   The current interview with the CEO of Yahoo is so awkward and offensive. Arrington starts it out with "How the fuck are you", which Carol Bartz tries to respond to while seeming cool. But its just awkward. Then later Carol Bartz says "I wan

   I really don't like the word n00b in this article. I feel like this article would be much better if they replaced the word n00b with beginner. When I read the title I thought the article was going to be about Clojure attracting to many chil

   Correct, I think for the most part it would be a bad way to test code. The only reason I included *.erb is for when I am editing the content/design of a page. Like changing a h2 to a h3 or something like that.

    Wow, you guys have a great looking idea! I feel like the usability mantra circa 2000-2010 was "Don't make me think" and I hope the usability mantra for the decade of 2010-2020 will be "Don't make me unsure". Using inspiration from games, I

    Sorry, kind of off topic but IF I am to trust wikipedia, wouldn't this not be called a zero day. It would be called a 9 month? "The term derives from the age of the exploit. When a developer becomes aware of a security hole, there is a race

    I like how Gruber can take an idea that seems completely obvious to me, but when ever I try to explain the idea and the reasons behind it I come up short. I don't have good examples or details. I end up looking dumb. So I keep my ideas to m

    I wish the article talked about the business model. Does the app have a cost? Is there a recurring cost? Is it Ad based? If its not free I could see it being hard to get friends to join and thus not be useful.
