Yahoo! Pipes for web scraping. Don't have to write a line of code, just a GUI that can even do complex things. There's a lot of information out there that should be freed.

Tablets to me are just an easier way to check status updates and feeds, ie things I'm trying to get away from. They even favor laying down while doing it! I'm constantly confronted with similar questions: should I watch this game on TV or

How things have changed in the last five years. Overall I'd say that programming isn't low prestige w/ bad working conditions anymore. And good luck to all of those law school graduates!

Wow, I hadn't realized how bad the 2011 lineup was! Seriously, McChrystal, the general that "retired" because he bad-mouthed the VP in front of a reporter? Amazing. David Brooks, Jason Mraz, someone from Pepsi, puppeteers??? Mindblowing.

Textbooks should be a lot cheaper considering that most of the information in them is freely available. Authors should be paid fairly for collecting and making sense of the information, but it's ridiculous how much they cost. And this shou
