Last weekend some friends and I participated in a hackathon. Our app was primarily mobile, with some web. The web guys had a great looking product done, along with our backend, in about 10 hours. The android guys had an okay looking app

Seems to me that Google won the 7" race to the bottom, I wonder if we'll see a 10" race to the bottom.

After reading that post, I feel like I'm doing it wrong. I figured I'd learn a ton taking the hardest programming courses I could find, and yet I found it striking that you're spending your time in school learning about making a business. I

While I agree that both Facebook and Google have those respective problems, I think social is an area where user base is not easily portable. It would be tough to convert all the moms and dads to switch from Facebook to another platform...

I do use FF every once in a few days, I just find its start up time irritating (the difference is on the order of seconds). I will say that it definitely has improved though, and I do like the way FF manages tabs over Chrome, but Chrome ju

The post mentioned that the scanners are one of 20 layers of security and mentions Behavioral detection, Explosive Detection Canines, Federal Air Marshall etc as some of the other "layers" of security. I wanted to see what these 20 layers
