I'm sure some people might dismiss the list immediately because they're not game developers. But keep in mind that many of these points could be used seamlessly for apps (Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo!, etc etc) or even your own website. Good st

Yup, that's why they were looking at buying Yahoo! for a while there. The thing is, they do everything. And when you do everything, you can't do all of it well. They have too many eggs in too many baskets (for example, why did they compete

Browsers are nowadays pretty much regarded more as application platforms than as web page viewers (see any social networking site and its "apps" section). Still, those are mostly server-side applications; cross-browser compatibility alone m

My thoughts: - First thing I noticed is when I clicked "View All" in FF3 in Windows, the menu was WAY over to the right (kinda broken). - Also your URLs are really ugly. This: https://www.dawdle.com/search.php/1/1/Video_Games=1/Systems=...

This sounds great and I've got a ride etc etc but DAMN that's early. Think I'm not going just because it's insanely early. Seriously guys, wtf.

It totally matters. Just ask any Mac or Linux diehard. Personally, I use all three of the primary operating systems: Windows XP, Mac OSX and Linux (Ubuntu in this case). I have separate uses for each and can't imagine getting rid of any o
