If you go to a web site and there is paid advertising on the web site, do you consider the web site spam? You opted in to the web site by going to it and you can always not go back. You opted in to the newsletter by subscribing and can alwa

This is really a step backwards for most users. Before users had everything automatically backed up by the cloud. Now they would have to have a more complex on boarding process where they will probably skip some advanced technical option th

Java IDEs are better at this. JavaScript...well I saw NetBeans do it once and was amazed. Ruby...well it's impossible to do correctly as other posters have mentioned.

It wasn't overblown. You should see some of the systems large businesses use. Marriott still uses green screen terminals, for example, others use mainframes. ATMs often run archaic versions of Windows CE. If all air carriers shutdown b

Much like how high enough oil prices mean processing oil shale and digging deeper/sideways start to make economic sense, which then prevents further price rise.

Wonder if sign in tokens are still limited. There are so many horror stories about popular hitting the user limit and being unable to grow any more. Don't really trust Twitter enough to invest the time to read to find out after they&#x

Land at SFO. Get on the BART subway. That's it. You are done, it goes right from SFO to the center of the city. Some people are too lazy to walk around the circle of the airport and use the AirBART train to get to the BART stop at the

And they were the first to ban and harass the companies too. Kind of silly they are trying to sound friendly now when other places have always just let them be.

Romantic story telling for a line graph, but really it is more like the profession of computer operators, originally drawn from the largely female secretary pool, disappeared as computers evolved from big buildings where you submitted decks

Unfortunate, Google has a reputation for killing acquisitions. Let's hope the founders manage to escape and recreate their product after, like Dodgeball vs. Foursquare.

I really despise opening Google Maps nowadays on my phone. There have been so many updates that cripple it and make it worse. Really hope someone comes along and puts a good replacement out. Recently it won't even show results on the m

Wouldn't this be illegal? He wants to buy apartment buildings, rent below cost, and refuse to rent to people with tech jobs. The government is allowed to do this sort of thing as long as they use income and not job type to determine it

Also worth clearing your cookies and logging out. I've seen Delta offer me better prices after clearing cookies. I've seen Marriott offer me better prices after logging out (amusingly I'm a platinum rewards member, but get be

Google does this constantly too. I've been to several Google Glass events where the wall outlets were all hidden or taped down. Sometimes there is only one in the entire room an event is going on in like the GDK Sneak Preview and I&#x2

This has happened to me on Android and I've hated every uninvited notification they've sent me about people I don't follow and don't care about. Just don't do it Twitter.

It isn't just apprentices, they have two different types of colleges. One is primarily about job training, the other is what we have in the US. Yes, there are a few minor technical schools in the US, but it is nothing like Germany.

This is a common Kickstarter scam. Take a Chinese product off alibaba, maybe tweak the software, brand it, and sell it on kickstarter. It has happened time and time again for things like Android watches, Bluetooth low energy devices, almost

Google has been working hard to break compatibility in a lot of places, like XMPP and calendars. They just don't care about interop and want to lock people in. Pretty sad coming from a company that made fun of Microsoft on stage at Goo

The article is completely wrong about US Navy ships having fusion reactors. They have fission reactors, not fusion. I wonder if they are even reporting the breakthrough right since they clearly don't know the difference. For all we kno

Really distasteful slogan. I think every engineer who has worked in corp. America is used to management asking for mutually exclusive things due to ignorance.
