Not mentioned in the article, but this band aid style sticker is a reference to Job's joke at the press conference (from memory): We will be giving bumber cases until September 30th. By then there might be some other solution, maybe

The figures are amazing. I would love to see some Facebook research people calculate the "six degrees" using their user's networks. What would the average x be in "x degrees" for two avarage users on Facebook?

Strange, might have been the reality distortion field, but as I watched the press conference I though to myself at several occasions "yeah, this will shut the nay-sayers up." I thought they made a pretty strong case with the data they prese

Yes, but that might account for why this guy isn't able to reproduce the bar drop.

Jobs clearly stated that the demo of bars being dropped on other brands of phones was done in an area of bad network reception. If people try the death grip with good network reception they won't see any drop in bars. As I understand, this

According to Larry David, Steinbrenner himself was actually meant to appear playing himself in one episode of Seinfeld (The Finale, IIRC). They shot his scenes, but found in editing that his acting was so lousy that they had no choice but t

Yep, those implementations are crappy, but they are in production and deployed in hundreds of thousands of end-user systems. The author seems to have only been testing PC web browsers, which is not the only place JS is used. This is easy to

I write semicolon-less code and, in my experience, there isn't a JavaScript interpreter that can't handle it. Come visit me at work and I'll show you a few JS implementations on various set-top-boxes that will freak out if y

You are correct. I work with JS engine implementations most people have never heard of. Performance is different between engine implementations, and so is availability of different ways of solving a task. Using the common browsers' best pra

On an unrelated note, am I the only one bothered that a lot of online publications put the stock "name" after the company name? ... favored by Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT). What good does this really do?

Where does it say that the Swedish Pirate Party are providing the bandwidth? I can't find anything about that, maybe my Lolcat isn't what it should be.

"Avoid lines longer than 80 characters." This one really bugs me. 80 characters doesn't fit a whole lot of stuff. In a case where a line is more than 80 chars long I would rather see this: document.getElementsByClassName("externa

I think that by I/O in this case people mean network I/O, not disk I/O. Edit: Sorry, maybe I was jumping to conclusions. Databases and files are of course not always cached in-memory.

I can't wait to use it as an input device for my Mac. A huge touch pad that can connect via Bluetooth and be used to bring multi-touch to my iMac would be excellent.
