Yeah, I was confused by Windows' apparently-large share as well, and I figured it was a definition thing as well, but if you look at these sales figures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone#Historical_sales_fig

Remember this is a percentage market share chart, so it always adds up to 100%. The "slump" you see is a spike in Symbian share. Related: it's important to realize when reading this chart that the absolute number of phone shi

There's a very important lesson in here about investing, but not the one the author intended. From the article: "Suppose you find a stock that you know will increase in value. You go to the bank and say, “hey, can I borrow $90k t

So there are a handful of other services doing this same basic concept (see other comment), and none of them seem to have a story about how this scales past a single developer: sure, you can share the Dropbox folder and all work in the same

Indeed. One way you can use Docker in production[1] is one container per machine: even when you're not using the containers to split resources, the ability to snapshot and move an application and all of its dependencies in a single, l

Agreed, a rewording of the title to something a little more accessible would not go amiss.

My point was not so much that the color is bad , so much that the process by which the color was selected -- ignoring customer familiarity in favor of something that made employees happy -- was very characteristic of Yahoo.

You do learn lots of good things at companies, but you can also learn bad habits -- you can acquire a predilection for long meetings, acquire a taste for political point-scoring over (more difficult, less fun) compromise, and a default posi

I think the weirdest thing about Yahoo's logo is the color. It wasn't until I started working for Yahoo that I first heard that the corporate colors were purple and yellow[1], later changed to purple and white. The logo on Yahoo.c

At any other company, the marketers or whoever would have said "well, we obviously can't call it KitKat, 'cause that's trademarked". At Google, they know they're big enough that they might actually get KitKat t

The idea here is apparently that there are people living in a war-torn country ruled by a murderous dictator who will gas his own people and the only reason they haven't left is because they can't find a good programming job. As i

My experiments with lxc-attach always failed; presumably my kernel was wrong in some way (I followed instructions to get to 3.8, but I am sufficiently clueless that I wasn't sure it had worked, or that it was the right flavor of 3.8).

Docker is a pretty thin usability wrapper around LXC, which has Linux right in the name, so very unlikely to become useful on Windows (or even OS X, which is BSD) anytime soon.

I'm very excited about Docker[1] as both a development environment and deployment solution. However, from my early experiments, it seems there's an important difference between LXC (which is what Docker manages for you) and a full
