It is hard to believe that someone that managed so many is focusing in his parting words on (1) telling people that got bad reviews that they aren't as good as they think they are, and (2) telling them to aim their sites lower (since not ev

Impressive! At first that seems expensive. But, $10,000,000,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to the U.S. national debt, which is over 1300x the cost of that tunnel at $13,611,792,550,145.

Nice footnotes... Seriously though, I think companies are wasting their time getting into tablets. I see it as small niche market longer-term. Something that big without a keyboard just isn't practical for anything other than games and movi

Doesn't sound like a good relationship to me. I'd think you should get a good lawyer asap. Odds are you do have documentation. Get all the emails, receipts, etc. you can find, the code (hopefully you have logs, etc. of work in source contro

These are valid complaints about Android, although the one about there being a URL address entry, google page, and google button is way over the top, even if it is a valid UX issue. But... http://www.himalia.net/blogs/leovernazza/archive/2

My guess is that this is overblown a little. Rails apps make RESTful services fairly easy, even if it doesn't usually cover the entire spectrum of RESTful actions. Many Rails (CRUD) controllers are going to have 4 RESTful actions built into

Thanks for the link. I swear that I clicked on the right thread. I wonder if HN is moving so fast now that it is either easier to post to the wrong thread somehow, or it is actually posting to the wrong thread. Or maybe I'm just getting old
