Keyword spam is another issue. Yesterday i was watching a Microsoft conference on digitalwpc.com and it shows tweets with the #wpc09 keyword. Initially it seemed nice to show tweets on the site, but spam (and sometimes stupid comments) made

I used Procmon to monitor Firefox at startup and it indeed traverses my entire temp folder and Internet Explorer's cache folder.

I don't live in the Bay area, but i think Microsoft's problem concerning startups is that they haven't created many exciting platforms for some time. Take for example the activity around iPhone and Android. Apple creates more roadblocks for

I stopped reading after "Before the iPhone, cell phone cameras were an add-on, something that you used in a pinch when you didn’t have anything else."

You can use fake whois data for a few days. It doesn't matter. Some time ago i reported a domain to ICANN that did not have a single valid looking whois field. The registrar (Melboure IT) did nothing and after a year or so the same data was

"Real time" to me means an interaction delay in the range of milliseconds. If the delay is more in the range of seconds like the web application i am working on then "live" would probably be a better term.

Many Apple users don't want to use Microsoft products. Unlike some Linux users i don't think most Mac users have a strong opinion about Microsoft. If Microsoft delivers a quality product that works well on the Mac people will use it. And

Haskell (e.g. http://learnyouahaskell.com ). Learning Haskell is exciting (when the headaches subside ;)) and although becoming more popular Haskell can be considered exotic. The best part imo is that learning Haskell's functional concepts

The audio and video element support is good for the open web but still needs work to be an alternative to Flash and Silverlight because currently it is too slow. It's not just because of Theora. Ogv videos play noticably better outside Fire

Whenever I see Mono in the news there's always someone like you mentioning Microsoft and patents. It gets old. Everyone already knows about the issue and has an opinion. I much prefer to read interesting (technical) opinions about Mono's ne

I suspect that many smart people do not troll but engage in a marketing game to preserve the status quo. It keeps the attention focused on the current leaders, away from newcomers that could potentially disrupt the status quo. Often the pro

If you have the spare time think of learning Haskell as a great learning experience. Haskell's concepts are imho worth your time and are useful to know when programming in other languages. It is a cliché but i do think learning Haskell has

As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. It would be funny if all those tweets about Gmail crash Twitter.

I meant in technical ability. Silverlight's install base is difficult to predict, although having a killer feature could help a lot. That said, i prefer open standards based solutions like Mozilla's Canvas 3D project.

Recursion also takes a while getting used to if you don't have a math background. Another issue is the frequent use of abbreviations in functional languages as seen in the Erlang example. A bit more verbosity in function and variable naming

I don't think forking the current concept would work. The Digg/Reddit model seems to have had its best time. Some new concept should be created. Twitter seems like the right direction to me because you can follow only the people that you th

Take a look at this picture: http://www.csharp-architect.com/images/MonobenchmarksIncLinu... Mono performs pretty good in comparison to Microsoft's runtime. The garbage collector still needs some work, but it would not surprise me if Mono

The Netherlands is actually one of the biggest net payers of the EU together with Sweden, Germany and Austria. The UK isn't a big net payer because of the British rebate.
