There are a lot of them, trust me. Browsers have been improving? Wonderful, but some of us still need to support the unimproved ones. As grandparent says, dealing with these quirks is a waste of time and effort. We've gotten to such a point

I didn't downvote, but it just seems silly to me to accuse Apple of revisionist history. I think they're a lot more interested in the future than the past. Apple at that point in history was very close to going out of business, Jobs said th

I don't think there's anything plausible about inferring anything from a UA string, but you make a good point here. 5.1 should come on Wednesday, hopefully for all current iOS devices and not just iPad 3.

Maybe MS and Apple think other things are much more worth talking about. I would concur, personally.

I think they probably were. Copyright holders can just keep trying to pass the same law, people will get tired of resisting, and it'll happen. In light of that, the complaint that they were unable to get out their side of the story strikes

Yep, it is advised to never trust client-side input for a reason.

Huh. I saw it as more of a Twitter clone for businesses, that allows you to say things that would be too sensitive to say on Twitter. My workplace used it briefly, but has switched to Socialtext. Maybe it has changed in the meantime. I'll a

At the same time, the world is full of ideas, and a pretty tiny fraction of them are any good. The world feels especially full of ideas these days, since a lot of folks now fancy themselves "creatives" (that is, people who come up with idea

I recommend not buying into this narrative. 7 really was not that much different from Vista, but people persist in this perception that Vista was an abomination whereas 7 is somehow incredible. The truth is, Windows has a huge obligation to

How fortuitous that you would post such a comment while this discussion is on the front page: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3652067 I suggest you peruse it.

Kind of annoying how this guy is becoming a media darling.

This is more detail than I have ever seen on this topic. Is anyone sure that this guy actually knows what he's talking about?

OK, and I don't expect that. XP is obsolete, and if people want new software they can upgrade. If they don't, well, XP appears to be working just fine for those folks, doesn't it? This is how we move forward.

> that's why apple won't find much traction in the business world. backwards compatibility is very important. By all appearances they don't care to be in that market, and for that very reason. So, the system works.

You are essentially arguing that Windows Vista, 7, and 8 do not offer substantial improvements over XP. They do, though. But anyway, given their customer base and the history of their decisions, there's not a lot MS can do to make everyone

You make it sound so sinister, but this is how progress is made. As an example, OS X is so good now because Apple had the courage of their convictions to make breaks with the past. I don't think it makes sense to expect an IDE released this

TechCrunch was always shitty, people are just noticing now.

I work for "Just ship it, I don't care" with a veneer of "Oh yeah, we'll totally do code reviews one day. For now, just write really really good code and don't make any mistakes, OK?" Something breaks approximately once a day. Yes I am look

Well, that was certainly saying something. Only problem is, I have absolutely no idea what.

OK. TechCrunch is not one of the absolute worst websites ever to grace the internet, its employees are not the dregs of our industry, and contemplating the opportunities available to those who worked on it definitely does not give me a god

Ouch. Well, sometimes the dev wants to look at the world around them but isn't able. For example, I used to work for a company that sold software to health clubs, including high end ones like Equinox. I made various things, from a web app

What a scam. People don't even understand how these drugs work in the first place, and now the government, insurance, and pharm industries combine to screw people out of the things they're convinced they need for their brains to work. Gross

I completely agree, but I wouldn't mind it nearly so much if the "expired link" page at the very least had a link to the home page.
