Anecdote from NZ, all the English majors I know have read several if not all of the above authors (including one who read Ulysses 13 times after he left university). In fact I would be surprised if you could get that degree without doing so

The average writer will have read hundreds if not thousands of books before they write their first one. You picked some very specific authors then pointed at readers. Either you missed the point of the argument or are trying to create a str

Anecdotally when I arrived in London I talked to a recruiter who claimed that PHP devs get payed less then .Net devs. One recruiter in one city so take with a pinch of salt.

I have an iPhone and iPad and one of my top 3 complaints is how garbage the auto correct is. It's not just auto correct, it's how you have to hit the tiny [x] on the suggestion to dismiss it. The [x] is to small, its not near the keyboard,

Had I the time, I would create a framework for building RPGs. RPGs are hard because they require huge amounts of writing and art assets along with a farly complicated code base to allow for all the interactions. I'd focus on creating a gene

One of the nicest things about Windows 8 is that each copy shipped is a guaranteed person who is not using I.E 7/8/9. Hopefully the companies just now upgrading to Windows 7 from XP will also deploy I.E 10, but I'm not holding my breath. On

If I'm hiring an accountant I probably want to know if they have a history of dishonesty charges. You are free to give such a person a second chance, I'm less keen. I probably don't care if they had some drug charge 20 years ago though. Not

HTC isn't selling their phones to you, they're selling them to carriers. World wide. The price and time will vary by geography and carrier. It's pretty terrible that they can't sort this out before announcing it, but seems to be par for the

Mozilla makes money by setting Google as the default search provider: http://allthingsd.com/20111222/google-will-pay-mozilla-almos... I assume Opera makes some money this way, along with the Opera Mini deals you mention.

I don't see anything in this space attracting Windows gamers to Linux, but if you are already a Linux user, things are getting better. No one can really claim "year of Linux gaming" until we start seeing a wide variety of publishers releasi

I play a lot of computer games and have heard of Warhammer 40,000. I have never heard the phrase "Space Marine" in relation to Warhammer though. No doubt if you play the game it's impossible not to, but expecting people to be familiar with
