   I don't get that feeling of copycatting from something like Ubuntu with a few Compiz bells-and-whistles turned on. Instead I get Windows and Mac users drooling at the eye candy. Granted, that's just eye candy. Netbook remix looks awesome, f

   Understandable (avoiding the appearance of advertising). I actually need auditing and was being lazy about shopping around. tptacek, you're right about life being too short for that BUT in some cases an entity really does need to ensure com

   Does the company you're involved with do PCI compliance auditing?

   The x-domain stuff is very cool and will be extremely useful. I'm scared what black hats will do with it, though.

   They can take their money wherever they want. That's not what they are doing, though. Rather, they would have GoDaddy adhere to their moral standards.

   Censorship 2.0, then. Easier to create an uproar on the internet than bend the FCC to your will. Personally, I found the commercials stupid and I dislike GoDaddy for reasons beyond their advertisements.

   Another argument for not relying too heavily on the cloud. Keep local backups and tell your parents/grandparents/whoever to keep local backups.

   I don't want to bash Rails but that site is having load issues. Probably nothing to do with Rails but that doesn't do much for advocacy.

    Is this just spam? Deals on twitter are nothing new.

    His argument about employees shopping and browsing during work hours is easily taken care of by firewalls and work policies. It actually becomes moot when you take personal mobile devices into account anyway.

    I don't find these reasons to be compelling. Surely there are other reasons against web apps like security. I would actually like to see a more in-depth critique of web apps and a corresponding one on local apps.

    We've been wanting to do this where I'm at for a while. While I hate to put human beings out of work, they really do make too many mistakes for shipping things perfectly.

    I write affiliate systems and have to say that they do work very well for the company using affiliates. The affiliates that actually make enough to quit their day job are probably few and far between, however. There are also a few shady cha

    Do we really want the mobile net to be dominated by one rendering engine? Haven't we been down this road before?

    Processing (and Wiring) have a pretty specific purpose which extends beyond the focus of the article. Plus it's essentially Javascript.
