I would have to second the developer problem. You can have a perfect cross platform UI toolkit, but if the developer doesn't take effort to make it fit everywhere it becomes off. A simple example was message box's. Qt has the ability for

"$700 million worth of charges" Visa only gets 2-5% of the charge. Lets assume on the high end at 5% we are talking about only 35 million in income. Even doubling that for the second week we get 70 million (before costs). How is that the

I would further argue that #10 is wrong. He compares commits to a project you own to contributing to a project you don't own. If you don't have commit access to a svn server you are for the most part out of luck. Emailing the patch to

Unlike most filesystems, the windows filesystem doesn't allow you to overwrite files that are open. To be 100% sure that you can install all your files everyone checks the box that says require a reboot and install on startup when the file

Why would a so called "10X" person work 70+ hours? If you think a 10X person is someone who will live at the office you believe in working harder, not smarter and the other office that hires the guy that works 20hours, but is actually a 10

While I don't have magnetic implants, I have been wearing a magnetic ring the last few months. Much less intense, but something that is easily reversible. Finding fields has been interesting and when I do run across them I do stop in my t

Of course on all of their plans they limit your speed. The top speed at over $200 is only 300/65Mbps Edit: and that is only for the connect, not the TV service. And the router they give you isn't very good and same goes for the 'cable/tv

Created is a very strong word to toss around especially in this context. Perhaps you were only referring to the trademark WebKit which Apple did register (but they did offered to have the community manage it at the start if I recall). Web

Nonless you are still wrong to say that "Apple created WebKit" as the WebKit source code was a fork from the KTHML source code.

Safari for Windows came out in summer of 2007, Google Chrome came out in September of 2008. Granted Chrome development started in 2006ish which was probably around the time Safari for Windows started. By the time Safari for windows was re

My impression was that one of the primary drive of having Safari on Windows back in the day was to get more users exposed to WebKit and to gives developers on windows a way to test there sites. With Google Chrome on mac/windows/linux that

It would be interesting if you could hook up with a site like redfin or whatnot to embed that on their site so when you are looking at a house it automatically fills in all the data it knows about.

disclaimer: I am part of the WebKit team at RIM. RIM does seem to have a marketing problem as it seems most Blackberry users have only ever used the old built in house Java based browser. This is due to the fact that WebKit has only been o

I wonder if this actions is a result of a need to diversify just in case Windows declines much more rapidly than expected? Hedging their bets if you will.

100% agree. So many blogs and books talk about how X is better than Y, or how Z is bad, but it is usually just a gut feeling with very little data to back it up. This book on the other hand is chock full of actual data on many topics that
