Seems most useful for information that changes often. Say, for example, you move around a lot and I want to know when you're in town. I could poll your API (and others like you) and see who's in town this week. Or maybe, as a free

Yeah, but saving money is also appreciated by those who actually make the purchasing decisions :)

Useless? Not at all, but it's just data . It has to be interpreted, and how you do that depends on your needs. If nothing else, it's interesting from a technical standpoint to see the huge difference it performance. To think that

You underestimate how complex facebook is nowadays. Even the core is much more than just people friending each other. If you mean "mimicking on or two of the features" I'm with you :)

Oh, ok. It was your last lines that made me think of cross-platform availability and sharing. Let's say SkyDrive had 100% of the windows users but only 10% of the Mac users. It would not be especially useful to me since one of the two

A big use of dropbox is sharing files with other people.. so unless all your friends run windows as well, cross platform is actually a big deal. I'm sharing some vacations photos with Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone and Linux users.

" government-owned " is misleading, it's not used for " every online consumer money transaction performed ", and, if I understand it correctly, it's just one extra click ..

However, is it far fetched to think illicit funds might finance the development of a virtual economy, in a mobile game perhaps, that could be used to launder money? I don't think so.. The lure is that it can be fast and automated, an

Looks like it's US only? ZIP code?? Residents of 48 US states have the ability to send and receive Square Cash. Currently, you'll be limited to receiving Square Cash if you live in the following two states..

Did you just compare heroin to cars? =/ Think his point is that heroin is generally not considered a good thing, although it can obviously have some nice effects.

Here's a dumb analogy to show what I mean: "You want to switch out the horse? How are you going to get around? Show me something that has at least four legs, can run as fast, eats less and has more stamina!" The car or the pl

If you don't want to / can't use C#, there's simply no alternative for bigger projects. People keep repeating this as it was some sort of axiom. My feeling is that people mean that it's hard to write large Java-li

DRM has shackled the content and the industry for years. Who know where we would be without it? Who knows what cool, innovative solutions never saw the light? Who knows all they ways they could have made money had they taken another attitud

Really? At least half of my "normal" friends know how to torrent stuff. That any normal people would torrent anything says a lot. Normally convenience wins. Maybe torrenting actually is the easiest way to get some content? For

Probably the first one, if the content ever became available. But don't forget that implementing something like this will have negative consequences as well. By dodging these consequences Mozilla could - at leas in theory - gain an upp

oh, ok.. I thought you had to go through the "start screen" for some applications.

yeah, but that's not how I use 7. I click the "pinned" icon in the taskbar. (It's not as fast as a keyboard short-cut, but it's good enough.)

Fair enough, it's not the most fitting term. I remember a lot of hype and no actual problems. I suspect others do as well, and this could lead to people thinking about the whole problem as over-hyped and a non-issue. Not saying that

Good read, even if you, like me, don't care too much about the low-level stuff.. A few takeaways: - Embedded 32bit is everywhere. Sure they'll fix the obvious ones, but I'm sure some things will be forgotten about. This probl

No doubt about it, though, UltraBooks DO suck. EDIT: I'm going to revise my statement on UltraBooks. Not all of them suck. In particular, the Lenovo Yoga is fantastic I suspect neither you or the OP have been paying attention lately?

Is Ruby going to be around in 5 years? Ruby (the language) and rails (the web-framework) are not the latest fads to come out. Rails hit 1.0 in 2005, a.k.a. almost 8 years ago, ruby is much older. Although there can be good reasons to choo

The reasons for this [that no one uses C] aren’t terribly difficult to discern. Let’s face it: compared with higher-level languages, C is hard. Like, objectively hard So.. instead of leading with one of the many, many great reasons not to
