This is the perfect illustration of how consumers are at the very tail end of the market. So many decisions have been made before consumers "vote with their dollars/feet" that they usually have little "choice." I put choice in quotes becaus

Really awesome. What would be really cool to see is a demo and example code of an app that has authentication, and user-level permissions on the data. These "everyone in the world can update a global list" demos are getting pretty tiring.

Speaking as someone who was recently a juror on a trial, I can firmly say that the premise of this article is correct. The courts in this country are far, far, far too slow to deal with a mass number of trials. The system would simply colla

What does "size of your inbox" mean? I have over 22K messages in my inbox, does that mean I am too busy? I don't use my inbox as a "to do list," so I really don't care how many messages are in it. But, apparently, there are a lot of people

$400 may have been the actual high price, but if someone had purchased one share in '97 for $10, when it was $400 share, that person would have $1600 worth of Apple stock. This is due to the fact that the stock has split twice since he came

Yes, that is partially true. However, the major reason is safety and liability. I have spent quite a bit of time overseas, and jumping in some random car of questionable roadworthiness, with an equally questionable driver, is not really som

WebObjects was in its prime in 2005, and ran circles around everything out there (Java or not). Even in it's completely unsupported (by Apple) state today, it probably still runs circles around most of the frameworks.
