If I had to guess, I'd say this will be the launch of Apple's cloud service. Coming right on the tails of Google I/O, it should take the spotlight from Google Music(what little it has). Also, this early announcement will allow developers

Google allows you to search up to a certain date. The results up to April 30th remove much of this latest "resurgence" of the quote, but it's still pretty much saturated with quotes about Bin Laden, a lot of the dates are just wrong and co

The scary part here is that this intrusion was only found because of a security review due to the PSN intrusion. If that hadn't of happened, who knows when/if they would have figured it out. How often does this type of thing happen and no

In the discussions after the AWS outage, a lot of people seemed to be assuming that Netflix was able to stay up because they had the $$$$ to spread their service across multiple regions, not just AZ's. It looks like that wasn't the case, th

Honestly, this is the first time I've ever caught myself saying "Wow!" out-loud when visiting a website. But, I think there is some issue with the framerate reporting. It was indicating between 40 and 60fps on my machine, but performance w

I often tunnel my traffic through an EC2 instance when I'm on public WiFi and I've run into this problem with a number of sites. Most notably (and annoying when out in the city), Yelp.

I think this would exacerbate the "comment quality" problem by encouraging people to make lots of sub-par comments so they can gain enough karma to submit their latest blog post.

I also had issues with blurry text while hardware acceleration is enabled. I assume it is due to the Direct Draw, but I don't see the same issue in IE9 w/ hardware acceleration enabled.

Neat technology, but I'm a bit worried about having to leave the browser window open before/during the transfer. I accidentally close tabs all the time, I wouldn't want to do that in the middle of a long transfer. I'm going to give the ser

I had the same problem with a pretty well-known tech company in Cupertino(but not THAT one). Any phone calls that involved me getting back my hotel costs were not returned, despite promises to the contrary before I interviewed.

I think that profile viewing habits would play the biggest role, which only FB has access to.

GoDaddy seems to draw more than their share of negative attention because they make really crappy commercials that objectify women. Add a few more zeros to the budget and you end up with high quality commercial that objectifies women but ge

According to Facebook, they've been testing it on their Developer and Facebook blog. I remember seeing it last week and thinking, "Oh, I've never seen that Facebook commenting system before". Example: http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?pos

The emulator is painfully slow even when dealing with the basic android 2.3 UI - I think there is going to have to be some SERIOUS optimization done on Google's side before it's able to run this Graphic/Effect driven tablet UI.

I had to look that one up too. According to http://www.google.com/press/funfacts.html , it's actually named after Larry Page. Of course, that could just be some Google humor. I would guess that PageRank is named for the obvious reason, b

It's advertising. Admittedly, I don't have the numbers to back it up, but I would imagine that the economic impact of this advertising is worth more than the cost for Google to send a CR-48 to be blended.

Aren't these the same docs you can get with a free Apple developer account?

Even the Facebook comments on a geeky announcement like this make me question humanity. "Lol... what?" "May as well call this site HACKBOOK! IT'S ALL GARBAGE NOW!" "This is freaking scary coz pipol will be able to hack into any fb ccount th

Agreed. Whether I'm automatically opted-in or opted-out to the marketing checkbox on signup forms is usually my first indication to the validity of the company/service.

Because of the extreme consequences of failure, medicine is slow to innovate. The medicine we see 10 years from now will appear very similar to today's medicine, with survival rates from serious illness continuing to creep up. Hopefully, I

That would be nice for the power users, but opening the App Store protocol seems opposite to Apple's entire vision for their mobile iOS and OSX app stores. Apple doesn't water down their products with compromise and while that upsets a lot

I couldn't agree more. I recently started using Fedora and often had to dive into the depths of Linux to get simple things done/working. This is going to be unpopular, but the majority of open-source software is not near the polish needed

I guess the question is: Would Reddit have offered to run the Prop 19 ads for free even if Conde Nast hadn't told them not to run the ads at all? I would say no, so it seems that the reason that the ads are running for free is because of th

Am I the only one who has no problem with a parent company not wanting pro-marijuana ads running on their sites? They legitimately own Reddit, it seems rather childish that Reddit is "rebelling" by running the ads for free.

In the cases you mentioned, it was easy for the techie guy to recommend Google or Macs to friends or family because they were far better products at the time. I take recommendations I give to people very seriously, and I simply wouldn't rec

A lot of people that aren't tech-savy live-and-die by Consumer Reports reviews. They've been around forever, so are trusted by the "old-school" folks.

There was so much going on visually that by the time my eyes made it to the animated tour graphic, it was already on step 2. Being forced to move through an animation at your pace was uncomfortable, it should be manual.

In college I used to work summers as a technician at a large non-Disney amusement park, and I had a blast. Like many of the workers quoted in the article said, it truly was something new every day. Even though I mostly dealt with audio and
