Someone wrote up an example in Javascript. It is fairly simple, the event object has a force member which seems to range from 0-1. This should be a standard, it really does change the way touch devices are used. I'm starting to dislike

I am a huge fan of the Tinkerpop Stack ( http://tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org ) -- they have written a common set of interfaces for graph databases. There is an implementation that can use Postgres as its storage engine ( https:&

I think the Apple/iPhone has a common design language across products like the BMW has with theirs (kidney bean grill, four headlamps, and the Hofmeister kink). I love when you can view a product's change over the years and the fi

I have vague memories of opening new windows with window.open to fill out a form and communicating state back to the parent window. I also did it with iframes, probably to upload a form without a page refresh.

To me it seems clear that they've decided to dislike Ellen ( they have sub dedicated to portraying her as Hitler, for fucks sake). So whenever her administration makes a mistake their reaction is going to be bloody murder. Yeah firing

I like Reddit, a lot, but the community is shit. I read this apology and then Ellen's reply and that has negative 55 hundred votes. They have no real reason to dislike her. They have no real reason to be mad at the one woman being fire

Did Google recently say that most of their mobile ad revenue comes from iOS users? I could see this prompting a Apple/Google cold war that would go as far as iOS including ad blocking by default in a few years.
