Great point! It wasn't long ago that Google was bidding on spectrum and battling net neutrality to ensure easy and unfettered access to the Internet and its online properties. The Telcos/cable companies/ISP's are just another gateway that

It's too bad there couldn't be just one version of Windows 7 that is configurable instead of the "Home Premium", "Business" and "Ultimate" options. I know this has been debated quite a bit before when Vista was released, but I was hoping M

Although the article didn't cover any specifics of the language, I think PHP has definitely improved. For what it lacks in elegance, it makes up in ease of deployment and scalability. Overall, the improvements made to PHP over the past fe

The increase in development for memcached is a good thing since it's a relatively easy and less expensive way to scale. As mentioned in the article, relational databases will be around for a while and were never designed for the kind of sc

Great list of books! How great is this book from 1984 - Creating Adventure Games on Your Computer ( http://www.atariarchives.org/adventure/ )

Sounds interesting. But how does it add much more value than a website shortcut link on your desktop? Also, doesn't Windows XP have a "Links" toolbar option to access favorites from the toolbar?

Exactly. Beyond even the file format issues, when will Sony finally stop using MemoryStick media.

I find it interesting that there are Twitter users that actually code in Cobol. Also, PHP is not even on the list :) I would think that coding in PHP with a good framework like KohanaPHP or CodeIgniter, much more fun than writing in Cobol

Very true. Certain AP classes, such as History, English and other AP courses that fill in elective credits should be fine for most. However, if you plan on majoring in a subject area that requires in-depth knowledge of specific material (

I think the increase in AP exams comes down to basic economics. If each test only cost $86 these days and is the equivalent of 3-4 college credits (depending on the course), passing just one exam is a great savings to the student in both m

Colleges should be investing more in the open source Sakai project. Which has already produced an extremely functional and completely open learning management system. Sakai is by higher-ed for higher-ed.

I'll have to run a test to see how things go. I may just stick with the "Home" link for now.

As stated a few places. I think this may work well for students that need to carry around many large/heavy textbooks. Since it would still fit nicely in a book bag. However, the price tag is a bit high for students, unless the textbooks

Given Apple's previous experiences with online services such as .Mac and MobileMe, one has to wonder why Apple shareholders would consider this a wise investment. One possibility is that this would contribute towards Apple's latest moves to

I modified the css in the screen.css file to fix this. It seems to work ok until it's time to upgrade.

I've been trying to reduce the number of divs by attaching the span-x classes onto other block level elements like <ul> whenever possible. But layouts seem to work better with more divs.

++ for Dina. It's an excellent programming font and looks great even at 8pt. It allows you to see much more code per screen.

I remember reading about the JS port of Processing last year. It's amazing to see what can be accomplished with the HTML5 canvas. Hopefully, the adoption of HTML5 is faster than most other standards, otherwise, it's almost easier to downl

I agree that it is way too early to move to 1200 unless you create a dynamic design that switches according to user resolution. Furthermore, with widescreen monitors becoming the norm, most people will rarely keep their browser windows max

I typically use ORM for most models. But create custom DB methods within the model for more complicated queries. Having the standard DB library methods available within an ORM model makes Kohana very flexible.

I currently use Kohana 2.3.x for all my projects and highly recommend it. The 2.3 branch is very stable and is now managed by a team of developers that are committed to a stable API. Some of my favorite features are: * very clean and wel

The lower TCO claim is frequently used when enterprise apps compare themselves to open source options. Oracle clearly has better tooling than MySQL which could make sense for a large corporation, but a small business or startup would find

Thinking about these large acquisitions, it's hard to imagine that Oracle now owns Solaris, Java, BEA, Seibel, Peoplesoft, MySQL and of course their own Oracle DB.

I would definitely be concerned about any future innovation of MySQL. Perhaps, it will get folded into Oracle's Express edition and then slowly phased out over time. Any advances that put MySql even remotely close to Oracle in terms of sc

This is a major point in favor of Flash. The adoption and expansion of Flash into the enterprise is critical to the future of Adobe. Thus, Adobe will continue to invest heavily on improving and expanding the Flash player, API, support and
