I've been in the business since the late 90's my friend, and for a significant portion of that time on the side of front-end design and production. I didn't mean anything negative by calling out his inexperience with XHTML/CSS, but after re

Yes by a committee... and it's the lack of following W3C standards in the late 90's and early 00's that has created such a headache for web developers today. For example if IE5/IE6 played nice, we could spend more time building out sweet fu

No, that was not my interpretation of this article at all. It sounds to me like you've never built a large CSS/XHTML valid website, or you'd understand why the web is driving toward standards. I was like you ~3-4 years ago as I grew up usin

In OSX, the layering nature of windows to make drag-n-drop more usable sometimes becomes counter-productive. There are times when I find I just want to focus on a single item and block everything else out, which forces me to either maximize

I agree with the comments already made in regard to your post above. Here are a few of my own: If you're going to point to the early 20's and the like as a parallel (a time when economic prosperity was high), then I beg you to compare triba

The counter-argument to liquid-layouts is the fact that you need to specify a min-width which is not supported in all browsers (easy fix for jscript sure, but certainly not hack-free). So for individuals like myself, who run at 1920x1200, l

Sorry but I disagree. I find the commonality are IT people who struggle with communicating technology in-plain-english to those that do not live it 24/7. If there is a logical business case to be made, then you should not have a problem get

I agree with Seth. It's hard to swallow pride, but failure is often one's greatest success. As for me, failure has been my real-life MBA and I did not have to go into debt to get it. :)

In the context of web-based startups, you can assume 99% of the time content will dictate the design, and that the site will grow in content rather quickly. That said, the grid is one of the most modular structures for plugging in content w

Forgive me, but I find it humorous that you reference a suit as a "monkey" costume, particularly in comparison to the art direction and name of Bathing Ape and the like. I'm 26 and I find the trendy designer-esque throwback to the 80's an e

I would say that's classless, engineering arrogance at best... there are better ways to flaunt intellect and respect, like by owning a night club.

"those who want to write great software, control the hardware." Hence Apple's focus on controlling the entire process... The same shift has occurred in gaming with consoles taking over as the development platform of choice. So, I see the be

I would agree with you on the surface, however the problem in my book arises when he was contracted to perform services and intentionally delayed production. It's sabotage, not savvy. Very poor taste and does not constitute a smart business

Seriously, can someone please tell me why banks have such terrible interfaces? They have soo much money, they could blow it out of the water... Take ING Direct for example. Their service rocks, I absolutely love it... but I loathe their int

Couldn't agree more with the two points: 1. the absence of a mercantile class to foster competition and self-improvement; the sheer size of China compared with the smaller states of Europe whose fierce rivalries fostered technological compe

I've always self taught myself stuff through example code, blogs, and misc web resources. It's typically more up-to-date than books as far as web languages are concerned... However, I'm sure there's one or two worth grabbing.

I've been keeping my eye on this product for awhile, I'm actually concerned to use it given how long it's taken to come to market. I'll give it a try this evening.

Pretty good advice overall, but #6 I disagree with... and contradicts #2. You don't build wealth by spending... and while optimistic, chances are you won't go from $0 to million. But I suppose it's all relevant to one's goals... so long as

I've used Acrobat Connnect a few times... and while it's a lot better than Citrix's GoToMeeting, both lack a very usable/friendly whiteboard solution.

My elitist half couldn't agree more with this article, however my capitalist half recognizes commercial potential. That said, what I find more intriguing are the frequent social migrations that have occurred since Friendster. And I believe

Eh, business cards have a lot more value than you give them credit for; calling them 'paraphernalia' makes me question how much biz dev experience you have. Also, I recommend you visit the book store and flip through a few design books with

In my experience you should handle SEO yourself. Most of these guys are a joke (but not all). There are a couple of alternative strategies SEO's use like hot beds, link farms and other white-hat / black-hat techniques... however, most of th

Web 2.0 is becoming convoluted with me-too-variants, it's the same thing that happened toward the end of 1.0. Early-adopters and technocrats see past the distortion, but your mass-consumer does not. Growth for middle-to-late comers does not

Sometimes it's about staying in the game long enough to get your first deal. And I quote, "10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember the name." - Linkin Park Corny but applicable
