I see that the Human dimension is missing in the article and some of the comments. Yes, sure you can google whatever you may need to know. But is useful to search how to deal with your 12 month baby, for example? You can search about her e

I liked the linked article where he tolds why he switched back to PHP after trying 2 years with rails. He doesnt hate Rails, but he loves it because he learned how to write better php. http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2007/09/7_reasons_

In my opinion Argentina is cursed more for its lack of direction than a deficit in education. During the 20th century (and 21th) its has been a common practice to destroy or undo the previous administration efforts. Almost every group that

I appreciate the change. I almost abandoned the essay when I saw it was going to talk about Mike Arrington. Luckly I continued reading, and enjoyed it full. The question that remains in the back of my mind is: is this an intent of pleasin

Hey what a coincidence! I dunno why he failed with the 4th one. We maintain a leasing administration system here, and one of the most important/critical features is doing the thing he describes. You can know the exact state of any leasing c

Facebook & LinkedIn also ask for your email password, and they use it to spam. Whats interesting is that techcrunch never complains about it. Perhaps it is not wise to write harsh support letters to them ;-). stupid user though.

For the tone of the original Techcruch's article about Twitter, he must be referring to the 'world domination' flavor that those published documents have. Although in my opinion they are more brainstorm like. Lists of possibilities, ideas,
