It's not nostalgia for anything, as the show's never been to my taste. What I'm saying is the show's ratings are quite literally the worst they've ever been. Part of that is the general decline of linear tv and part

It’s funny how such an unfunny show works to promote and train a steady flow of talent. I wonder what will become the next mainstream comedy breeding ground after Lorne calls it quits. Given the show’s ratings (and relevance) decline since

Assuming this pooch will have cellular connectivity. How does one sniff its traffic short of getting one’s hands on a StingRay? Because I would not trust this thing as far as I could throw it.

You cannot deny the vast positive competitive influence Apple has had on personal computing over the last 25 years. They take a pass at improving the experience of whatever it is, and everyone significantly ups their game thereafter. You do

I'd be curious to see a proper signal map for this service. I've been the proud owner of a Casio Oceanus for a little over a year now. I can count on one hand the number of times the watch has synchronized via radio.

> Religion is older than democracy and will likely outlive it Hard to say. I think religious indoctrination is harder to maintain over time in the face of technology. Eventually it will run out of shadow and won’t have enough compelling

It's been quite a while, but CNET has never been the same since CBS acquired them in 2008. They drove the site to become SEO fodder, almost like a ZergNet for tech. And their most recent acquirer is diluting whatever integrity remains

I think we make selective religious accommodations and exemptions for no good reason. Why is one person’s fiction more deserving or more valid than another? Followers of CotFSM and Scientology have as much of a claim on special treatment a

You could ask the same of enterprises using Salesforce, AWS, or SAP. At a certain scale, it’s just not feasible to have the org consumed by technology. It’s much easier to solve problems by throwing money at vendors. Arguing otherwise is a

I appreciate this sound engineer’s preservation work, but cannot stand the intrusion of a Wilhelm scream. What was once a cute wink towards filmmakers and cinephiles is now an obnoxiously overused disruption to the flow of the film. You mig

The market asked for these developers, and it got them. Their inexperience is not a symptom of a decided ineptitude or nonchalance towards CS fundamentals. It’s a case of getting what’s required for a job (web apps and crud backends) and no

That’s just it: computing is ordinary and in most cases a commodity. Same as petroleum, wheat, and gold. When business normalizes around a commodity, all the excitement, novelty, and wonder is lost. Consumers demand it, suppliers crank it o
