I see Netflix having a problem on two fronts. The DVD side in having to deal with the USPS crisis and the streaming sides lack of good content while having to pay too much to fix it. The postal service is itself trying to shut down Saturday

And this is the truth. No matter how much people want it to be the HTML5/JS/CSS3 combination is not on the same level as Flash right now. Plugins are a pain but it feels like we are moving sideways and not up. I use to be a web standards fa

Exactly. I worked for the USPS for a short time 13 years ago & my dad still does. A lot of the postal workers want to get rid of this clause as well. They realize that it is a giant albatross hanging over their necks and they are willin

This has been the main reason why I have not totally committed to Chrome. While I do not usually have 100 tabs open there are times when I do have 30 - 40 open. In Firefox the browser slows down but not horribly so. In Chrome the browser i

I use Windows 7 and I am happy with it. There are a lot of people in tech who are happy with it. I have switched platforms several times over the years but I always end up back at Windows. People who use Windows are only using it because th

I have an Android phone and I have never had any problems with Flash. And I am far from a Flash cheerleader. It seems that most of the Flash hatred comes from Linux and Mac users. If it sucks on their platforms then I can truly understand t

wow, it is projects like this that get the imagination going and makes you feel bad for putting off a problem set that might have frustrated you at the time.

I spent almost a year at that time watching my girlfriend trying to decide which Windows Mobile phone she wanted. Might have been 2006 or 2007 but Windows Mobile for smart phone purchasers were very popular.

Code completion in Eclipse was a killer for me as well. I switched back to Netbeans for Android development (used it for php and python before) and was very happy. The only reason I switched to Eclipse in the first place was because all of

It was hard for me to take the article seriously after the jab about rappers dying for marketing. Did companies capitalize off of rappers and their entourages being stupid, yes. But to suggest what happened was strictly based on marketing t

This is definitely a service that I have no problem paying for. Whenever people say to me that people will not pay for online services and you have to use ads, I use Dropbox and Netflix as an example now that Netflix's streaming service has

Facebook marketing had nothing to do with those numbers. There were thousands of people waiting for the release of the song due to a tweet by Kanye earlier in the week. When the song was released most of those people went to their favorite

The only tech event that I have been to since I've lived in NYC is the Techcrunch Disrupt that just recently happened. I had fun but I am still adjusting to the world of tech. I was a hip hop DJ & club security guard in a former life an

I totally agree with you. I'm the farthest thing from an Apple fan boy and have a lot of problems with their policies but it's obvious that Jobs has a vision. Instead of this guy admitting that he messed up, he's making it look like Jobs i

And that is my main problem with the story. I do not have a dog in the fight since I have a feeling that the whole story has yet to be told. But if this was anyone else cell phone, there would be no cops kicking down doors.

How is it insulting? It just references past ties. Would someone with an Irish heritage be insulted by being called Irish American? I don't care if someone calls me Black or African American or even Black American. If you have a preference,

I try not to use the word but it slips occasionally. And to be honest, the word in itself does not offend me, only how it is used. Now for the big but...about ten years ago I was at the mall. I saw a white kid and black kid hanging out toge

This is not the only time that the music business has played this game, more specifically the RIAA. From 1997-2004 I worked a lot in the world of Hip Hop on a regional scale. I did security for clubs and artist and I was a DJ. Before file s

I can see both sides of this issue. My parents have no problem with the computers for basic uses. My mom needs help more than my dad but if you tell her once, then she is ok. On the other hand, one time about 10 years ago, I used a friends

I agree with what you said but a quick clarification. He was already known as 50 Cent before he met Eminem. He took the name from a famous "stick up" kid in NY from the past. He made an album on Columbia before he met Em but was dropped whe

I can listen to music but it can't have any lyrics that I can concentrate on. It has to be electronic or jazz, something that puts me in a certain mood but I can still kep my concentration intact.

Even though that particular story is true, don't link to mediatakout as a source. That site has made an art form of lying. Always check somewhere else first.

When I was around 13 years old I was interested in electronics, reading popular science, and listening to Run DMC and any other hip hop I could get my hands on. I really didn't see that many black inventors or scientist in the news or on TV
