Name anything you think to be "good" and I'll tell you why its not good. And yes I've been around a long time and I remember the world before Google perfectly fine.

Man you're a life saver, I spent an entire afternoon researching this, and finally gave up after dozens of blogs said it was impossible. Infact an article on stack overflow explained the whole situation as impossible so I gave up researchin

In what way? seems like a straight forward response to me. Corporations do what corporations do, I personally can't see any difference in Microsofts behavior to Googles. They are both as benevolent and malicious as each other in my book.

Microsoft has a history of doing a lot of things. Both moral and ethically good and bad. Its the nature of being a mega corps and monopolies. My biggest surprise is people don't seem to think Google ever have ulterior motives, even when pro

Secondly browser use is often contextual. I have reasons for using most major browsers, at any given time I may be falling into any demographic... I'm sure many here are the same.

I built an in page editor like this a few years ago. I took a completely different approach however. I used jQuery to parse the entire page as XML and the used some dom navigation to work out path locations to the node I was on. There are j

Except Asimov himself saw issues with it as the story progressed and created the Mule and Daneel to explore obviously flaws in this type of model. I agree with Asimov additions in the last books of that series ("The foundation series" for t

Tech crunch says the figures are 28% phones, hence standard phones = 67%. I agree its changing, but I'm not sure how much is forced and how much is through real consumer decision making... you'd need to be a manufacture or a carrier insider

TBH the I love the new Opera, its my browser of choice on Windows now. I still do most of my dev work in Firefox as its a swiss army knife, but opera otherwise. On OSX, despite its memory leaks and crashing, the OS integrations of Safari ca

You have to remember price point and demographics. A lot people don't care for smart phones. Smart phones are only a fraction of the phone market as well. Lots of people don't want smart phones for various reasons, lots of people buy them a

Yeah it would depend on the wording of the final decision. But courts aren't stupid, and criminals trying to alter behavior to side step a ruling is nothing new either. These cat and mouse games have been going on since laws started.

Oh one more story for you, about fake listings. My same dodgy recruiter friend I mentioned in my other story created fake nicely tailored CVs and got an 900 number. He applied to every big job he could find, even some in his own company. On
