As pointed out by other readers Symbian ISN'T the brand that Nokia holds up to their end users. I think it's a mistake to advertise Android to the masses as a brand. Sun tried that with Java and it didn't work because they spent so much o

That's a horrible story I'm so sorry to hear that about your friend. I think you're right on track that prevention and screening is our weapon against these things. Screening and prevention costs way less than "the cure". If you read Chri

I remember reading a story a while back about progress made on deaths from heart attacks versus progress made on deaths from cancer. The key thing they zeroed in on was the fact that heart research focused on prevention first. They determ

So I hope someone is explaining this to the you-know-what-hat Senator Dodd. Remember to speak slowly.

Agreed. Aaron's claim is making money in a very indirect way. Making money in the market is hard enough through direct means (purchase a security watch it go up). I would say it would be even harder to purchase something then move the in

If that's so how did NPR go talk to this guy in Kansas and get one? They don't have a lot of money, and they aren't a bank. I bet this guy in Kansas is getting a lot of phone calls like this one.

Where's the controversy? The article does a great job of pointing out that Mark's rant missed the point entirely. Was there actually anything said that turned this mantra upside down?

I like the concepts of the bubbles and the fact that it show call execution so well instead of one file at a time. That's really cool, but what I find so amazing is that since they built on top of Eclipse they got much further towards a us

At most I thought it was just a distraction technique or see if you can scare them. While you threaten the company with your lawyers and patents the top brass will have to dedicated some amount of time to fight it with their lawyers, figur

How about trading off code readability for code complexity that has some potential future payoff? Library developers might want to trade more of their readability than app developers because of the nature of 3rd party code. It's ultimatel

I guess this is only tangentially related to each other Mock objects and interfaces. I stopped using interfaces in this manner. My rule if you only have one implementation of an interface you don't need an interface. Wait to create the i

When the head of the company basically says people don't care as much about privacy as they once did. I call that scary. If he'd say we want you to participate fully in our service and we think that means your information is public it wou

The choice between privacy goes something like this on the internet these days. Be apart of the internet and give up all hope of privacy, or don't participate and be a Luddite. This choice is not acceptable or practical for any future. Go

Restaurants are a competitive market, and with big fish like OpenTable killing it I think it would be pretty difficult to come into there. Stick with what you're doing.

If it's a completely original design/layout that the designer comes up with $2K is fairly reasonable. I found fresh designs start around $800 for one page and go up depending on what else you need. If you have a PSD of your design file th
