I remember first starting to read reddit probably about a year or so before digg v4. Originally I thought the site style was boring, but I kept coming back because there was always fresh content. I noticed that after digg v4 things started

It's like somebody in Moscow, Idaho getting upset that people don't refer to it as Moscow, Russia. Face it, Portland, Oregon is the real Portland.

Where's the red? It looks cleaner but generic.

I agree. The way Apple is run today is every other department exists to make Steve and his design pals happy. Unlike most other technology companies, design is king and it should stay that way.

The cloud is going to eliminate the need for Windows IT infrastructure. Who needs group policies when you run everything in the cloud?

The "node" text is visually distinct from the "js" hex. It isn't really a cohesive logo. I think the node text leaves a lot to be desired. It's cluttered, inconsistent, and that sort of hex lettering is cliché. I agree with you. Using only

I saw this graphic in a WSJ piece a while ago. Obviously many patents are probably unrelated to mobile, but still. Pretty shocking: http://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/MK-BN208A_norte_G_... That is some serious ganging-up on Google.

Very interesting. Proponents of "Paleo" diets always say that it reduces cancer risk, but this looks to be a solid study. But they did keep fat percentage low, unlike low-carb diets like the Atkins diet which call for 50% fat.

I think there's no doubt this is great for Valve. But as a player who dearly misses vanilla TF2, how is Valve going to combat the influx of greifers and hackers? What stops someone from running TF2 in a VM and continually making new account

And they took it down. Usability didn't look great. But at least they made the page load faster. Techcrunch is horrible because it takes ages to load. They really need to optimize it.

I agree. I won't even consider a Windows laptop because of this. Though it is a shame that Apple has a gimped touchpad driver in Windows. The touchpad in OS X and Windows isn't even comparable.

That tech isn't really DRM. It in no way reduces or inhibits current functionality. All it does is provide something extra that content providers may choose to use (for streaming hd video). You aren't forced into using it, and if you don't

Just scroll? If it moves it isn't your monitor. But yeah that background is a bit irritating.

Someone who is likely to do their own SSD upgrade is probably a power user who already understands which SSD they want. They might read Anandtech SSD articles and Newegg reviews, and probably are well versed in the advantages of the various

Chrome OS is the epitome of this. The whole operating system is just a browser. Nothing to configure, install or break.

This is unrelated to some of the demos, but one advantage to using CSS as opposed JavaScript, particularly regarding animations, is that CSS animations can be hardware-accelerated.

Presumably if the passwords are hashed they have no way of telling you your password. They can only reset it. So yes, generally if they send you the password then that means they store it in plain text. While it isn't always that hard to cr

I don't really think this satire is very funny. But maybe thats just me. Honestly I was hoping for some serious arguments.

Some things about WebOS are absolutely fantastic. My first smartphone was a Pre Plus when it came out on Verizon for like $40. The software was pretty great. The multitasking was perfect, Synergy was awesome. It wasn't quite as polished in

This is surprising considering the good relationship between Apple and Intel. A couple of recent examples are Thunderbolt and the unreleased Z68 chipset that is in the newest iMacs. I really doubt this will happen anywhere in the near futur

I think the idea is that if you use single quotes for strings, you don't have to escape the double quotes that are often found in html. '<p id="foo">something</p>' But the same goes for something like "you can't do that" I g

I disagree on the usage of double quotes over single quotes for strings. Single quotes are useful when the string contains HTML. The Google JavaScript Style guide recommends single quotes over double quotes for this reason: http://google-s

Agreed. There are a lot of "color scheme" sites, but Colourlovers is by far the best. I use Colourlovers all the time for color inspiration and palettes. Its a wonderful site.

I've found this to be true as well. My writing ability and creativity seem to improve when I stay up late. I'd like to see a real study into this. But anecdotal evidence seems to support this idea.
