   I have met quite a few people who think that they're doing it well. It's not just "people who say" there are actual studies.

   This sounded like a good idea until I saw the example domain names. Horrible-sounding and too long. I would bet on the hot domains to be brand-specific and not containing the word "marijuana".

   I could have used this yesterday! Ended up overbuying wine for an event. The result on your app is about how much we ended up actually using.

   I said this somewhere else, but my Asus eee PC w/Ubuntu from 2008 does not have an optical drive and has an SSD. Apple's a little late to the game. Once again they do something that isn't new and the world thinks that it's innovative or ear

   MG is a sort of troll, himself. He invites comments like that. I don't mean this as a personal attack but his articles are sometimes inflammatory and a lot of times come across as simple Apple ass-kissing.

    I agree, "HTML5" is a stupid name for what it's being used for... but what is the tech press supposed to call the loose bundle of browser technologies? They're going to call it something chosen by the path of least resistance.

    This is nice and I completely agree with the sentiment. Do it where I work and you'll be out of a job. If you can afford to do that, go ahead - maybe you'll enact change.

    I have fairly long dreadlocks. My job is at a desk but I have done my share of moving, carpentry, welding etc outside of my job. He just needs to keep his dreadlocks tied back, covered or whatever to keep them out of the way and from gettin

    Siegler's earlier article was complete unprofessional flamebait and also acting as if Apple is the first company to ever produce an input device that's an alternative to the mouse. This article is just some lame attempt at backtracking with

    I kind of see the truth to that comment but you're missing the larger picture. There really is an entirely different world in the games industry. I haven't worked in it myself but have had friends in the industry since the late 90's and my

    I hope your Texas remark is a joke I'm just not getting because of the textual medium. The US is the 10th largest producer of sugar and Texas is one of four US states known for growing sugar cane.

    That's part of it, although I think it's more along the lines of MySpace not providing proper customization tools in the first place. Once it was discovered that users could redesign their pages in a very hacky method it really went downhil

    I'm not a parent but would like to think that if I were I could be honest about any past substance abuse. I think this can go a long way into preventing a real crisis with the worst of illegal substances (the hard stuff). Anecdotally, I hav

    I would probably be considered an iPad hater, but have to say that this "article" is complete rubbish. Come on...

    I would say the major selling points of smart phones is not browsing the web, but the use of "apps". Browsing is still mostly a pain on such small screens, not many pages are optimized for mobile.

    This has already been debunked. Note this update at the bottom of the article. There are also several articles floating around completely debunking the hyperbole. "*ECT News Network editor's note - June 24, 2010: After the original publicat
