I think the more interesting part of this is why Google has allowed this woman to manipulate the SERP's in order to bash this guy for so long. They usually have an itchy trigger finger when it comes to burying sites like hers for using keyw

I knew this was a ruse when I read the bio's at the bottom of the page. I had a good laugh at this one: "Suren Ter (me) I’m a producer of the site. Like a movie producer, I made the site." Then several sentences later: "Me? I don’t do code,

As a current 4G customer, I can say this has been the most frustrating 6 months. It's been well documented their LTE network has been sketchy from the start: 4G launched in Dec 7th 2010 and this article ran a week later about issues already

Although I've built WP themes and have "dabbled" in Rails (building a blog like everyone else) and consider myself more of a front-end guy, this seems like overkill to me. Not to mention most designers I know would look at this and roll the

Alex brought up a great point, which he may have thought was a throw away line: "Let’s leave the pithy comments for disposable social networking services like Google+, Facebook and Twitter." This is exactly how I see and use G+. I use it to

I remember when a friend of mine got his first i-pad. We're both developers and he said he could do some basic editing with one of the included apps. First thing I thought was, "Oh yeah, I'm going to write code on a 7" screen as opposed to

I think it's interesting Groupon is giving all these large tech companies a ton of leverage with their future deals. I can just hear the Google people in their next pitch meeting to some great start-up, "You don't want to end up like Groupo

Great points. Also, schools and colleges can't keep up with the changing technologies. One of my friends just graduated from a 4-year accredited design school and they just started teaching CSS 3 years ago. He said he wasted a lot of money

Another great reason to protect your online identity. I don't use any of my real information on any of the social media sites I use simply for this reason. Had these people taken better steps to conceal their identities, they wouldn't be in

I find it curious the article never mentions the real culprit in hogging resources - China. When I was working in the bike industry, over the course of a few years, ALL of our bikes jumped in price considerably. After talking with one the r

Its always been scary to do business in that part of the world. I had a few buddies who were in telecom and were working there shortly after the fall of Communism. They used to tell stories of caring large sums of cash to pay bribes and kee

The fallacy of the article is if we paid off the debt that we would never incur any debt in the future. Just not realistic to consider in any case.

The major difference for me is Apple builds applications which work with its own products and not other platforms. Can I use icloud on my Linux box? Nope, but I can use Dropbox. Granted, Dropbox comes with its own limitations, but when I'm

You, I really had high hopes for this product. I signed up for the updates, waited patiently for my invite, and held out this could be a really good product. After several months of little or no updates or an invite, I lost track. The one t

Another great example of Google randomly removing sites based on flimsy or nor evidence. The fact they don't give you a chance to plead their case is pretty scary. My hunch is one of your competitors got the site taken down. I've had a few

Absolutely. This is one of those cases where you grab a young aspiring designer, and show them what an exceptional example of design and typeography looks like. This is for sure a collectors item.

I've signed them when asked and have only been brought into court once. The judge threw the case out in under 10 minutes. On short, you can't keep someone being gainfully employed simply because you signed a non-compete clause.

Wow - what a day. A tweet by CBSNEws says it was wrong when someone tweeted he had died, then I scramble for hours trying to figure out if it was real, and now it has been confirmed by Apple. When I read the news, it really felt like he was

Google+ was supposed to compete with Facebook and having people's salaries tied to something this big, you would expect EVERYBODY to be on board. I'd be pretty pissed if my salary was tied up in this and articles like this come out basicall

Building the site is just the start of the process in my eyes. I always give one estimate for the design/development/seo of a site. The importance of keeping the content, SEO and design fresh cannot be undersold to the client. Letting your

Despite the other comments, I completely agree with you. It's just foolish to give up control of one of the most important communication resources your business has to a company with a notoriously poor customer service record. http://www.f

I agree front-end guys don't get a lot of respect compared to the back-end guys. However, most of the back-end guys I know still think coding in tables is the way to go. The thing you have to remember is supply and demand. Companies will pa

I agree and I believe if they simply picked a direction, be it a CMS or Framework, it would indeed trim out a lot of the fat from the core like you mentioned. The fact they're trying to be all things to all people is what will likely cause

Typo3 is actually called Contao now and unless you can read German, the documentation is really really weak in English. Lots of documentation, but it's mostly in German. I've been looking at it and one of the main advantages is the ability
