   Just out of curiosity, why is Facebook doing this? I'm unfortunately not very knowledgeable on the field of IPOs, but aren't IPOs usually just needed to raise money? I always thought Facebook is in a position where it does not need to raise

   looks like it has a lot of similarities (philosophically) with Google's Closure Library: http://code.google.com/closure/library/ The latter's compability with the advanced mode of the closure compiler make it more appealing to me though.

   I always wondered, is it actually possible for us to ever assume that we can achieve better unemployment rates or is there a practical minimum which we can never get below again. If you think about it, in a world without technology, the mon

    "It also gives anyone the ability to distribute an iBook outside the iBookstore." That is exactly what the author complains about, you cannot distribute an iBook outside the store: "if your Work is provided for a fee (including as part of a

    The author is not saying that apple does not deserve a cut. He is noting that it is questionable whether Apple should be allowed to restrict the distribution channel

    I think the important thing to note is that the author is not complaining that Apple wants a cut. The author is complaining that you have to do it through the App Store. And in that regard, I do agree that this case is unprecedented, that a

    Conversely, people could attest the same thing for Zurb. I have used both and I like Foundation a lot better. Haven't tried tb 2.0 yet which apparently has the responsive grid which is the main feature of foundation

    Very interesting concept. However, I believe it is sort of misleading, because most users would except a social button to not change the current window, but rather just the state of the button itself. Also, there doesnt seem to be a way to
