In a literal sense, you are correct. But don't ignore the fact that there had to be a group of lawyers and execs in a room at the GooglePlex that gave this move a green light. This is why Google bought Motorola.

Damn, that really has me thinking about doing something similar. One advantage of being in Web development is I (and many others here) can work from anywhere as long as there is an an occasional Internet connection. Certainly nothing full

So, a handful of instances out of millions over the last 5 years. Got it.

While true, 'data' should always just be an object-literal. If template() is ever passed an instance of an object, there's something else seriously wrong elsewhere in your script.

Weakened the piece? The microscope-story was just fluff to prime the reader to be open to the idea that science can benefit humanity. It was loosely based on real events, and the quotes from the count assuredly are made up. Still, a good st

Yup. Oddly enough, YUI had a core team member (Eric Ferraiuolo) at Throne of JS to talk about Y.App, but apparently didn't get a mention in the linked blog post. shrugs

Good decision. There's nothing wrong with not releasing something you don't feel is up to par. I actually admire that. Ship it when it's ready, and not a moment sooner. On the other hand, there is something wrong with releasing a product

At $22, they are just fine. But if it continues to drop, then you will start to see some changes at FB as they have to free up high operational expenses. If it goes sub-$15, then they'll start making some tough decisions. Edit: So based of

"Revolutionary" is such a subjective term. Very, very few ideas are actually novel. In fact, dreaming them up is usually easier than pulling them off, so give Apple & Google some credit. While they aren't inventing the future from sc

Pretty much everywhere, but I know for a fact front-end (HTML/CSS/JS) is in high-demand. Just search for relevant terms on the careers site. Also, Flickr is hiring -> http://flickr.com/jobs/

The Y! Directory is still alive @ http://dir.yahoo.com/ . Also, the Open Directory Project has been around for years and years, http://www.dmoz.org/ . A few clicks around reminds me why directories were made obsolete.

Google blacklisted the cert within a few hours, which removed the extension. I installed Axis last night, and this morning I noticed it had disappeared from Chrome. So I just need to reinstall it, which will be signed with the new cert. H

Flickr has had 5 or 6 major updates this year, including a rebuilt uploader, redesigned photo page, a new justified view, social album browsing, integration of a new photo editor, and more. So, there is a lot of work being done at Flickr.

I'm asking around. It's all Web based, so I suspect that whatever limitations they ran into was because of browser extension issues.
