The salaries for technology workers in the Waterloo Region are so horribly depressed compared to other parts of Canada, and the US, that no half decent developer will stay there. If they have half a brain they'll move to San Fran and easil

Like in the past, hopefully browser authors and working groups take what is being done in JavaScript frameworks, and makes those tasks easier to implement and platform/browser agnostic. It is work like this that is the direct reason that we

This is like feeling sorry for people who work overtime for telemarketers. Oh poor them. Zynga was a cheesy business to begin with, and absolutely every employee there knew it.

Maybe I want to read the news article describing it first, and then decide if I want to visit webplatform.org or not.

What's not very clear to me is if my Glacier files are a subset of my Dropbox files, or a separate datastore. I only have 2GB of Dropbox space because I never upgraded. But I have about 100GB of archive data I'd probably throw into Amazon

By far the worst thing about this is there will never be an improved web browser on the iPad... ever. Because of Apple ridiculous aversion to altenate web browsers (that don't use the Safari engine) no third party will be able to deliver a

But it's still registered to Ryan Dahl/Joyent, so it probably can still be renewed.

Usually there's a grace period where the owner can still renew it, and before anyone else can. If the domain actually expired 60 or 90 days ago then they're probably hosed.

The dev tools seemed to be everything that the common web dev wanted. The dev tools are useless if the platform is a failure. Had HP not prematurely aborted the platform, and a Phonegap port been maintained, then I can hardly see w

I hope all Android OEMs are fully aware that Google has tricked them all into a race to the bottom. That's pretty much been Google's strategy against all its competitors to date.

This looks like a great way to build iOS games in HTML5. If he could to get this to work as an Android project it could be used to build games for OUYA.

The scoring system needs to be bell-curve weighted by the release date of the movie.

It's a big job, spying on every US citizen, treating each of them as a "terrorist", and coordinating which secret internment camp to send dissidents.

1) How do you deal with songs that have multiple genres? In "Singles" I sometimes copy individual MP3's into both Rock and Metal. It comes up less often than you'd think. 2) how do you deal with album that has songs of varying styles? I ju

Use hierarchical directories. They work. I sort my mp3's into two distinct music collections: /Albums/ /Singles/ Then I sort by genre: /Albums/%GENRE /Singles/%GENRE In Albums, I then sort by artist, then by album:

High margin, incompatible products are really good business. Apple knows it, and that's why they've been developing incompatible plugs, computers, printers, and software since its existence. They thrive on being incompatible with the rest

That reminds me of the John Ford quote: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." People do not desire better desktop operating systems. They want computers to disappear. It simply does not matte

Only a fraction of companies can ever really outgrow the capabilities of a fully tuned RDMS. And only a fraction of those will choose HBase over its competitors. And so only people who have worked for such companies have any real experien

Wow, talk about being out of touch with the real world. Developers, especially Linux developers, really need to give up on this whole "Desktop" operating system idea. It's not going to work. It is already dead. And I can hardly believe

As mentioned in the comments see MariaDB ( http://mariadb.org/ ), an open source fork of MySQL from before the Oracle acquisition. Like Hudson, MySQL will live on.

Facebook stock simply had no business being valued that high to begin with. This was a classic pump and dump operation by the investment firms who took this company public. I thought Facebook was at best fully valued back when Microsoft b
