Looking at their usage "graph" (if the relative visuals indicate actual percentages), it appears that IE overall is a very small percentage of their views - perhaps 3-5%. Within that small percentage, IE 8 makes up what appears to

There's some undertone about having Drummond listed as the co-author. When the chief legal officer co-authors a post with a ceo, it means that each word has been carefully chosen, because each of these statements carries serious conseq

I was wondering if this is a reaction to the whole 6 strikes thing, and the desire to avoid detection with a seedbox or VPN. Of course, which you would want to pay for anonymously.

Did you consult an attorney before doing this? I'm curious what the ramifications are. Back in my boutique days, we were stiffed several times, but I never wanted to pull a stunt like this for fear of legal retribution. Instead, I hired som

Skeuomorphism has been interpreted two ways - as decorative elements (leather stitching), and in functionality that attempts to emulate a real world object (page flipping in an e-book). The former is just a matter of aesthetic preference. W

Interesting that Jony will be overseeing UI. I expect a more minimalistic polish to upcoming interfaces. In other words, this is the beginning of the end for the skeuomorphism trend at Apple.

I found it interesting that the hosts of that show were suggesting that the system would be self-correcting. I think that may have been the case before a global economy, but now if your home nation can't consume, a corporation can either re

I feel your pain. Two days to a week is "free work", not a challenge project. I too would respectfully decline if I wasn't getting paid.
