"The proof of the pudding is in the tasting" is certainly a statement I would agree with. Controversy around the rating system on boardgamegeek.com doesn't really invalidate that games that rank higher tend to be better. Th

I think the proof is in the pudding. I've played hundreds of hours of chess in my life, and I set chess aside as a special case, but as for the rest of the traditional board games, they become boring once you've played highly rat

I was actually discussing this the other day with friends. I use duckduckgo.com for searching, Firefox for a browser 95% of the time, I don't use my Gmail or G+ hardly at all anymore, and the one thing I really like from Google, the P

That's a good point I hadn't thought of - and you're right. I probably do unintentionally, inadvertently, or, I'm not sure how to say it, but I don't mind, I'm just not conscious of it. So still, it just doesn

I find it curious, because only of of them produces something I use everyday - Microsoft. It's more like the "Ubiquitous One and the Take Or Leave 'Em Four." And even Microsoft doesn't "dominate" my digit

That article, and really, almost every post here, don't make a damned bit of difference once the tipping point is reached and the 99% get fed up enough to do something about their situation. They're not going to try and create st

"In many ways this echoes '90s conversations grousing about why the Web didn't have the same powers as desktop applications." Um, the web still doesn't.

I have found another one as well. When someone is spouting off some anti-American B.S. I just ask, "You seem radicalized. Should I be afraid of you?" "Radicalized" is such an awesome put down for extremists now that t

Awesome. Hey, start-up type peoples. Good luck getting me to use any of your nifty new software. Cause every time I do, and invest my time, data, and learning in you, you sell out then disappear. There's fool me twice thing in here,

People who want software built are usually (in my experience, almost always) incapable of describing what they want. But they know what they like or don't like when they see it, and then they get ideas for changes. Unless Gigster (re

What I like is he came to America to go to MIT. That great mind is now an American mind, and with his family origin, I would hope a world thinking and sympathetic mind. Perhaps he can do good in this world.

This totally piques my "don't tread on me." Facebook is a service you don't have to use. They're an American company. No one should be telling them to now run service, U.S. or otherwise. I hope Zuck flips them the

If it turns out that there is a definite trend of increasing force used by law enforcement, I certainly don't expect them to release that data voluntarily. If it's not in their favor, they'll attempt to bury it.

I keep hearing "fail fast" as part of the start-up rah-rah. They just took it to heart.

Sorry, I have to say it. If someone isn't willing to pay money for your content or service then you probably aren't offering anything of value. Instead you're surviving off of ad based revenue that you're generating wh

I think that this is an excellent example of the pathetic state of HTML 5 and web UI in general. All they want to do is play video with some UI around it. It's 2015, that should be almost trivial. But it's not. It's beta

Wow, that was really well done. I could follow along with the concepts and code and near normal reading speed. I look forward to playing with those ideas.

Lost in this debate, for me, is whether online ads actually work and are worth the money. My technical experience with online ads is that it's very difficult to equate the ads with increased sales unless you have a very small sample s
