What's missing from skype that isnt provided by AIM or GTalk? Is it the ability to make phone calls?

I would consider that a bad response if you kept it after probing simply because the sales dept likes to sell clients on the lates/greatest tech. And if you were a serious web dev, you'd have to keep up with it in some way. Assuming you are

While at my last job I was tasked with being apart of the interview process. My favorite question was "how do you keep up with web technology and trends? (web development)" and I was surprised at how many people had no answer for that simpl

It does matter, especially when you have Microsoft crippling the web with their consistently outdated browsers. Just look at what WinPhone7 is running compared to everyone else's webkit-based solutions. Even when they get their ie9 on the p

Does this have anything to do with Rim's tab not being able to support Honeycomb-based apps, but previous Android version apps? I would guess that if rim had the source, they would support Honeycomb apps on the playbook and it would be a se

Yeah the down vote response was funny. It's as if cute girls in tech(replace with almost anything that is male dominated) aren't praised by males. Aside from her being an outlier, I think that the site is well designed and witty and makes a

So her being a cute girl has nothing to do with her getting attention for this website (which I personally think is cool)?

Are they still not producing which patents these people infringe on? How anyone, especially techkies, could pat MS on the back at any point in history is beyond me. MS is still at war with open source

That's funny to me because I feel that TechCrunch was the BIGGEST twitter cheerleader for many years. I even started a twitter account just because they felt that it was so important to the web and this was before the everyday man and celeb

Thanks, I'll put this on my ipad and go through it because I am interested in stats. Did a professor use a non-commercial book for their class? If so, that is amazing.

I was big into digg for a long time, then I discovered Reddit, which happens to be the exact opposite of every point that you made. Digg had some cool UI elements and a cool labs subdomain, and as a web dev, that kept me interested. The con

It pains me that I have to hack for IE f'n 9 -- their best browser to date. Text-shadow and gradients would move design ahead in a good way. At least there are hacks, ms-filter cruft for text shadow and svg for gradients

I love textmate. Thanks for this tip. There were times where I opened up photoshop just for the color picker!

Since when did os x have this? I've been using hacks to get the color picker to show up as an app for a very long time. This is an amazing find for me right now, thanks

My 9 year old son, who is the main ipad user, watched the video of the smart cover and was like :-O then he said "we should get the brown one." to which I was like "we're buying an ipad2?" Anyway, brown looks amazing http://www.blogcdn.com

It seems like the more horsepower that these consoles/video cards have, the more opportunity exists to create tools that create part of the graphical experience. IE a toolset that handles creating realtime dynamic forests or cities or hair

Crack and pirate. Decisions like the one this judge handed out makes it more and more clear that corporate interests trump those of everyday folks.

I find it to be very confusing and difficult to do very complicated things with. You have methods like position, or height, or width that all deal with the element. But size deals with the size of the collection and not the element. There a

Pylint (or maybe it was pep8) has told me not to make dicts default arguments when running it against my code, but didn't explain why. Thanks for the post.

They have nothing to worry about. Take this from someone who is going bald at a faster rate because I needed to assist in porting an chrome-only app over to support IE9. FF, Safari, Opera were no problem, money was all spent on IE

Just made one of these, really really half-assed. I had to strip a coaxe cable with a pair of scissors and my hands. That took at least 20 mins. But here we are http://imgur.com/a/6mE0W I have to remember to take that down before someone
