One of the things that I loved about Toastmasters is that they designated someone to be the "um grammarian." Their job was to count how many times you used filler words or unnecessary pauses. Very frustrating at first, but damn it really ma

Fact, strangely, is loaded. Romney brought up Tesla as a negative investment in green energy. Obama holds them, or what they're doing, as an archetype of the new "American way" forward (even though they aren't breaking auto sales records).

Here is the hacker news opportunity: build a real-time fact checker for this type of claim. Remember Popup Video on VH1? Something like that.

MooTools has always aimed to be compliant with the next version of Ecma. In a lot of ways it is a shim for whatever is next.

I hate when people choose a standard that has cases where it shouldn't be followed. See the return semicolon injection JS bug/feature. I roll with BSD KNF across all of my brace-based langs.

After the "death" of webos, I watched the developers videos and wondered why the whole web community wasnt building apps. The dev tools seemed to be everything that the common web dev wanted.

As a non-California resident, Jerry Brown seems to be doing a pretty impressive job. He seems to talk about the real issues, especially when Cali's budget, and puts good legislation through.

Are you sure about that? A simple google search for "samsung sells most phones" says otherwise.

Yeah but that would die out eventually, like your laptop. These newer cars with sophisticated systems probably do something like you're talking about. My macbook will write the contents of ram to the hard drive once the battery dies and loa

Classic case of a developer putting a backdoor in (for testing) and forgetting to take it out. I'm curious as to how long it will take to patch it and if there will be any fallout over this (they are the number 1 phone producer in the world

As a web developer, I find that implementing a responsive design to be a fairly and rewarding task. I think it is worth the efforts given the screen variances of web-enabled devices. However, not all websites/services are fit for a responsi

It has always been a dream of mine to get desktop-like computing wherever I am; in the car, in a phone, on a bike, all sorts of craziness. The biggest drawback that I've always come up with is boot up and shut down times and when boot up an

Maps is the only example that I can think of when compared head to head, Google makes better software. I hope people will continue to complain because it will force apple to get their shit together and put out a better product. Myapple maps

As an ios user since 08, the nexus7 needs a lot of comparative polish. * The keyboard doesnt always pop up when you're in a text field. * What's the deal with font rendering in Chrome? Some links appear bigger than others (on hackernews and

Yeah they could had focused on a mobile-first mobile site, but to be fair, if they didnt make the iso app how were they going to get a copy of your address book?

I watch co-workers struggle all day with their windows-based terminals logged into Linux machines. Copy is something like shift+insert or they have to go to edit > copy. So painful

Mine is strange. I left the house yesterday and it was at 14% (got an alert), came home after work and it was dead. I didn't use it all evening, but plugged it up overnight and looked at it this morning and the meter was at about 50%. I hop

Thanks for this. I scanned the document and the language seems pretty straight forward, should be easy to learn. I did a search for classes and object oriented in the document (pdf) and it returned no results. I did a web search and came up

Yeah they definitely are not patent trolls unless the meaning of the term has changed since Lodsys made the news earlier this year. Lodsys seems to just be a company who has a bunch of patents and waits for someone to implement one and sue.

I asked in another thread, but the first few versions of android didn't have these features, what changed?

Doesn't Apple have a patent on multitouch in general? Remember when the first few versions of Android did everything not to step on those patents? When and why did that change?
