This is excellent. Thank you for contributing this code. I can't wait to get a Kinect and try it out. There are quite a few possibilities with this.

Good point. Although, if everyone moves to the Mac App Store, I wonder if you'll ever get to see the .app extension anymore. I'm assuming apps will all be maintained in a proprietary db.

Does anyone else feel that the word "app" is already branded to mean fast and cheap? Perhaps, it's just a perception that will diminish over time. I guess it sounds better than the "Mac Desktop Application Store".

I agree that there could be some price pressure due to increased competition and choices. However, given the inherent differences between iOS and OS X apps, I don't see many iOS developers being able to instantly compete with the establish

What other options did Google have in this scenario? Being a software and data-focused company, they clearly were not positioned well to build and ship handsets. Google's best option is to ensure to ensure that their services (search, Docs

This is smart competitive positioning by Microsoft. Microsoft has been burned in the past for not embracing standards early and clearly wants to be on the right path from the outset. The difference this time around is that HTML5 also pres

Prior to the purchase of Macromedia, Adobe was actually a large proponent of SVG. See http://www.adobe.com/svg . Adobe tried to compete directly with Flash with products such as LiveMotion and the SVG exporter for Illustrator. After the

If it works similar to Ubuntu Software Center then it should be a very nice option for many people. I like being able to quickly download applications through the Software Center, while also having the ability to manually install packages

Facetime could become a strong competitor to Skype once a Windows client is available as the UI seems very polished and well "integrated". Now only if my parents had a Mac so I can test it out. They always seem to have issues getting vide

View your cover letter as another opportunity to sell yourself and get a call back. A resume has many details, but lacks personality. The cover letter is your chance to differentiate yourself from other candidates.

Excellent advice. I've been reading through many applications lately and find the most interesting cover letters go into some detail about aspects of the candidate that are not covered in detail on the resume. Good cover letters need to g

How would jQuery Mobile (JQM) fit into this picture? It's due to be released shortly and seems to address cross-platform issues. I think JQM is going to be a great impetus for the next generation of mobile webapp development. I'm looking

I just don't see the synergies of a full takeover beyond owning the rights to the PDF format. A full takeover would result in Microsoft paying a high premium for a set of desktop design applications (CS suite) that are not part of its DNA

I could see definitely see arguments on both sides of the fence regarding this feature. It may also lead to more work for designers, since the "first impression" of a website would occur before the click-through.
