Well either Google and Mozilla are knowingly shipping insecure code or Microsoft is, to some degree, wrong. Given the history of the organisations in question I'm going to assume Microsoft wrong or not telling the whole story until we hear

Anyone know how this compares or differs to Reia, another attempt at Ruby-like syntax on Erlang?

Given how often this happens with Twitter, Facebook and ever other Corp-owned namespace the more I appreciate the clear ownership status afforded by DNS, despite it's many flaws. It's also why I put my domain on my business card but not my

If you like his stuff take a look at Vitsoe.com, it's the shelving system he developed. Beautiful, functional, designed to last forever. Amazing example of what industrial design can be. The philosophy of the product permeates everything th

Compared to native apps it's a poor experience. Awkward, clunky and unresponsive. If anything I think this strengthens Apple's hand rather than weakening it.

Given there is an absolutely finite number of bitcoins doesn't this mean that given enough losses over time we will in fact run out of bitcoins with no mechanism (by design) to replace the supply, adding further deflationary pressure? Given

I'm sorry but you have no idea what you're talking about. London's stuffed to the gills with media companies doing interesting work. This article exists because it's accepted orthodoxy that London is the capital of tech and media in Europe.

There's a big difference between a VC round and the open market. The markets are often not driven by anything even related to the companies whose valuations fluctuate wildly by billions of dollars in under a second. They don't open to you (

Am I the only one who feels that if I'd put in the blood, sweat and tears to build a company to the point where it could be IPO'd I'd be more likely to gouge my eye out with a rusty spoon that open it to the sharks, sociopaths, speculators

Given HTML5 Audio it makes you wonder whether a Flash requirement isn't partially a FU to Apple.

Awesome! Weinre http://pmuellr.github.com/weinre/ provides similar but more limited functionality and has saved me in so many mobile-specific WTFs I've lost track.

So if this is an unstable, unregulated market that shouldn't be used for anything more serious than pizza at what point is that going to change? What magical thing is going effect to change? And if that thing doesn't exist, what is this apa

Why not? If the crypto is bulletproof and the theory is sound shouldn't it be the ultimate place to keep your money?

I'd like to see some of the many bitcoin evangalists about the place convert their life savings, serious cash, into BitCoins and keep it that way. Talk is cheap, particularly when it's abstract economic theory. Then I might think it's got s

I feel like I'm repeating myself daily at the moment. If you're not paying for it, you shouldn't expect anything . If people paid for the services they used, they'd have recourse and the interests of the provider and the consumer would be

So it's a metadata visualisation tool. Interesting but in no way groundbreaking. The problem isn't visualising metadata, that's easy. The problem is automating the creation of metadata.

Square is awesome but I wish someone would do what it takes to kick the shit out of the broken mess that is the credit card system instead of attempting to fix some of the problems at the edge. Admittedly this is in the Seriously Hard categ

You're not alone, every time I do this I feel like I'm going wrong somewhere. I know it's avoidable via binding/currying/proxying but often those solutions end up looking uglier and are harder to follow.

To a large degree that's what Ender.js is trying to do. Whether it'll succeed or not remains to be seen.

The problem isn't the existence of middle men, it's when oligopolies form that can bully producers and consumers alike and in the process stifle innovation and creativity.

Say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss. Amazon, Apple et al are becoming new middle men of the digital marketplace. Want to sell content online? If you want mass market exposure we'll have 30-70% of the revenue from the sweat of yo
