"...represent only small encroachments of people’s privacy." This is pretty much how it starts. First the people accept small encroachments, then they're asked to accept slightly larger encroachments. Eventually there is no p

Political suicide? Maybe in the past.

They should be, but often people vote on party lines regardless of vote history. Sure, some people may look into vote history, but not the majority.

Does anyone trust an organization that has been spying on them to tell them the truth afterwards?

I actually prefer the all-caps menu. I find that the letters being the same height improves readability for me. I wouldn't want to read a book that way though. It's similar to making notes by hand, I'll generally use all-caps when doing so.

While this is fair -- and I don't think there's a strong positive outlook on BlackBerry's future -- there were internal discussions for years about whether to change the name of the company or not since BlackBerry was really the only produc

I think that's the difference in terminology between "mentor" and "tutor." With "tutor" it's clear that you are going to be paying for tutelage. A mentorship is supposed to be an ongoing relationship with a single individual that is not nec

This may not always be indicative of positive quality. I could reduce the line count on many files and increase complexity and reduce maintainability.

People do need to learn that their actions can have negative outcomes as well as positive. This is also not something that is just happening to these people. They are taking an active part by deciding to follow someone. I certainly don't be

There's a big difference between being notified that someone favorited a tweet and an email spammer that is attempting to replicate an official email or is lying about a situation. Favoriting a tweet has no connection with "Hey, I tweet abo

I would love a mentor. How do you find mentors in software development? Pick a public figure that you respect?

I disagree. These are people who are following accounts because the accounts favorite a tweet of theirs. If you follow someone without looking into their profile and deciding if you are interested in their content then you get what you dese

I've never worked for a startup, but I've always had an aversion to vacation. It's not that I don't like going places or enjoying myself, but I hate being away and I hate not being involved and getting things done. A good vacation for me is

I think it's great that you can get a cheap phone with good functionality. What I don't think is great is tying your phone to WhatsApp. It's great that it runs WhatsApp, but what happens when something new and better comes along? All of a s

I caught on to that about halfway through the article -- as I'd imagine most readers did. It seems a bit much to me. Someone from Shopzilla responded in the comments with an apology and explanation of what had happened. Seemed good enough f

On the other hand, I refused to use a calculator all through elementary school and high school. I figured if I couldn't learn to do basic math in my head then I'd be screwed later in life. I don't think I'd be screwed anymore, but I'm happi

To be frank, with the current government being a majority it doesn't really matter what Canadians do or say. Our prime minister will see to it that whatever he wants to pass will pass. What we need to do is make sure that he gets replaced n

If logs in the car indisputably show that the journalist's article did not match the experience, then he should be called a liar and we would be well served by it.

The first thing I wondered upon seeing this story was whether or not the author was on the take with the oil or automotive industry. Is he paid to give talks at conferences? Or to speak at insider company events?

They've said already that they plan on putting out at least 5 new Netflix original series a year.

How can we know that the big companies will port their apps? Many of the top apps were missing from the previous BlackBerry OS. What indication is there that they will be coming to BB10? BlackBerry says they are in talks with Netflix, but t

As someone who used to work for BlackBerry, this was always the stated direction for BB10. Whether or not that's changed in the last few months, I can't say, but while I was there the intention was always to release in the US last to work t

They've always said that all PlayBooks will receive BB10. Who knows when though.

The original idea was to use the rest of the world as a testing ground to work out any potential bugs in the software prior to releasing in the US. It could be even worse to release in the US with a critical bug than to release later.
