I don't think that would be as effective as directly marketing an event at a group of people. A group of people who might feel that traditional events in that field were just not welcoming. In fact, I think you'd just end up with a pretty n

On a more serious note, I think its a good idea to hold outreach events for getting minorities working on your platform or industry. There arent many women in tech, trying to do something to increase the number is a good thing. A man whinin

"We are seeking to create an attitude-free, newbie-safe and mama- friendly tech event to encourage women to join the Ruby on Rails community." Wot no rockstar and porn-imagery fueled hijinx? That's no Rails conference.

The videos of the speech I found on YouTube seem to be edited and missing some of the quotes mentioned in the article. You can see the full speech (approx. 23 minutes long) here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/15/michael-jordan-hall

Well imagine if MS did hold an auction and invited parties interested in promoting Linux. What would the reaction have been like? I can imagine lots of "MS screws Linux via extortion 'auction' process" stories flying around on the internet

I find the Khan Academy videos to be pretty helpful. They start with the absolute basics and go on up. http://www.khanacademy.org/

I was listening to an interesting interview with Dustin Nguyen, a comics artist yesterday. He had a background in CAD work, and for a long time had a pet project of creating locations for scenes in a CAD package. The idea being he and his c

No, my comments were aimed at the operators, not Nokia. Nokia is stuck in the hard place where they understand the need and want to innovate, but their biggest direct customers (the operators) really dont want them to.

Microsoft (along with lots of other companies) have put together lots of great concept videos in the past. I've seen amazing concept videos from MS, Sony and Orange (UK mobile operator company) over the last 10 years. Making a concept video

Ah Nokia, stuck between a rock and a hard place. "Nokia have tried several ways to own the customer over the years and operators have had to say no." I really wish these guys would wake up and realise you dont ever "own" your customers. Cus

I still think some people will pay for quality news reporting. Maybe not the crap that seems to pass for journalism in a lot of publications these days. If you provide people with well-researched information, give them access to people/plac

Some newspapers charge for some (most) of their online content. The Financial Times is the one that springs to mind. If the newspapers need to make money from their content, they should charge for it. They don't need anyone to 'save them',

This could be awesome if it takes off. I've always thought the biggest barrier to desktop app adoption vs webapp adoption is the problem of finding and deploying apps. If this takes off we could witness a rejuvenation in the market for desk

IE6 isn't going anywhere anytime soon - at least in the corporate space. There are a large number of crappily written (but essential) intranet applications tied to IE6. As Google tries to push Gmail out to enterprise customers, its finding

Sounds more like Techcrunch are exacting their 'revenge' for Uncov and giving these guys a kicking as they launch. Couldn't have seen that one coming... I've used pressflip.com a little bit, but I think their (and any other search engine's)

The quality (and curriculum) of comp sci courses in the UK varies dramatically. I know of Comp Sci graduates who don't know how to program. I also know of Comp Sci courses that don't expose the students to anything like client engagement or
