Is the web development salary comparable to what you'd be getting paid at a similar level hardware-centric ee/ce job?

Neat concept and a well designed site, I hope you guys get some market penetration as I'm sure this would be a huge burden relief for teachers everywhere. A few suggestions: If I were you I'd make the login button stand out more by having t

Thanks for the feedback. Have you run into any problems or topics in the field that couldn't be self taught?

While people do sell alot of pretty useless stuff on that site, there's also alot of really useful services too. I wish they would do more filtering of the nonsense and get it focused to the more serious stuff, but I guess part of the fun o

None of the graphics loaded for me. I could see the goblin/reaper names, the player name & the chat box, but no graphics. Just a black screen

Does your current app have any sort of external-facing API built into it? That might be step one would be to implement an API to your server that would allow your iOS app to access the photos. Another option would be to design a mobile vers

Am I reading this right that if, for example, you're a professional photographer, and you backup your photos on Google Drive, they then have a license to print and distribute your photos without your permission (beyond this EULA)?

Being from Texas I've always wanted to do a start up in Austin, but as the article mentions, there's this pervasive notion that you have to be in SF/SV in order to get any real traction or attract any real talent. Is anyone familiar with th

Just finished my first Computer Architecture & Organization class, and after reading this article, I now have 6-7 more tabs open with wikipedias on the slew of acronyms he uses. A very well written article that I'm pretty sure just turn

Correct me if I'm wrong, but fluff and entertainment has a much lower barrier to entry than tackling real, tangible problems. Writing software is "free" in that I can sit and code for a few months in my free time, and put out a halfway dece

Really insightful article, especially for someone like me: a EE/CE student wondering about whether or not the current trends in tech jobs will continue into the future. I know I can get a job when I graduate in either hardware or software d

I'm surprised they didn't come out with this sooner. Anybody savvy with details as to whether this will bring in more or less income per user than the traditional sales methods?

The whole time I was using LabVIEW (for a class) I kept dreaming of the days when I'd be done with it and back to a typed language.

Out of curiosity, what's Mozilla's motivation for making a new language? Everything I'm reading here in the comments is talking about how this would be a replacement for c/c++, but wouldn't Mozilla be more interested in a language that's mo

I love it, I just wish you had used some cool 8-bit tower looking markers rather than the default GMaps markers. Great though, I'm hooked.

I launched a similar type service for finding student housing near my university, so I've spent alot of time studying design of real estate sites. I've got to hand it to you guys. Well designed and very intuitive. Wish I could have taken in

I found it a little ironic that on a site dedicated to user experience reviewing and criticism it took a good deal of work to figure out how to buy the product. No buy now button, no pricing info link, etc... I see now that its hidden in th

I have awesome and awful memories of using Lycos' Tripod as a web host back in its early days. That and Expages were what got me hooked on web development as a kid.

I've done a lot of work in audio and I agree completely with this article. The only true way to tell if someone is or is not hearing a difference is through an ABX, where you play somebody two known sources (A and B) then an unknown source

I like the general idea of the post, but I don't think being savvy in business and in tech is enough anymore. At this point in the game I think you actually need to be savvy in design and user experience as well. So much of a product is in

Am I the only one who thought "8GB, how underwhelming..."? In this case including the actual ammount of data stolen in the headline takes away from the impact of the story.
