Are you embarrassed because you feel like you could have put more into the projects that failed, or just because they failed? Failure is perfectly acceptable - if you ask any successful entrepreneur, they likely had a string of failed proje

I think it's really cool that Heroku is so transparent about their outages. A lot of companies try to cover them up or blame them on someone else. It's refreshing to see a company that not only acknowledges their outages, but even has a lis

It comes down to graphics performance. If they used an i3, they would need to use intel's integrated graphics, which are much slower than the geforce 320m. Going with the Core2 allows them to use Nvidia's chipset, which has a much faster in

Except that Dalvik isn't a JVM. The Microsoft JVM actually executed Java bytecode with some proprietary additions, which ran afoul of Sun's licensing terms. Dalvik executes dex files, and does so in a completely different manner than a JVM

I worked on the Page Creator Team at Google (WYSIWYG website editor that launched 4 or 5 years ago, and was eventually subsumed into Sites). It's cool to see how much better the technology is than it was back then (we literally had to build

I just started using a 2.4ghz 13-inch mbp for work. My personal machine is a mid-2007 white macbook (2.16ghz, 4GB RAM). I do like the Aluminum case, but the machine really isn't noticeably faster than the old one. Not that the old one is sl

Having tried something similar to this in the past, I found that the business was much more sales than technology. Small businesses are very cost-conscious, and slow to adopt new technology. It required a lot of sales up-front to land a dea

This reinforces what I've been telling people for the last month or so - the iPad is disruptive to the PC. Maybe it isn't as good as a PC in a lot of situations, but it provides sufficient functionality and speed that people will choose it

Could be that some veteran Facebook employees want to move to Washington state to avoid paying taxes on their stock. Shortly after Google went public, a lot of old-time Googlers moved to Washington so that they could avoid paying CA taxes

First of all, this is only in effect for like a month. It wouldn't kill anyone to wait it out until the ban is lifted. It sounds like Apple put in place a number of systems to keep people from gaming the rules (they caught that guy who was

I was hoping to get one of the 13" Macbook Pros to replace my 3 year old white Macbook. I love the 13" form factor. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough of a performance increase to justify the leap. So I sprung for the 15" with a high-re

I would say that college is a good time to learn how to socialize. Sure, you won't learn anything in college that you couldn't teach yourself by reading a book, but you will get four years of practice interacting with others. People go from

There's an interesting book called "Managers Not MBAs", written by a professor of business, which talks about why the MBA system is pretty broken. IMO, studying business as an undergrad is pretty useless. Study something real (science or en
