   If you agree with Schopenhauer on "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." and if you accept that the space Dave operates is populated by

   I would not consider Jason Kottke to be an "up-and-coming young blogger". He's been blogging since March 1998. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Kottke

   Not understanding your customer in this day and age when there are so many effective ways of doing so is inexcusable.

   I normally always have a Windows VM running, leaving me only 4GB on either side. Oh, and Skype kills me on the Mac side.

    You're right, but the OWC upgrade is fairly pricey at $629. I was thinking that if Apple supported it right from the store, it would drive down third party prices?

    I went to see if I could load one up with more than 8GB of memory, and alas, one still cannot get this for any amount of money. I may be the fringe, but a 16GB MBP would be very hard to beat.

    For some reason, I always find Friday afternoons the most productive "office hours" time; I suspect because people are too busy thinking about their weekends, too busy wrapping things up, or some other reason I'm not aware of. Sometimes, I

    In those critical first few seconds where I am determining if I want to read further, and instead I have to battle text jumping around because of ads, it makes me wonder if anyone at Forbes cares about usability.

    First comment on this story is "'press the Windows key and start typing the name' Who on earth does that? I don’t want to TYPE anything. I want to point and click as much as possible! Even on a PC" Which I think precisely differentiates the

    A bit off focus, but I always find it odd when people declare they would prefer to code in x because it is more beautiful, more y, or more z. Languages are tools, we should select the right one for the job and use it as such.

    "If I need to get anything done I normally do it at night or on the weekend" Why do so many share this same problem? Anyone should be concerned when this is the case. What this says to me is that the current setup is unproductive and needs

    Scott Chacon is also excellent in this area. He was a Codemash keynote presenter in January of this year. He talked specifically on how GitHub is organized, how they decide what to build next and how they get those things done.

    It is questionable strategy to give control of your brand over to another party. I also wonder how companies are truly monetizing their FB traffic.
