I agree, the law does need to change. Sure, maybe you'll spend thousands of dollars to build your itunes collection over the years, but let's hope you backed your songs up. It may not seem likely that Apple will shut down the itunes store,

How can you call Grooveshark part of a stable new music ecosystem when UMG threatens them with "legal jihad"? See: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1660645 And how many thousands of dollars does it still cost to fill up, say, a 64GB iP

This was like five years ago, before mobile internet was available to most consumers. Also, writing mobile apps before the App Store was a real pain, and involved dealing directly with carriers, I believe. It was a good idea, just ahead of

There's also the William Gibson documentary, No Maps for These Territories. It's very conversational, actually mostly just him talking. You can find it on Youtube.

Is this an ethical or pragmatic dilemma? If it's the latter, going open source could be a great or not-so-great business decision, depending on your business model. So you should tell us more about your project. If it's the former, you can

I think this is a really interesting idea, but this site serves only as a frustrating introduction to a blog post that explains everything. http://www.blog.ahumanright.org/2010/10/buy-that-satellite/

Unrelated to the article, but I'm impressed with Incanto's clean and readable layout. Most restaurant sites are an ugly mess of flash.

Magazines like Cosmo target women but obviously don't try to sell based on intellectual content. You won't see covers like theirs on, say, Bitch magazine, which is most definitely "women focused." Of course, the kinds of magazines that the

This seems like a voluntary version of the "software tax" RMS wrote about way back in the day in the GNU manifesto ( http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html , see “Programmers need to make a living somehow.”) I guess it never caught on then,

Indeed. Javascript: The Good Parts is a good book for getting past that stage. I feel like I'm finally learning JS, after having used it for years amateurishly, and it's becoming one of my favorite languages.

I spent a summer interning at a large financial data company, and I was surprised to see javascript was used quite a bit internally, so I can attest that "enterprise javascript" really does exist. My coworkers wrote very good code, however
