What chance is there that other mainstream browsers are going to support this codec? It's great for Firefox to get out in front, but when will IE and Safari follow?

Yes, many people really are that naïve about hydrogen. My university works closely with General Motors, and every time there's an event a GM fuel cell car shows up. People go nuts over the things, and the GM people are right there with thei

My solution was simple: add digg, reddit, and slashdot to Safari AdBlock's filters. It has really changed my life!

Why oh why are we still depending on optical character recognition to tell people and computers apart? There are so many visual things people can do well and computers can't. Just look at KittenAuth! Granted, you need something with pretty

Nope. The article specifically states that Rosetta Stone violates most of the principles the learning research has shown.

I really thought I could never switch away from Firefox because of all of the extensions I "couldn't live without," but I started playing with Webkit nightlies a few weeks back and never looked back. It's faster, launches quickly, eats less

It seems to me the answer here is for HTML 5's video element to gain traction. Then we can get the codec and interface out of the walled garden of whatever Flash video player sites have crafted, and put the control back in the browser. If S

Wow...I really don't remember reading that, but I swear I've read all of PG's essays, at least for the past five years or so. I feel like the biggest thing missing here at RPI is cofounders. There are plenty of smart people, but the mentali

How are any of these proposed mergers actually going to, y'know, work? As far as I can see, the only compatible culture for Yahoo is Google, and anything else is going to mean a huge exodus. Of course, with all of the ex-googlers roaming

There seem to be very smart, thoughtful people on both sides of this issue. On the one hand, I sense a consensus that the current DHTML/JavaScript mess is terrible. On the other hand, it's working pretty well for what it's doing. Is there s

This is starting to sound like that fantasy everybody not-quite-technical-enough has about how someday software will be just dragging and dropping little boxes on the screen, and everybody can do it! As it turns out, drag & drop doesn't

>You can always go back to school... Yeah, I've been thinking that. However, a lot of schools I've looked at are looking for Junior-year transfer students. If I take a break now, I'm basically looking at a full 4 years. Granted, I've on

Yes, learning is most definitely a critical skill! Fortunately, my early education (pre-high school) placed a huge emphasis on learning to love learning, and I spent a great deal of my free time learning from textbooks etc. I've actually re

Be careful! VCs also have a somewhat different outlook than founders or angels. Taking money early from them means they're involved early, and they're probably going to want to see results. Some pressure can be healthy, but too much can kil

Maybe this isn't the right place to ask, but what if you're a tech partner looking for a businessperson? There seems to be a lot of talk out there about evaluating geeks, but how do you sift through all the chaff of idea guys?
