For all these 'bubble' cities (Vancouver, S.F., Seattle, London, ...), I wonder if the bubble ever pops? Are there examples of the prices/avg. income getting so far out of whack that things collapse? http://www.eco

While I completely agree, since it will never happen, why not strip javascript out of a browser (FF?), come up with a new catchy name, and market it as a safe browser. Just need a catchy name..., hmm, maybe Lynx? ;

Great article. Funny and knowledgeable. I know it's impossible but many of the comments here make it look like they didn't read the article. I guess if we followed 'best practices' we would be good.

Couldn't hard copies be outsourced to No Starch if a set amount was donated? I'd much rather buy a book - and would make a higher/set donation.

This point needs to be stressed more. Not so much that it is 'open' but that you can write an app and it will run everywhere: Mobile, WEB and DESKTOP. If there are good solutions for this now I am unaware of them. Desktop is still

From a non-expert, but avid observer, this looks like where things are going. I support Mozilla, but wonder if this is a Hail-Mary pass, with something like Dart and Web components being the 'engineered' approach. At this stage, if asm.js i

I would like to see the adoption, if not formally at least informally, of a javascript ux toolkit. This toolkit would work across platforms - mobile, web, desktop. Ideally it would be modeled on qt. Maybe using dojo/Maqetta if this is possi
