Microsoft is often late to the market on new technologies and when they are they shamelessly will try and buy their success or use their position in the market to attain what they want But to even question that their strategic idea of bundl

Thats an honest question. And I won't deny that I fall into that category. I guess since I read a ton of blogs, I made from the point of view of a reader who might like to interact with bloggers in a fashion different them email thats more

Asking me if I watch TV is like asking me if I go to the theater to watch new movies. The answer is NO to both (90% of the time), but that doesn't mean I don't consume some of the content through other methods (I download it). Meaning I won

Because the Yahoo board doesn't own the company. They only make decisions on the best interest of the shareholders. And even though some of the directors, executives and employees (the insiders) may not like the deal they do not own the maj

Me thinks there's too much self love in the ruby community. Build more great stuff and you'll have done a better job of convincing me then with these weak arguments I keep on reading.

I think PG must have known, what I only ended up finding out myself after trying too hard to make everything CSS, is that it doesn't always need to be. I kinda wish I could have an outter body experience +add that with time travel, and go b

Not to over beat the question, but I think he said what any futuristic type programmer on a deadline would say: "if you give me more time I can make it better".

I don't think he said Windows sucks, I think he was saying whatever they make five years from now will make what we currently use look like garbage. Any one who's ever listened to Gates knows this is how he likes to talk. But, sadly even af

Just cause he included billionaire in that sentence, does not safely support the inference that he's thinking of a get rich quick scheme, or prove that we are in a bubble. People will always look to the achievement's of Bill Gates and Larr

I'm not so sure that Marcus's claim is entirely invalid. I think what he is trying to propose is that in the long run the competition that Google will be facing by having another ad publisher like Microsoft, will make things better for site

Following marcus's lead on this one, I don't presume to know what elegant code is. For me its like watching your favourite athlete in action and striving emulate that in your self. So I find rather then reading books on how to write great c

I've always enjoyed hacking since I was 12, and when I'm doing it, it rarely feels like something I have to do. I do it because i want to. I didn't study computer science in college, I choose to study Philosophy instead. Mainly because in h
