   I find the default browser on iPad very limiting. First of all you can only a have limited number of tabs open and if you open more tabs it closes the earliest opened tab. Another drawback is that you can't search from the address bar. In f

   I have been using Windows 8 Consumer Preview (and Developer Preview before that) as my primary OS and I love it. I use Windows 8 like Windows 7. All the applications that I use are pinned to the taskbar and I barely enter Metro UI. The only

   There were some optional theory questions (ungraded) which were more challenging and could be discussed in the forums.

    I think the course was at the right difficulty considering that it was an on-line course targeted towards an audience with different backgrounds and skill levels. In fact, in the forums there were a few people complaining about it being too

    I got 50gb added to my Dropbox account when I logged into the Dropbox app on the 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Maybe it will be a feature for all upcoming Samsung android devices.

    MIT and Harvard have committed to a combined $60 million ($30 million each) in institutional support, grants and philanthropy to launch the collaboration. This makes it bigger than Coursera and Udacity.

    I bought one unlocked from Expansys for 600$ last month. I was really happy with the phone until today. 200$ price drop was unexpected. Event the Nexus S, which is a 2 year old phone is available for 350$ on Amazon.

    I am not sure what exactly you mean by "friction problems", but one thing I am sure about is that it wasn't half-assed. Tim Roughgarden did an excellent job and went beyond the call of duty to provide advanced videos which covered material

    Sorry, I misinterpreted what Punch actually is. Maybe you could elaborate in "What is Punch" section that it uses node.js to generate HTML pages?

    I did something similar with a resume template [1] where instead of mustache I use angular. The problem with a purely client side solution is that it doesn't sit well with search engines. You would still need to figure out a way send html f

    Cool! Didn't know this page existed. I maintain a similar list of courses over at Class Central - http://www.class-central.com . In addition to Coursera's courses the list also includes courses from Udacity and MITx for easy comparison.

    I feel like Udacity's compiler class would be more practical and more entry level as compared to Coursera. Its target audience are the people who finished the recently concluded CS101 course. Coursera's version would be more theoretical, th

    A while back I had set out to solve the "multiple resume problem" where you generate resumes in different format(html,pdf,plain text etc.) from a single source. This way all your resumes are consistent. I haven't solved it completely yet bu
