I'm not sure hiring a cracker like Comex is an easy decision for any big corporation, especially for a company as tidy as Apple. Thanks to him they're probably spending big bucks on legal fees and losing valuable sleeping hours reviewing th

I'm now a user of both MongoDB and SQL-based ORMs, and I find that using a No-SQL type syntax makes it much easier to work with data programatically, ie, turn a UI query into a db query. But as a human, say when I'm using the Mongo client,

And how about Perl 7? Perl 14 would feel like the Java version bump, and people would say "well Perl 5 just dropped the 5" which means nothing in fact. Perl 7 could start enforcing all "use feature" and "strict modernity" out-of-the-box and

I've been a Vim user for 4 years now. I enjoy Vim and I'm definitely more productive using all those household keystroke shortcuts without having to move my fingers too much around. Really, everyone should try Vim once in their lives. But t

I don't think Sparkbuy was that great an app, although their concept of "technical searching" was interesting. Neither I think online shopping is a path Google may follow in the future. I think this is just how the higher level hiring proce

I agree that html freedom has done a lot to user interfaces and ux. But that works best in a web setting. In an intranet setting (the kinda place where IE6 may still linger for 2-3 years) using standardized RIA frameworks like ExtJS help sp
