Seriously? Your GF needed Facebook to reunite with her mother? As stereotypical as I may sound, but she needs to get her life back and socialize beyond Facebook. It's simply absurd.

Google Wave was a great idea but making it standalone application was the mistake, IMO. I am pretty sure the ideas Google Wave generated will be implemented on the right application someday. Facebook might be the platform for Lars to implem

I've been using Windows 7 since its RC release, well over a year now. I use OSX, too. Windows 7 has been amazing, MS really got it right this time, after the Vista disaster. Windows 7 rocks!

This will probably create too much traffic on 'facetime server' or whatever apple has. Degradation on quality of video is what I expect if Facelette picks up popularity.

Yes, I get your point, but if you take an example of CNN, they are not going to have a link to disable FB Connect.

You still need to go to Chrome extension website right? It's not that when you go to a website that has FB connect, the Chrome asks if you want to block it or not. That would be effective though.

I know quite a few non-technical person who use Chrome. I cannot guarantee that they know how to install an extension though. Most of the non-tech people uses internet primarily for FaceBook and they shouldn't be concerned when they see the

It's a blessing for people like me who see the 'you are not authorized to visit this site and will be reported' kind of message on your office computer.

I prefer browser extension. Its much easier for general public and you don't need to restart the browser, now that's convenient.

It is true that you can express yourself better through email than in phone. The benefit of having something documented helps a lot in the future. I think its okay to tell people that your preferred method of communication is email.

I agree, but the author says they build for 'tech' companies and they want the product out the door fast. In that case, I would care less about IE when the market is around 2%. IMO you can gracefully decrease your support for IE when the tr

I am sorry if I was not clear enough, but my interpretation of other domains was music players, tablets,etc. I agree Sharepoint and SQL Server are huge hits and they are doing good in corporate applications.

Microsoft in the recent decade, has tried to indulge itself on different domains of IT. Obviously, it has failed on all of them, as stated by the author of this article. IMO, on contrary to the author, MS should stick to desktop/laptop Oper

With more and more people using touch-screens even for non-mobile sites, it is a bad decision to store information on hover. Personally, I never liked hover. I think it is one of the most abused functionality. I agree with the author that i

There is a high probability that you wouldn't have had diabetes in the first place. You would be living a very healthy life and more physical activities and oh yes, healthier non-GM foods. Definitely rich and healthy.

I haven't tried it but can you upgrade those browsers without administrative rights? I am assuming you can't do it on corporate settings.

Fate as in, if Mozilla came up with a Windows-killer OS and all the Windows user moved to the new Mozilla OS. Than people will be stuck with FF 3.6, even after 10 years from now.

Firefox and Chrome would have the same fate, if they are as widely used as Windows/IE and comes default with an OS(Windows killer), like IE.

This will always be a problem. The corporates and most of the business will always use whatever comes with their OS, for a simple reason that they don't have administrative rights to upgrade their browser, or simply because its just an extr

There has been increasing use of url shorteners by spammers. The problem is you don't know which domain you're heading to. My mantra: treat all short urls as spam. Only issue is with the CMS urls. I think it should be made 'best practice' r

I wonder why you even need an ATM there. I mean, you are very limited to what you spend on and most funding comes from corporates and projects. I guess, you don't even need an ATM card, you pretty much know who visits the ATM. duh!
