I'll give you an example for CouchDB that, for the first time in my life, I saw an advantage: I created a webapp where a user can author a form (with several different kinds of fields), then it syncs with a mobile app that downloads the for

And that is somehow a valid justification for writing an inadequate "native" app? Why would you choose to do it this way then if the platform you are targeting is 1) important and 2) doesn't have good support for whatever technology you are

Since mobile is their biggest growth platform and considering that they have the resources, I just don't see this as a strong argument. I always thought it was very silly that the website ran better and faster in Safari vs the "native" app.

A huge advantage of PostgreSQL over MySQL is PostGIS (the geospatial extension of PostGIS). I can't believe they don't even mention this.

When explaining this, I usually turn it around and say "How long will it take you to get 10,000 paid recurring customers? OK, how about 2?" Then the concept of task estimation and scope starts to make sense to most people.

Most people are missing some of the most amazing stuff here. First, how the slider works without refreshing the tiles. They have tiled the travel costs http://tiles.trulia.com/commute/time_map/data/driving/37.774... and are drawing these

Somebody needs to tell them about Google Fusion Tables, Heatmaps and server-side point clustering and rendering. Dropping a whole bunch of pins from a random sample like that is horrible visualization. It assumes I am going to zoom in to ev

Although it is true that certain languages give you the flexibility of writing "utter crap", I can also write pretty crappy unmaintainable code in pure C just as easily. Nevertheless, after 14 years of coding in C++, I love how beautiful my

Simple example: For one of my projects, I needed to host 16+TB worth of satellite imagery and elevation. I put a machine together with 24GB Ram, raid5, and 8 cores for around 3800. I pay $200 a month for unlimited bandwith (and I still have

Please describe to me the process of joining the wireless network. Mine (and my friends) disconnects every three weeks by itself. It is so bad, it is actually a perfect use case for improving UX.

From the comments, I must be the only one that thinks that adding new features to something that is already a complete mess, is just a terrible idea. Google TV is not a real consumer product. It sucks big time. I cannot even gift it to my p

That analysis is partly true, but it is not the main reason. In Peru at the time, whoever controlled the media controlled the thoughts of the people. The politicians have always had a disconnect with the people, and as such, had never carri

"Constitutional" monarchies should loose points just on the simple merit of being a theocracy by definition. Yet, they are the most "democratic" on this list. Meh.

Personally, I would take three extra network hops and a slower internet if it meant Comcast got screwed. Having been practically forced numerous times to use Comcast as a home internet provider because there were no other options, spent day
