   I could be mistaken, but it "unschooling" seems to be a divergence from the typical "homoschooling" approach. Specifically, with regards to having children discover and learn through experience as opposed to the more st

   I think another key factor is genre. Maintaining a large collection of technical books takes up a lot of space and many of the books become outdated quickly. Ebooks have the advantage of being "upgraded" at a lower price. Howeve

   I agree. At it's PHP is just a template language. There are many great PHP MVC framworks that have evolved over the years to incorporate many "best practices". The choice should be up to the developer depending on the proj

   I think frameworks such as Laravel and Symphony go a long way towards addressing a lot of these concerns. Although things such as global functions and naming persist, PHP offers easy deployment for new developers and is available on almost

   Good point about the licensing models. That is a very big difference as well.

   From my quick review, Ionic is a framework for building mobile applications using web standard technologies (HTML5/JS/CSS). You then build your application using PhoneGap -- which builds a native mobile application wrapped in a W

   Are they using a specific presentation framework or is this a homegrown layout? I agree that the integration of advertising is nearly seamless and does not feel intrusive at all. In fact, when scrolling quickly, I thought the Madden 25 ad

   I doubt that would happen, since the Unity editor is what sets it apart from a plain IDE, especially for 3D designers looking to build games. However, they likely have plans to beef up things on the coding front instead of just relying on

    Very cool! These demos remind me of the early days of Flash when everyone was experimenting with the potential of animation on the web.

    I think Twitter addresses a great market, real-time communication and conversation, however, it is a very difficult market to monetize. The Telco's monetized communication by billing per minute or per month, but I don't think tha

    This is interesting. We researched Node.js a bit and found many arguments on StackOverflow against using it for apps that require heavy DB interaction and/or non-real-time apps. Also, there seemed to be many people pointing to the si

    The project uses the PDO database abstraction library, so supporting other database back-ends in the future would not be a major task.

    Out of curiosity, is the voice-over in the demo video computer-generated?

    I know the feeling. I collected quite a few baseball cards in the late 80's and early 90's and spent lots of time sorting, categorizing, making sets and attending shows. I ended up losing most of the cards due to Hurricane Sandy

    Looks interesting. My initial impression was that it reminded me of an Adobe Edge app. I wonder if it will be compatible with existing frameworks, such as Bootstrap, Foundation, etc.

    Android has really been a source of innovation over the past few years. I would hate to see things take a step back. I recall a couple years ago, when Google had to remove the integrated search feature from Android -- that searched both l

    Does anyone know if the Nexus 5 uses a Micro SIM or Nano SIM? Straight Talk currently doesn't sell Nano SIM cards.

    Great Job!!! I am working on an after-school programming club for my son's elementary school. Scratch is currently the main focus of the curriculum, but I could see this being a very enjoyable way to introduce text-based programming

    Agree with the Android UI. After working with it a few times, I find it quite intuitive.

    Once the volume surpasses decent threshold, the UX would be quite difficult to build without some sort of complex grouping or intelligence. The key to a successful unified inbox would be learning what is "important" to each user

    Thanks for the image link. At a quick glance, it reminded me of PHPMySQL, but I guess most, good, web-based admin UI's will have a similar layout and functionality.

    The SVG spec has been around for so long, but the fact that it competed directly with SWF held it back. Adobe was a major proponent of SVG until they bought Flash and focused their efforts accordingly. Although SVG is "readable"

    I definitely agree. Contrary to the negative perceptions, there is a major opportunity to market the BrainTree service to eBay's small to mid-size merchants along with other services as part of a professional ecommerce store-in-a-box a
