Unless they have a screen that can rival the Retina, this is dead on arrival.

I started a business text-messaging service, and succeeded in my first two sales calls with local businesses. It was instantly profitable and is growing. Currently I am not ready to sell it nationally, as I am refining and adding some new

I think that may just be a straw-man argument. It should not be difficult to figure out how it works, the logic is laid out right in front of you. There is always a learning curve when taking over a project.

I'd love to see any that run as smoothly as if they were native.

It would be very very hard. It's so incredibly bloated and not modular at all. Every piece of it loads even if you don't use it. To me, it's like using Java for a Windows desktop app.

You used PhoneGap.. that's why your application sucks.

I've never understood the hate for cowboy coders. A great cowboy coder can do the work of an entire team. It's so typical for people to cry that the cowboy causes work for others, but I've never seen it myself, and I expect the great many

Are you going to pretend that there is much difference between owning it and having a license to use it however they want? Your last point is noted, hence why I do not use their site... It's the most interesting point in that most people ne

It's pretty good and I enjoyed it a lot... Now on my 3rd time through, some of the stuff has me scratching my head. Why am I lighting the signal fires, doesn't everyone already know everything is fscked? NPC's are completely useless aga

If you've made it to Inferno, doesn't that imply you've enjoyed ~40+ hours of Diablo 3? It's some very cheap entertainment once the hours count gets near the dollar cost.

The privacy argument invariably turns to someone talking about their privacy settings being perfect.... The elephant in the room is that you have no privacy FROM FACEBOOK, and they OWN YOUR DATA. Soon enough, they'll be leveraging it in ord

I wondered if it was April Fools day... Really, JSON is lightweight enough that it doesn't need compressing. We're not dealing with XML here! This just adds another point of failure.

Interesting... does Meebo have any patents? I really would've expected that Google could re-develop any Meebo technology for cheaper than an acquisition.

It is unfortunate they are both scary companies. They both know too much about their users, and their users connections. Even if you don't have a Facebook account, there is probably still some evidence of you in their system. Unlike Faceb

Try using less things... How about just using Node and Mongo, and building the rest yourself? Node being in its infancy is a pretty good reason in itself to not tie yourself to the frameworks which are likewise infantile. I've got several p

Well said... I miss my old 21" CRT that had higher resolution than my current LCDs. (1920x1200 vs 1920x1080). Damn HD TV's for ruining the resolution craze.

Productive? Certainly not, but that's not the fault or the point of the equipment. I'm just surprised.. I spend a lot on tech because I love it, and I expect others who are so immersed in tech to do the same. My computer is almost 2 years

It doesn't really make sense that I have more and better equipment than ESR. You would think in his field he would spend more money on technology.

This is bone-headed, as are the restrictions on WinRT... Makes me more likely to focus on other platforms.

It costs ~200k to buy a TLD, so if they are not funded they will obviously not be applying for the TLD.

Not impressed at all... the site is quite slow. Way to toot your own horn.

Sorry for this: You really need to have a graphics designer give your site an update. It's so painful to the eyes that I can't even bring myself to sign up.

He made billions on the IPO... I think that he is less concerned with the future of Facebook than you think. They'll no doubt attempt to provide shareholder value, but will likely find it impossible without truly turning to the dark side.

Google is everywhere, in everything. Google built a platform that allows others to build businesses on. I'm getting quite scared of them as well, but there's no comparing them with Facebook. Google has moved beyond just advertisements. A
