I'm not particularly in the know, but I think it's important to keep in mind that this isn't a "normal" platform release. Honeycomb is still a bit immature, we're not expecting to see shipping devices for another 3-6 months (Motorola is sim

Heavily edited Ok, so my wife is around now. She's a CPA/PhD in accounting and does a lot of work with small businesses, so I suppose she knows what she's talking about. While non-profits are not her specific area of study, she does do th

Really? You really believe that? I've been using an Android phone exclusively for the last year. I love it. I'm hardly alone. I find it a superior experience to the iPhone in a lot of ways.

That's the entire point of Honeycomb. It's too provide native support for tablet interfaces. *edit: native support for native interfaces doesn't make any sense:)

Much like this article right? The article simply brought to light a study that says "previous studies suffer from a bias". The study did not appear to say "alcohol is bad for the heart" or that those studies drew incorrect conclusions. Simp

I lived in Italy for a few years (Northern). Generally the portions of pasta that you ate were relatively small. You also ate a lot of fish, stews, and vegetables. In regions of Italy that DO eat mostly carb loaded diets (like Sicily) there

If I was going to guess: They didn't want you in the office with 2.5x the vacation of the rest of their workers. By stashing you in London, if anyone took issue, they just point out that it's customary.

While I don't disagree, isn't there some moral value in creating a business that employs folks who can feed their family? Morality is a really tricky thing.

I think colleges just do a terrible job of actually saying what they do. The purpose of an undergraduate education isn't the simple transfer of knowledge, it's more about "learning how to learn." The thing I've noticed about the self-educat

Counterpoint: First off, I don't have a college degree. I have something like 102 hours, so I'm a year'ish short. That said, I'm always a bit wary of hiring folks who don't have (at least) a liberal arts education of some kind. I don't real
