This isn't a good argument, just because there's a lack of role models (assuming this is even the case) doesn't mean you should push an unwilling part to become one. It looks to me as if this man is being blamed for not &quot

I find it appalling that these "journalists" take the liberty of discussing private matters in a very public setting. Sexuality, like health and other personal subjects, shouldn't neither be discussed nor be part of the judge

If you look from the right angle everything it's win-win, the point is how much one win is worth compared to the other. Your boss tells you he would totally give you money if you do some boring chores he doesn't want to do, it&#x2

This might be big, I was just done complaining about the user interface of the GMail web app. If this means that developers can now effectively create another interface on top of a real GMail API this has the potential to really change thin

GMail is often trumpeted as great example of a clean, well-designed web app, but I find it downright messy, complicated and unnecessarily simplistic. Everytime I need to do something simple like forwarding or adding a rule for deleting emai

I'm Italian, we're one of the countries in Europe that have been hit the hardest by the economic downturn. Staying at home with your parents in your early 20s has always been the norm here (mostly because you don't have to mo

Actually I'm on Chrome/Mavericks and I get the same thing.

The fact that there isn't any app that does the same thing doesn't necessarily means that there's an opportunity, on the opposite, it likely means that there is no market for it. Yours it's a niche interest and the app w

The key part is third party products, most of the ads you see on your iPad is served from Google's infrastructure. Google makes money on all platforms.

I don't, and it would be too expensive even at $15 imo. But even if something like this had a market there's the problem of the editor, as it uses contenteditable which is at best inconsistent across browser and at worst completel

I'm happy to see someone who shares my exact same sentiment. I mean, when I read "but there's a catch, they have to send something first" I thought it was a joke. First of all, the fact that they made another snapchat wi

It's not just a malicious server, an attacker can put himself between you and the perfectly secure server and then send you whatever javascript code he likes, that's the whole point. And yes, since it cannot be made secure, it sho

Great news someone is investing in this recession-stricken country of ours. It would be worth noting that "capiche", "capisce" and variations of it are not an Italian expression. Also, I'm guessing "ora che cos

I didn't say it was easy and I'm not underestimating anything, that doesn't change the fact that autocorrect on Mac sucks.

Really nifty and very well done. If you have time down the road you could think of implementing one feature that every modern text editor for some reason lacks: autocorrect. TextEdit on Mac has some form of autocorrect but mostly sucks, I d

You're wrong, I know for a fact that you can (and should) register your product (including the name) in Europe. I guess what you're saying only applies to US but the author is European, hence my advice. When you register you speci

This implementation is too naive. You can't just autocomplete queries, you have to accept typos and errors and suggest the correct query. That's the hard part.

It's an inescapable reality: companies grow and grow bloated and complacent. It happened to IBM and Microsoft, it happened to Google and it's happening now for Facebook. Once corporate mentality sets in the company's soul is
