   12 hours later I think I have everything working as I intend . . though my productivity is still taking a hit trying to find various things.

   Sure we still use email, our website/forums and even a tray app. But nothing gets the response Facebook engenders so if we were cut off from that we would take a serious hit, probably not business threatening but certainly it would cut reve

   You go to your customer's preferred method of communication. If your customers are predominantly Facebook users then that is where you go. Our customers are mostly teens and the best way to reach them and keep them engaged is through Facebo

   Perspective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV8M The most important section of Sagan's book I believe. Put it on when you have had a bad day or are struggling with a task. I cannot count the number of times I have posted this on HN

   Rails certainly has a larger community than Django's, but I have found the signal to noise ratio is higher on the Rails communities as well. All that attention has come at a cost. There is also Python vs Ruby documentation and library suppo

   Specific examples would be great as I am building a web app in Django right now that I hope will have a lot of untrusted users. Certainly I can point to examples of apps (such as http://disqus.com/ ) who use Django extensively and have lot

   You know all that beautiful admin of which I assume you refer to? All that code is exposed, documented and very easy to use/customise.

    Which do you prefer Ruby or Python? Both Rails and Django have lively helpful communities with great documentation and extensive libraries. You could even play with both over a few hours and pick the one that has the style you prefer. What

    I am currently in the no mans land where I need to upgrade my 3G but am hanging on till the next iPhone. If Apple don't announce something soon I shall have no choice but to jump ship to Android.

    I too read this many years ago. I find its impact no less that when I first read it. It is an excellent example of a science fiction short story pithy, well written with a fantastic premise and a great ending. The details of which religion

    Scratching my head how they collected this data. The comScore MobiLens[1] site doesn't seem to be any more forthcoming than the report[2] itself. Anecdotally I don't know anyone who owns an iPad that doesn't own an iPhone. Not saying they d

    All of this talk reminds me of Rainbow's End by Vernor Vinge, a near future novel set in a future where augmented reality is ubiquitous. As part of the climax of the book there is talk of revoking a root certificate which would cause most o

    No. Yes, it does cover UX but it also covers how technical people and business people should think and act as well. I have noticed a bit of a backlash on the whole lean methodology. OP isn't exactly a complaint but it does confuse what Eric
