One interesting phenomenon is the how Ruby and Rails are mostly in parallel worlds. It can't just be a language barrier. There are lots of initiatives like JRuby and Rubinius that are more or less ignored by the Ruby Core team. With all t

It's a much deeper social problem. You'd be surprised at the number of potential programmers that went to study law or economics because of the sheer career opportunities you get with this background. You see a lot of engineers that took a

I agree. Just look at the way Google slowed down the incrementally increasing storage of Gmail. It's been some time but it's still lagging after they did a major "bump" some years back. There might be a lot of applause at the beginning b

Techcrunch seems to relish in taking a little bit of fact and embellishing it with enough drama and politics. Now when the developer in question tries to correct it he looks like he was pressured into backing off. Facebook's iOS app has be

The next generation e-ink tablet hybrid is when the real battle begins. Not sure they even needed to release this even to get their foot in the door. What's their differentiation? It just makes the iPad look like it's better value to me.

If you're serving China, is HK that much better? When I went there and talked to people they mentioned the need to account for the North/South telecom divide. It's essentially two countries in terms of data center infrastructure.

Part of it may be how they seem to cycle OSX and iOS releases. With the Lion launch I'm sure engineers are stretched thin.

File this with UFO sightings. I agree that the sudden uptick in litigation reflects Apple being defensive but also paranoid to the fact that the iPhone can lose its edge as they transition to the post-Jobs era. Still, that doesn't suddenl

The app phenomenon on Facebook is all the more puzzling since it adds so little financially. This is something Gree and Mobage did quite well, eventually overshadowing Mixi because of all the revenue from in-house games, virtual goods and

This still quite far away isn't it? I know there is a 24.50 and lots of activity but the release cycle is pretty long.

When we evaluated Jquery Mobile, it just seemed to fall short of promise. It seemed to be too inflexible for "skinning" and added more bloat than using plain jquery with Mobile Boilerplate which turned out to be lighter and faster. http:/

If it's community interaction you seek it's hard to beat GitHub drink ups on this one. Drink beers with founders anywhere they go in the world.

I guess Reddit Inc. will be getting an application soon. Nice to see Tech Crunch still upholding their high standards of journalism despite Arrington's struggles.

I think the greatest example of what Yahoo! could have been is Yahoo! Japan. They own the auction space and as part of the juggernaut SoftBank group pretty much own a big part of the space (even more if you count the spun off Soft Bank Inv

This whole saga is nothing short of confusing. I guess the owners of TC lost sight of the picture when they saw a nice financial exit. They've covered AOL long enough to know how bad things might get. What's really interesting is how AOL

The title is sensational. He's just relinquishing editorial responsibilities and not all writing privileges so he can run a AOL-funded venture capital fund. The question is will he be able to leverage his connections and influence to perf

I think the Reeder App is over-designed. The developer basically blazes his own path and the app only follows conventions nominally. However, at the same time it's done with great taste. In some cases, following HIG to the letter might m

This pretty much confirms my reservations of investing in a closed stack. However, it's really a shame that Google didn't take the time to provide a clean migration path for people to take their apps out of the platform so they can scale u

What brand of journalism is this? Is the New York Times trying to shame Steve Jobs into donating his wealth? Basically, there is no information on Steve Jobs' philanthropy so the article is about other billionaires giving money and invest

It's funny that TechCrunch, a blog turned into a multimillion dollar acquisition from scratch, would assert this. Yet they say, "The fact that the Economist’s North American circulation has just reached its highest ever level tells us that

Seems like a better way to take care of yourself would be to get some exercise in this case. I bought one of those spinning gyro thingies for my wrist. I got them spinning pretty good but then I got elbow pain. Got more exercise and re-s

Complete removal seems a bit much. Why not the last revision number from their scm? Not sure why they keep insisting on going down this path. Version numbers and release schedules can be separate. They may be taking a page out of Chrome

MS Word's greatest sin is mixing up content and layout into a strange binary format. Whether it was a devious scheme to lock in users or bad design is anyone's guess but it sure crashed a lot when uou mixed tables and diagrams. Formatting

Thanks for the correction. The $500 card is going for $510 now. I've donated to Save the Children before and no doubt it's a good cause. Can't argue that I find this mildly offensive. I guess it's the violation of implicit rules of an e

I love my Kindle but not for current titles, just news and classics and some PDFs.
