Want isn't the same as "need" here. People will pay you to develop apps with FB integration. That's enough to sway plenty of developers.

Bingo. So much of what people are doing these days is throwing together APIs and frameworks, and reading documentation on the same. If the candidate has experience with the technologies you're using, and can show that they've completed some

I'm the same boat as you, paying for a VPN so that I can consume the content of my choice on the internet. I even pay for a few services abroad that normally wouldn't take my money, due to IP restrictions. I'm also in Canada, and unfortunat

That's an important point. I've done small projects where the total budget was less than $1000, the billing rate per hour was also small, and larger projects for which we billed more than that for a single day of work.

Let your money do the talking, where this product is concerned. There are reasonable alternatives, in this case, and their market position should be improved by what Asus is doing.

The ideal, of course, is that the voters will remove offending Senators via the ballot box. This is a problem when said ballot is years away. There should, imo, be procedures for recall for all elected officials.

Are you able to consider North Korea's situation on its own merits, rather than harping on the deeds of the United States? Can't the Kim family dynasty be brutal and oppressive independently of the US? I think that they can be, and have pro

On any site where there is a voting mechanism, you're going to have a certain amount of groupthink. And likewise, on nearly every such site (especially HN), complaining about being down voted is often like throwing gasoline on a fire. There

I've been on a few Facebook vacations, and I've always been disappointed to see how many people use it as their sole means of keeping in touch with friends (meaning, I don't exist if I'm not on FB with them). You won't get emails from some

In five years, we may look back at Facebook as a has-been. But I am confident that it will enjoy a long life, at least relative to the Web. I don't care much for Facebook for my own personal enjoyment, but there's money to be made in Facebo

You said that government monitoring would make you safer, and that privacy was a barrier to the free flow of information. If you don't favour unhindered powers of surveillance, where are you drawing the line, and why should a line be drawn?

I think that you grossly overestimate both journalism and government, where it regards their respective ethics. Mainstream journalists, the ones most likely to have access to government officials and processes, are also the ones most co-opt

Why is it bad? I'm interesting in hearing you defend a specific freedom, after seeing you completely disregard the importance of privacy.

An interesting article, but the title's talk of "anarchism" is of the anarcho-capitalist variety. It has to do with the state, and says nothing about other forms of hierarchy and domination.

For the most part, maybe. Tell that to the Bell customers who deal with Indian call centres when they need tech support. I know I did, years back (haven't dealt with Bell in a while).

Google+ may not be as developed as Facebook, but that also means that it hasn't had as much time to develop a half-broken, shabbily-documented api.

I think that people are still willing to pay for PC games as a service. That's what massively multiplayer games are effectively doing. These days, you can often download the game client at the cost of the bandwidth to do it ("free" in the e

Today's high end smartphones are more powerful than the last machine on which I ran XP. Vista ran like a bloated pig, but Win 7 seems to be the sweet spot, much like XP was in its time.

We have Vidéotron as an alternative, and they don't throttle. They are, however, on the pricey side.

You can say this about all of the Americas, in general. National borders, especially that of the US, are becoming harder and harder to deal with if you're a human being. It seems to be a lot easier if you're a trade good.

I'm baffled that you'd make such a blanket statement without expecting to get downvoted. There are a lot of things that can be said about 4chan, many of which are certainly not flattering. But you're not going to get away with saying "most

I do wonder how many Moleskines are sold today that have more than a few pages used, if that? Blogs and diaries are a great example of what may be a bigger trend: people often begin projects with high hopes, but due to a lack of a clear vis

He had nothing to lose, perhaps, but maybe he did have something to lose if he was foregoing conventional treatments in favour of something that was of dubious efficacy. "If" is the key word, as I have no idea what was going on with regard

Given that presumably none of us have Job's medical records (or the expertise to interpret them, in most cases), and known little about his treatments, I hesitate to speculate on his particular case. If it was the case that Jobs could've pr

With country after country heading down this path, VPNs are certainly going to become more important. At the same time, I'm concerned about the level of trust that one must put into using anyone's VPN service. After all, how long until thes

For me, I think having an editor in front of me gets my mind "in the mode". Heck, I can break a period of procrastination just by firing one up. I never enjoy writing anything on a whiteboard, be it code or some kind of drawing for a meetin

Perhaps, but the article mentions that it is the FBI themselves who are doing the organizing, seeking out people who had not necessarily taken any initiative to do anything.

If their agreement is favourable enough for Facebook, perhaps they decided that the level of control that they had was good enough. With Spotify now building its business model around Facebook, Facebook's control is not far from outright ow
