   My high school didn't allow students to use cell phones in class and they were frowned upon being visible at all. I can't remember anyone in middle school having a phone although I'm sure people did. Your school allows you to just use your

   Brings me back to my Data Structures class. Funny how often we use these features yet take for granted the underlying implementation. Classic first year CS student classwork (although we did Java not ObjC).

   I was disappointed that I couldn't play old Wii Virtual Console on the new Wii Touch Screen. You can't even navigate to any of your old games without using using a Wiimote. Why they couldn't put those games in along with the Wii U menu is b

   Apple is now matching employee charitable donations? That's kind of surprising given their previous stance on donations. That change definitely seems a result of Jobs leaving.

   I wonder if people start abusing this if Github were to put any restrictions on it somehow. For quick one off single page things sure why not, but if people start trying to host huge websites on Github? I'd be curious as to their response.

    Here's their technical writeup on the process, http://www.zurb.com/article/1119/create-emails-for-any-devic... Curious, they use the <table> element to get around the lack of media queries!

    Just because myname@xyz.com is valid according to the RFC does not mean xyz.com is an existing domain name with a mail server setup that an account 'myname', let alone that user who inputted actually has access to that account. Just send a

    Accepting "()<>[]:,;@\\\"!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{}| ~ ? ^_`{}|~.a"@example.org versus accepting j@ww.com Hardly a valid comparison. Yes my theoretical non existant service would validate addresses like yours. That is vastly different to

    I don't care for overaggressive email validators myself, but if you are registering with my service using an email of ""()<>[]:,;@\\\"!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{}| ~ ? ^_`{}|~.a"@example.org" I'll probably want you to enter something more

    Yes that would work for losing your band, similar to a credit card, makes sense. But with people walking around with the keys to their entire kingdom, I am perhaps more worried about the kidnapping sort of scenario.. Maybe I've just seen to

    Better hope you don't lose your device. Or worse, better hope bad guys don't kidnap you. Instant access to everything your band authenticates you to. Maybe just your family photos, maybe access to your company's source code, maybe unlocks t

    I would argue that the article doesn't really say much/add much value and that if it weren't written by Gruber, it wouldn't be submitted and it wouldn't be on the front page.

    I think most of us can agree that IE 10 has come along way. The reason web developers hate IE is when we have to build sites for older versions of IE because people can't or won't upgrade. Sometimes clients require support for these older b

    Interesting discussion in that site's comments over whether or not the author's use of The Oatmeal's comic images are fair use or not.

    Can we please stop using the word 'sexy' to describe certain startups? I doubt people have a sexual attraction to most startups.

    The .ga registrar is managed by a subsidiary of Vivendi, so this isn't too surprising.

    Looks like most of the graphics on 538 are using <canvas> which makes me think they weren't made with d3. So that's rather curious for me.
