Absolutely none at all. I drink water, from a tap only, and nothing else at all. I got rid of coffee and tea from my diet about 4 years ago. It was one of the best health improvements I have ever made. Instantly solved weight gain, insomnia

We had everything he said back then - it was just rather bulky. It's not a visionary statement - it's logic. I wish everyone would stop harping on about Jobs - he was a marketing expert not a visionary.

What is slightly more worrying is that if this based on the usual magazine distribution methods, 1/3 will be pulped without being sold.

I'm in the UK. The ones here tend to be broken.

Agreed ten times over. I've been trying to grab a 4:3 (1400x1050) T61 for a while off ebay as they're cheap and upgradeable to a reasonable spec. Unfortunately I can't seem to find one :(

Agreed. Got aa 710 and an 800 here. Nice phones for the money.

Yes entirely. This is not marketing - this is experience. If you pick decent host machines and decent hardware (read WHQL + decent brand) to plug in then you're sorted. Buy some shitty B-grade clone crap and you will suffer.

They don't. These machines are not connected to the Internet in any way shape or form.

Thanks for this - very helpful :)

It did suck a bit on XP. Vista pretty much fixed it all to be honest. It's pretty much perfect in Windows 7.

I agree. It's one of the easiest wins as well and one I've campaigned about for years.

My Lenovo T61 does the same and has done since I bought it a long time ago. There is perceived quality and actual quality. OSX has perceived quality, but little actual quality. You'll experience that if you have to deal with projectors, oth

He's pretty much spot on. My encounters with Windows 8 so far have lead to literally zero interaction with Metro other than for searching for stuff and starting programs for the first time which it's quite good at. Win+X is my start menu.

I asked myself the same question and came to the following conclusions: Less turtleneck, less hipsters, more user satisfaction, hardware that actually worked properly, more than a 7% market share, less hype, not another unix clone. More Son

Yes we'll see how principled Notch is when they wave a fat cheque in front of him... Money is the divider between words and actions.

Yes. Half of our guys have no qualifications at all or even dubious ones. What matters is that they can prove themselves and deliver stuff. People who are self taught and self motivated tend to go futher than CS graduates. Reputation is the

The point is really that SOA is probably for larger established organisations, not simple web apps etc. Your experience suggests that the organisations were not quite ready for SOA or chose the wrong tooling. I'm only making this point beca

Indeed. As a point to back this up, 97% of our 80,000,000 daily hits are internet explorer 7-10. This confirms is that browser statistics are rubbish!

The sad thing is we probably shouldn't need this. Good work though.

Technology is banned from my bedroom. Books and a Casio watch - that is all that is allowed. Much healthier for the mind from experience!

I live in London, UK. They are literally everywhere. A tablet is not a universal computing device: it's a portal for consuming stuff from a content producer. If it stood alone, then it would be, but they don't - none of them!

We had no training in place. I was expected to catch up in my own time, which I did but it was hard. This was a NASDAQ/FTSE listed defence contractor. Main things for me were by the time I left, we were in FPGA and microcontroller territory

Sorry but bollocks. And I'm fed up with this utter crap being spewed at every available moment. The day the local pc repair shops shut, the day the local electronics store shuts and the day that people pry my universal computing device out

I've seen that before. To be honest, most of it is crap. It's cherry picking. They're always splurging over Ubuntu and raspberry pi. the only bias I see is pro war and pro current government And the occasional shoddy piece of journalism.

It definitely hasn't. They've been terribly critical over the years. I think the issue is that they are not as biased against them as the rest of the industry who know how to get clicks for Microsoft bashing.

by eckyptang 14y ago
This. I did an ee degree. When I hit industry I quickly realised that I knew nothing. The company expected otherwise.

I still think he's being a sensationalist. Even the BBC are less biased here. There is no requirement to get it certified and you can just use minecraft how it is now without having to go near an app store. This is all hot air.
