   I don't know how true this is. I am in Canada, so I understand it likely isn't exactly the same. PayPal says it should take 6-8 days for a money transfer. In my experience, I have found it takes 6-8 days before I see it withdrawn from my ba

   Haven't you always been able to see all 140-characters on the web? It kind of seems that most people don't know that the 140-character limit is put in place by SMS message length - not Twitter. The only way they would be able to bi-pass thi

   It seems like many people have problems with their french presses. When I first got my french press, it tasted like any coffee I had ever had from Starbucks. Recently, things have started to take a turn for the better - I can make a damn de

   Anyone remember that article about how (some ridiculously small amount of time) affected google and made them lose money?

   I actually was thinking the same thing when I scanned over the comments for this article. One reader wrote something similar to, "it seems like you fell for every trap the interviewer put out". What trap? Thinking before speaking? Someone w

    Scrolling 2.0 made me think of how convenient it would be to have Exposé ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expos%C3%A9_(Mac_OS_X) ) for tabs, allowing you to see the face of all open tabs and being able to click to bring them to the front. I r

    Between this, map/reduce and everything else NYT has been doing the last year or so, it is easy to see who will survive when the newspaper industry comes crumbling down.

    That Rails video was the first thing that came to mind when I read the title. Actually, that screencast was exactly what stopped me from indulging in Rails the first time I came across it. I don't find 'here is how you scaffold an entire ap

    I haven't gotten a chance to play around yet, but so far it seems like a good idea. One thing that I would suggest is that the left hand side of the main page is a little 'overwhelming'. Compared to the other two ('Share', 'Collaborate'), i

    I've began reading this book to patch any holes in my knowledge of ruby. My only suggestion so far is that a new typeface for the code excerpts is needed. Perhaps not necessarily courier (after reading his post on reddit) but ANY other font
