My first *nix was Microsoft Xenix on a TRS-80 / Tandy 6000. I think we had 6 terminals attached to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80#Model_16.2C_Model_16B.2C...

I know he considers Android's .X releases major, but in case you don't: iOS 4.X: 89.73 % Android 2.X: 87.4% Of course, it's hardly the fault of the Android users. If it wasn't for cyanogen and a couple hours of work I wouldn't even be on 2.

At a glance, I like it. Hard to compete with Traineo and SparkPeople though. Maybe if you carved off different niches of weight loss with sub-micro sites, with things like "losing the baby weight" or "people over 400 pounds" etc. You might

I shouldn't even attempt to recap the story, but it's really interesting to look at how Bezos selected books. He wanted something with a lot of unique products/SKUs that was cheap enough for people to try buying online for the first time. B

I've thought that since Borders originally partnered with Amazon. But that would give Amazon a local presence and eliminate their advantage of not having to collect sales tax. If the "internet sales tax" was ever imposed, brick-and-mortar A

Borders regularly emails out coupons for 33% off of a single item. That brings their price closer to Amazon. http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/20110111sa33.html?cmpid=SL_...

As a book lover, I'm happy in either store, but Borders has always been my preference. They always seemed to carry more titles and somehow feel to me like less of a big corporate store. (I'm a little biased, having spent quite a bit of time

For the most part I like the Flickr UI. It takes a bit to understand photostreams, sets, collections, and group pools, and the online organizer is a little different. But for the most part it's efficient and is broken a lot less of the time

I've paid for a Flickr pro account for a few years now. Ironically, I first got on Flickr when Yahoo Photos shut down and they forcefully migrated me to Flickr. But I'm letting my pro account expire this month. I've been using Flickr for 2

Am I using a different Google than him? I type in "how to wire an outlet" and all the top results look useful. Sure there are some ads embedded on the pages and the top hit is about.com with a 10-page slideshow, but every hit looks like it

Barely related, but at what point does Zynga ask themselves why they need Facebook?

I don't think I've ever had this happen, but my outbound texts on Sprint haven't worked for a week ("invalid number of digits") so I gave up and used Google Voice for texts instead, which is pretty nice as a work-around.

I generally prefer Borders to Barnes-and-Noble because they always seemed to stock more titles. But I almost never buy anything at either of them without one of their 30-50% off coupons, which brings them close to Amazon's price. I can't fi

Ok, let me dig. It's been a while and I'm not a lawyer. Looking at the actual indictment, I think he was charged with just violating Section 1030 (a)(5)(A)(i) of the U.S. Code. I don't think the other two sections mentioned are separate cha

41 months seems exceptionally high given that it was discovered before execution. It would take me an hour to dig it all up, but there are federal sentencing guidelines based on the dollar amount of damages. I don't think they take potentia

This is the first year I've really used the real released Windows 7 - on my new SSD-loaded work laptop and on my personal netbook. It's amazing to see Windows more or less work and do what I want it to do most of the time. GPU-accelerated V

I'd skip iPhone and just focus on Android, mostly to save time. Browse around the iPhone app store though and find some corny apps like a fake fingerprint reader. "Steal" that idea and build an Android equivalent with mobile ads. After your

I did almost exactly that and I've still been bitten by this. I had a weak password like 99beers that I've used for many years for the 90% of sites that don't matter. I started to transition to something like adding the first letter of the

Me too. So far today I've been locked out of GMail, LinkedIn and Twitter. I thought it might be due to failed login attempts with a bad password, but it sounds like it's all just proactive lockouts based on being in the file.
