Pedantic, I know, but: Source code. Not source codes. Seeing this made the author lose credibility on the subject.

I put "no" in parenthesis specifically for this reason. Someone gave my wife and I advice early on to avoid explicitly saying no to our children when they were very little. It was very, very good advice.

I was fortunate enough to work at one company for 21 years (MS) that supported this model. I suspect, given my personality, passions, and style, if MS had not supported me in this way I would have just done it across many companies. So, at

I wrote a post the other day about how to think about career trajectory/growth. In my experience people generally think about it wrong. TL;DR: Don't think about your career as a ballistic trajectory, but more as a series of interplanetary m

Can you provide a specific example in the article (or the technology referenced) where the "REST API" discussed is not actually REST? I didn't see any, but I'm no expert and I'm trying to learn.

OP here. Totally appreciate feedback on writing style. It's valuable to me. FWIW, though, the very first sentence of the post links to this WSJ article about Google launching a tablet: http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB1000142405270230

OP here. Is it? Yes, the thrust of the article is about GOOG abandoning the Android brand. However, it follows that if GOOG is to focus on Play as the brand for tablets (and phones) they will also further invest in Play exclusive technologi

Except that mere-mortals, like myself, had no idea that "Sony" was not "Sony". If Sony reaps brand benefits from naming a "partially owned company" "Sony xxx", then Sony should also suffer when one part of the whole does something damaging

Google Play is a smart attempt by GOOG to gain more control of MO/OEMs. Platform fragmentation exists across 5 axes (UI, Device, OS, Marketplace, and Service). By bundling these services together they may make it harder for MO/OEMs to imple
