 1.9 could still be used with 1.8. There wasn't "one right way" to do things in ruby.

isn't ebay technically a very large pawn shop? wasn't it bessemer that passed on ebay because a company with a marketplace for used goods wouldn't amount to anything?

Not necessarily great from my perspective -- seems like phone junction boxes are typically exposed to outside elements more often than cable boxes. When I was with sonic, data connection became crap when it rained.

I disagree here based on interacting with someone who owns an ipad v1. When this person tried out my samsung honeycomb tablet, she thought it was slower "computer" that hers, even though she's doesn't know the specs of my "dual-core" honey

Sounds like another case of causation != correlation. Someone took a bunch of data and made pretty graphs from it.

Honestly, I don't think there's that much value in the data. Most of the big social gaming companies probably have most of that data anyway from scraping the social graph -- if money is in the data, they haven't been mining their data prop

if all 7B people in the world used google, each one would be worth $27. If google only had 800M users like facebook, each one would be worth $237. So maybe FB stock is actually undervalued if one thinks that Facebook provides an equal amou

maybe it's not REST's ivory tower definition, but it is most definitely REST style urls the way that everyone else interprets REST. Also, you construct your own urls in backbone, so it's technically adaptable to whatever, but in Backbone.s

I think you should visit china sometime. You'll probably realize that the working conditions at Foxconn are like working conditions at Google after visting a few of the smaller crappier factories. My grandfather owned a toy company (they

Unfortunately Asus has the worst support ever. If anything breaks on that laptop, you're SOL. I would also question Asus's build quality as well. I don't know about that netbook in particular, but their EeePCs aren't very well built.

I wish the same were available for python. I know there's pip/virtualenv, but they just don't come close to node's npm or ruby's bundler.

hopefully they make the DSL similar to matlab. Having worked in matlab & numpy, I can definitely say that having numpy's syntax semi-close to matlab helped a lot when we do ports. It (porting) happens more often than you'd think.

I would recommend using newgem from DrNic. It's gem template generator that comes with nice defaults. http://newgem.rubyforge.org/

Just use pry, it's not really a debugger replacement, but it's useful in most cases that ruby-debug19 would be used. http://rubygems.org/gems/pry

I think you mean Corona, not Cocos2D. The last time I used cocos, it was strictly an objc library to make opengl dev easy.

Probably not at a startup though. People with an expansive skill set like Yegge would be an ideal startup hire. I'm guessing he just likes politics at big companies.

I always hated how weather sites could not just detect my approximate location based off of ip (eg weather.com) and required me to enter in my zip code, google fixed that.
