I haven't used browserify so I may be wrong, but because browserify is not AMD compatible and depends on a build step, the advantage of RequireJS appears to be slightly faster/simpler (or just different) development experience. It looks l

I wonder how much money they burned to get that domain name. Overall, this seems to be a production that feels much glossier and slicker than other technology "debuts". Is this the new way to launch a technology? Razzle and dazzle the progr

Most of your issues are addressed by the Base Class Library (BCL), which is provided by the runtime itself. You cannot use C# without the BCL, so why evaluate it without the BCL? How do the following sit with you? - Events, i.e. the observe

It all depends on how you look at the overall system Google has created. If one considers the entirety of Google+ to be a mere component of Google Search (like the now-extinct Friends section of Netflix was), then one can better reconcile t
