And finally I can comment... http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2009/10/taiwan_ohd_... I probably shouldn't comment much, but there is one thing I really want to say for me, not the company. I hope we've done some good in the commun

This just creepy. We had a session at the Real-time web summit yesterday where we described needing something like this. One of the guys from Google named it the "Comet Tornado Reverse HTTP Proxy" because we were talking about adapting Torn

The being a jerk was unconnected to my wife's lack of understanding of flow. I was grumpy and I snapped at her, that's uncool. The point of the post was that I wanted her to understand why it's important to let someone to achieve deep conce

It's not Erlang it's anything. A screw driver is a pretty multi-functional tool: you can undo screws with it, you can push the cork in a bottle of wine, I guess you could shank someone with it. However, that doesn't mean most of those uses

When I read Arun and Jebu's internal paper (at Y!) I just knew we had to publish it. I really enjoyed their lack of fanboy-ism. Erlang, like all other systems, really works in some scenarios, but not in all of them. I enjoyed that they real

That makes more sense, I'm dyslexic, and one of my 'coping strategies' is word association. It's likely I read "conversation" because I read "realtime" first.

I looked at this and completely failed to "get it". Then I read the summary here and it sounds like a grab bag of stuff to both analyse and deploy content to sections of your site's audience. However, "Realtime Conversation Optimization" wa

Self-posting is cool. Self-posting and then finding 10 of your friends to up-mod is uncool.

The article picks a few atomic issues and uses them to suggest that Google aren't hiring the best people. I'm sure Google have people who can fix these issues, I'd be surprised if Google have any engineers incapable of fixing them, the only

CNet talks about old news. The paranoid team at Yahoo! were talking about this at least a year and a half ago. Yahoo! have a site wide policy of forcing PDF download because of known issues in multiple versions of PDF reader.

When I was editing this post I thought for about 5 seconds about replacing that screenshot. Then I got over myself and did something useful instead. Not everything in life needs to be a competition.

It looks pretty interesting, however only the actual device photos looked real. The rest of the content (video/images) looked like very polished prototype mockups. How that translates into real product remains to be seen.

Depends what Yahoo! bought Zimbra for, really. You may have noticed that Yahoo! has quite a big internal mail platform... perhaps they actually wanted the technology expertise and the people more than the enterprise business. Perhaps they a

Maybe you could link the Economist so we could read that story and comment on it, rather than a single line statement (although you have piqued my interest).
