I visited some of the article from his homepage. This guy is an all-around genius! He writes every page on his website in this manner, on so many different fields. Bookmarked. I hope no one will only look at his SAT.

For a man who thinks $40 is too expensive for a good OS, you'll love Linux.

Not with the ban system. Here in France, you can report companies that make automated phone calls and they get strongly punished. I haven't received one in years. Of course, sometimes I get calls from actual humans for polls or advertising

I think we are all just surprised there are so many design decisions we can't agree with, precisely with the first major update for iOS comes since Jobs died. Up until the iPhone 4, I don't think I've had any criticism towards the design of

That sounds quite arbitrary, and if anything, it's the first time I've heard about this "principle".

Tablets are another thing. Google hasn't been thinking about it too much (N7 is their first attempt) and the iPad is still king. There's a lot of work to do in that field, and that's catching-up work more than improvements. It's much like d

You know, I'm starting to miss Steve Jobs. He was a businessman as well, but he also knew how to treat his customers right, because keeping the customers in the hype is extremely important in his high-benefits scheme. I don't think he would

Best one yet in my opinion. Thanks.

You must have confused innovation with improvement. This time on, they picked safe improvements from the competitors and integrated them. Very nice improvements which make a very nice phone, but nothing I would call innovation. I hope at le

My entire beginning programming class had to install Ubuntu and no one even complained about it, with all the various computers in the homes of 60 novice students. Some installed it on their laptops, no connectivity problem. We did a lot of

I looked for "81" in the page and found nothing. Apparently, he never said that 81.5% of the area is made up of ads. He may have edited it but I think his criticism was towards the unused space for results, not especially towards the ads. A

The player is playing the kind of game where everybody loses. But there is a way to make everyone win: act like Google has been acting up to now. Every big actor should build up a protective pile of abusive patents (it's so easy nowadays) a

Send a usual absolute time stamp and let the client compute the relative time, hoping it is accurate.

Oh they are. They really are. If you haven't already, you should listen to "When patents attack" from This American Life ( http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/441/w... ). The guys over at IV are really doing their best

What were you expecting? This document shows room for improvement. It's not a full-on comparison of every aspect. Engineers don't care about congratulating themselves on the areas where their product is better than the competition. They wan

Did anyone ever show you his credit card "okay but just once"? I doubt so. The big number is indeed supposed to remain as secret as possible to avoid trouble.

4Chan is known for this: it has the best and the worst of the Internet. After some time lurking, your brain acquires the skill of filtering threads that it thinks are worthless, without even polling your consciousness. As you develop this a
