I normally have no issue with someone using an affiliate tag to link to a book. Generally if they give an honest recommendation I think they deserve the affiliate bonus for the effort. The author of this "blog post" on the other hand did n

About the only ad that would get me to scan a QR code would be the promise of an explicit coupon code/discount. My memory fogged up since so much time has passed, but last time I scanned a QR code I ended up on some fast food company's hom

Google's recalcitrance appears to stem from two issues: one is that Honeycomb is specifically designed for large-screen devices and Google is concerned that, if released, it would find its way onto unsuitable form factors; the other, hinte

Again, I think I must be missing something. If you hit Play and don't touch the mouse you see the same exact animations as if you flew in a big arc at full speed. You control nothing more than a camera angle with a glowing avatar.

I think I miss the point. Do I control anything happening with the music or in the scene? This link reminds me of a Winamp visualization from 10 years ago, but now I can fly through it, in a web browser.

I don't see people reacting as harshly if it was someone like Jack Valenti that RMS said some unkind posthumous words about. Steve Jobs did embody the lock down of computing. I'd say Valenti and Jobs belong to the same category of protect

Argument? What was I arguing? In fact, what are you asking other than saying "my language is gooder than ur language!" In fact you haven't said that because you don't want to defend a position in a mythical argument I was putting forward.

I'm not sure why people expect software beyond Solitaire, Pidgin or Thunderbird to be any easier to configure or maintain than, say, changing the spark plugs in your car. Or harder yet, diagnosing the issue as the spark plugs to begin with.
