Same experience here, although I wouldn't laud flash's performance on Windows either. Silverlight runs better than flash most of the time, and Silverlight is pretty terrible.

I've lost count of the number of times Zombies came up in our Philosophy of Mind classes. The classic question was always "if consciousness can be entirely reduced to physical phenomena, then isn't the only difference between a zombie and a

I'm not familiar with the arguments for and against a salary-cap in baseball, but in the NHL (my primary sport) it has done a great job of making the teams relatively even. There's no equivalent to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NHL - the

I agree with this, thank you. Respectfully disagree with others. If we didn't fight it, we'd have the same cultural distinctions as to what is and is not acceptable.

True, but even when you have a disease, you start by treating the symptoms to ease the discomfort. I can only imagine how uncomfortable women at these conferences (what few there are) must be.

As opposed to the blatantly sexist, misogynistic viewpoint represented by the other pictures? Yes, absolutely and unequivocally. I do see your point, and the tech community could learn a little about marketing themselves, but it doesn't exc

Amazing how much thought goes into this now, when many of the most iconic brands are last names (Smuckers, Heinz, Disney) or names that were not chosen for ANY branding reason (Google). It seems that a lot of this article really applies bes

For shame, for shame - forget where it's held, this kind of action reflects on the industry as a whole. Couldn't agree with this article more. The lack of female talent in this industry is a real shame, and excludes a perspective that could

Gotta agree. I prefer Vista to XP. Maybe I'm in the minority, but since the latest service pack, it seems rock solid. Of course, I also know how to remove malware or avoid it in the first place, and how to actually uninstall programs/clean

Thanks for posting this. Glad to pick this up and support the designers and the model.

So Time magazine predicted youtube... Took me a couple minutes to realize that the article assumes that all of this would essentially happen with and through the Cable companies and that a TV-like interface would be a dominant part of it. A

Coming from the marketing world, this is all too true. Marketers think that everyone cares as much about fads as they do, so they think that when they spew about them everyone knows what the hell they mean.

What a shame - the 6 year old seems to have an understanding of the difference between a right action and a right law, which is amazing in a child of his age - "it seems the law is what is wrong, not me." This is such a contrast to the idio

Well I think calling it the "MyTouch 3G with Google" is the best T-Mobile can do. I bet most of the people who are shopping for a phone don't even know what android is. They know there is iphone, blackberry, (maybe) palm, WinMo, and now the

Strange how this is different for everyone. I'm the opposite, for example.

Also interested in hearing people's thoughts on this, as a "demand side" guy who asks programmers to do stuff. My advice, FWIW, is that talking to and really trying to understand the problems faced by the engineers/developers working for yo

Agree totally on 3 and 6. Not a coder, no advice on the others, but I zone out and work for 3-5 hour stretches when I come to work prepared and put on some music I'm familiar with and like (lyrical or otherwise). Fell into that pattern in c

Yes, especially since traffic on the web is not zero-sum. I can visit both, or neither, and a visit to one doesn't mean I didn't go to the other. Although I think that the data supports the general trend in people looking to social media fo

Worth noting that while you can have content below the fold and signal to users to find it, that's not true with branding and identity features - those should be prominent and above the fold. Further, as a commenter on the article pointed o

True but I think the article's point was that you could maintain the same professor-student ratio and increase class sizes if you have the billlions that Harvard had. Instead they spent the money to make them seem more prestigious.

Maybe, but shouldn't they be valuable because it's graduates have proven themselves to be well educated and well balanced people? Should education be valuable because there is so little of it?

I just left a company (College, actually) with this problem. They had no idea what a great website would cost, so they constantly balked at the prices. Unfortunately, they have a very poor website (as does most of higher education) due to t

While I find this interesting, I'm not sure it applies to the lion's share of people, especially here on HN. Maximizing your opportunities is a great principle, and for people working in startups and especially in marketing/sales positions,
