Bing has hover previews too, they just activate with a gesture to the right rather than a mouseover. The content of Google's previews is far superior though.

Bing will never be a significant source of revenue if it has no users. Like it or not, browser defaults drive market share. Besides, what's wrong with a large company trying to diversify streams of income?

Pretty annoying that I can't even try out e2 as I've had my licensed copy of e installed for longer than the trial period.

Seems kind of strange to open the device up to such easy criticism. iTV? It doesn't even have 1080p!

I don't think you can claim that mixing advertisements and content is a bad thing unless the advertisements are misleading. There is nothing misleading about those links.

I'm just starting to go beyond Excel, but I chose to learn Python and scipy over R due to reading that R's scripting language didn't match up to Python. Am I handicapping myself by ignoring R?

I would caution against writing off touch screens so readily. Take a look at the Misa Digital Guitar ( http://www.youtube.com/misadigital ), for example.

That's a great idea. Here's a suggestion for an extra feature: let me group search results by company. Then I can quickly get an idea for who's hiring without paging though hundreds of results.

Offtopic: that syntax highlighting upon mouseover is a great idea. Does the fact that I haven't seen this before mean I need to get a new editor?

Playlists and metadata are just a better abstraction than a hierarchy of directories and files for music. Why should anyone care where the data is stored when they just want to hear a playlist? Of course, control is the reason Apple/MS don'

It was very worthwhile for me. The feedback I got on startup ideas was motivating. It'd be great if others that attended could post here as well, if only to help me remember all the names!

Exactly, multiplying two numbers and reversing a string aren't what got me interested in Ruby. TryRuby was an absolutely frictionless way to learn the basics because it had a few lessons built in. I'll be back to this site in a few weeks to

It's true that lexically scoped variables can replace closures when all you're using closures for is to wrap a section of code in starting and ending sections. But blocks are more general purpose than this. Have a look at the clean API that

I don't know much (anything) about relational algebra or breaking closure properties, so I'm glad my sentiment was clear despite that error. Is project different from map because it can only output a subset of the attributes that go in, whe

So this is Linq for Ruby. Using this in place of ActiveRecord's querying API will be great. One nice thing about Linq though is that most (all?) of the methods on IEnumerable have the same semantics as those on IQueryable. Ruby has a pretty

Wow, thanks for this. That's a great implementation of the same feature. You even get suggestions for your search terms - something Firefox doesn't do unless you use the dedicated search field.
