I've been a fan of orient for a while, although I have never actually used it. IMHO, graph features are pretty critical for a document store to be very useful. With full text search and extensible schemas, Orient has a very unique and

I would be a bigger fan if there were some included phonegap utilities & tutorials. Famo.us is making the same mistake for some reason. Aggressively targeting mobile, with half of the toolchain missing to actually shipping mobile apps.

Hey- thats nearly the exact same amount of time since I've used MooTools. For my uses, jQuery's popularity eventually won out, but now I congratulate myself on being jQuery free. Hopefully we can leave these massive and monolithic

I'm not certain about this notion, but I bet the media executives have done the math: DRM probably results in more profit due to lowered casual piracy than decreased profit due to people pirating out of DRM-protest. And I wouldn't

I doubt netflix looses much business because they require silverlight to watch. On the contrary, making DRM tech more accessible to developers will only help young startups build platforms that are "content provider friendly". Thi

The numbers for redis are going to be misleading. Are people voting for it because they use redis as their primary data store, or just because they use it at all? I use it redis a cache and I haven't voted for it because I assume this

Oh, really? I don't personally develop iOS apps, but as a technical guy, I understood what this thing is within 10 seconds of the page loading. It is a technical product with a niche. Maybe they weren't trying to market to you?

Seriously? You're illustrating the point here. On low tech cars, an attacker has to hack the cars one-at-a-time. They could endanger one car load of people with each "job". With high-tech cars, an attacker could hack every ca

Sure, I agree, but what system checks the signature? A responsible engineering team would have a dedicated piece of hardware for that. For decent security, it would need to physically sit between the untrusted, internet-connected machine an

I agree that truly different crypto-currencies is a very exciting frontier. The distributed block-chain technology has implications far wider than a basic ledger. For example, I'm quite excited by namecoin, a distributed DNS. I share y

How does Apple convince victims to sign an NDA? Is it attached to a massive cash settlement or something? I'm surprised the cover-ups haven't loudly backfired on them yet.

Adding a basic DRM to coffee pods would be trivial for Keurig to implement. There is no need for RFID on each pod. That would be a waste of money in my opinion. They can simply print a unique QR code on the bottom of each pod, and the Keuri
