Every person has a different reason to like them or not. I can speak of my case: I work making software in one of the supposed "right ways" on a daily basis. I also like getting together with buddies or new people, and code something exciti

Combine this with the fact that some times syncing your iPhone in a corporate server brings the whole company address book to the phone. They must have a lot of contacts stored.

Ironic that Kodak started the technological change that made it obsolete. They invented the digital camera sensor. Seems like Kodak tried investing the right area but executed very poorly. Cameras are a great business, just look at how well

You are right. Apps are the new golden handcuffs for users of a current platform and are a new challenge to overcome for both android and windows phone. Still there's millions of new users who are just about to get a new smartphone coming f

The lateness is not that important since phone contracts are up in about 2 years and at the time, people shop for new phones and usually aim for the coolest one as their new phone. Phone markets renew every couple of years but clearly the i

Some windows live properties backends use SqlServer as well and have thousands of SQL instances running, so it does scale. http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_live/b/windowslive/archiv...

From Mexico myself as well. The whole ordeal is by far more complicated than in the US, except for visas. Starting is already hard enough by itself, so adding on top a thick layer of hoops to jump and bypass in Mexico isn't the best of thin

Most are overlooking the change in thinking with these servers. Think of servers with ARM processors in the pipeline which will come with 64+ cores, available for cellphones. The biggest problem in a datacenter is not space or processing po

This is awesome. I remember playing metroid at a friend's house who had a NES, wondering "Why do all rooms look similar?!". We spent hours drawing maps by hand so we wouldn't get lost through levels. The map is super clever. The whole game

I don't know the details, but whatever sequencing queries Monsanto is running against cloudant, would be nice to replicate and open source to universities and researchers.

+1 on that. Yes, you can be a PM without knowing code, but it's hard to be an excellent one. A technical PM maybe doesn't code on a daily basis anymore, but one who understands technical challenges is highly valuable. A good PM who knows th

This is huge. Recollected pluripotent cells can only be reproduced and divided a very limited number of times with the techniques we know so far (it used to be ~2x). A big problem was that only a very small amount of stem cells usable for t

Agreed. "The-Dip" is a great read on this topic. His basic premise is great in the sense that it's not about quitting or sticking into something for sake of stubbornness. It's all about knowing what It'll take to quit before hand, see if

I love seeing this. C++ is one of those things taken for granted because it's been there for so long, in a sort of love it or hate it way. Good to see all those C++0x changes are coming into shape and being implemented. As much as I love n

I don't think HP is throwing the towel, just not putting all eggs in a single basket. They know now how big a challenge is to turn it around on the tablet market. Cloud's the thing now so they're also getting into it.

I asked myself the same question once. Having worked a bit on this before on msft I learned that builds, just like other dev tools, need constant improvement as complexity increases. Faster builds, customization and allowing scripting, para

I agree you could argue that. But rather than crunching numbers, I think his point was to illustrate the state of some cancer treatments today. How despite of everything and all advances in medicine,we still need to make HUGE improvements i

Similar story here. Mom died of the same disease. I did join a stem cell related company from their beginnings. It was cool to see it grow thinking I was doing good, until I realized at least in my case it was more about making the owners m
