I'm a huge fan of Bell's (and am currently missing it terribly), but to be fair I feel there are better breweries out there - granted, not many, but they do exist.

Is there a site somewhere that lists which registrars are owned by enom and/or Demand Media? I want to make sure I don't unwittingly use or recommend anything owned by these companies.

Does anyone know if there are enough compatible libraries out there to make using Python 3 in production viable yet? Last time I looked into it (about 6 months ago), it was a non-starter for me.

Here's the thing though: when the bank made a mistake, you had recourse. You actually had someone to complain to - you could go to a branch or otherwise deal with a human. With paypal, you have no recourse, except to hope your case gets vot

I take what this guy writes on statistics with a large grain of salt; despite the domain name the author is not an economist. He is an MD and it goes without saying that he's very smart and accomplished -- but not in the field of statistics

As a hiring manager, I can vouch for this. Just having a cover letter at all (whether in the email or as a separate document) is surprisingly unusual. Having one tailored to the position? Vanishingly rare. If the candidate describes how the

Let's say we buy into the Java Trap Hypothesis; the question then is: what's next? What do you choose if you're a corporation with large projects and large teams of mostly non-rockstar developers. For the sake of the argument let's assume t

I suppose this is feasible if Microsoft is looking to acquire Adobe's enterprise customer base - the PDF, document management, etc part of the company. Having Air/Flex/Flash might also be nice, but doesn't seem like a good fit for Microsoft

Answering my own question, I found this in the Advertsing Age: http://adage.com/article?article_id=146353 I don't think this is going to end well for Gap.

Anyone know what the business case for this change was? What was wrong with the old logo? I'm having a hard time understanding what the thinking was here.

Detroit's story of a working-class town that failed to evolve is depressingly familiar throughout the US in many small towns whose main industries have moved on - for example, the old railway towns. I feel these towns die because they lack

Good article, but I'm concerned the premises of the article have been skewed by misleading graphs. The initial graph of GDP to medical expenditure is reasonably convincing, the graphs later in the article much less so. I could be wrong abou

I strongly agree. There's a real opportunity here to create a truly open VM, one that is designed from the beginning to support functional languages. It would need a major corporate sponsor though, because building a new platform requires a

My experience is similar to yours, and your observations are absolutely spot on. I'm always a little suspicious of anyone who has the job title "Project Manager".

Excellent observations. I agree that a major strategic shift is required and that means thinking long and hard about their reliance on owning the Windows platform as their primary competitive advantage. If I were Microsoft, I would port .Ne

Good questions, but I would go a step further: a lot of clients do not have a good feel for what a web site might really do for them. An important part of the engagement is to act as a facilitator to help the client identify what their need

I feel the blame is very much misplaced; Google had nothing to do with the viability of "Cadio" name. It was inevitable that people would confuse it with "Cardio", whether Google auto-suggested it or not. That said, I do sympathy for the di

If I understand this blog post correctly, it seems to be suggesting that sovereign wealth funds would be potential investors for startups and that they would be ideal investors because they would not be seeking a short-term exit/liquidity e

I strongly agree. This is the correct answer to the problem. That and adding sales tax to the tagged price (i.e. don't add sales tax at the time of the transaction).

Pure link bait; the actual article does not say anything of the sort. The article is, in fact making the point Americans as a whole no longer "make things", and are avoiding getting their hands dirty.I'm not sure if the premise is true - it

I was/am in the preliminary stages of researching and testing a product for dealing clothing fit issues. In the course of this, I learned far more about clothing sizing than any sane person should know. I can tell you that vanity sizing is

Large brands like Levi's generally use several contractors, and the quality (and therefore fit tolerance) inevitably varies from contractor to contractor. Chances are that was a bad batch and/or you were shopping in an outlet mall (where th

This product does exist. See: myshape.com If anyone wants to discuss this product in depth, drop me a line. This is a product space I have been eying for some time and have done considerable research and experimentation on the topic.

Based on the presentation - and the evidence is pretty compelling - it seems the manpower is there; it's just that the core developers don't want it.

I'm so glad this presentation is getting attention. The presentation really nails it, and I can only imagine the well-deserved awkward moments it caused a few people. All the issues are big, but those that touch on the nature of the closed

I'm thinking Rackspace might well have been in the right on this one. If the customer was in fact phishing, Rackspace was well within their rights to shut down the account. It's really up to the application creator to prevent that abuse. Th

Hey, not before they come to Utah first! Kidding aside, I used to live one block away from a Trader Joe's and am sort of over them now. It can be a frustrating place to shop when you just want 'regular stuff', rather than paying the markup

I can't believe this story got so few votes. It's great story of the ups and downs an entrepreneur went through to bring his product to the market. Worth the read.

I feel the main problem with extensions is that the "application" level of abstraction doesn't work very well in practice. It was an ambitious idea, but there are too many dependencies for that to be feasible. That said, I still like Django

To me, the single biggest fault -- one that very nearly made me just get up and go the the nearest Apple store, right then and there -- is the fact that Windows STILL will force a reboot of your machine while unattended (I did figure out ho
