   "Beating the system" makes me think of rebellion. Is this really what you looking for in applicants? Does non-conformism really matter that much?

   As far as AppStore is the shortest way from developer to paying customer and iPhone outsells any similar mobile platform (more than 20M iPhones sold vs. 1M of Android phones and <0.5M of Palm Pres) this will continue.

   I'm using a bunch of Yahoo's APIs (not sure whether this counts) for my pet project (geolocation, geocoding, etc). Google Maps API is not offering an alternative to some capabilities of Yahoo (Yahoo's/Flickr's reverse geocoding, for example

   I used Google Finance when I needed to check out some stocks (twice a year or so) just because googling "GOOG", "MSFT" or "AAPL" shows a link there. Original article mentions 20M uniques for Yahoo Finance; I looked on Crunchbase for Google

   Do I have to bump (touch) someone's hand when doing cards exchange? What about Asian market (millions of iPhone units are sold there), where business etiquette is that you should hand your business card to someone while holding it with both

    General-purpose OCR (the task to properly scan, recognize and categorize information on the card) isn't a solved problem. I like the idea of placing QR Code (or Beetag for more aesthetics) on the card for machine processing. There are QR Co

    Placing OK phone on the market, and adding features in the next revisions is called "release early, release often". Having AppStore turned out to be more important then having copy/paste, this is why it they appeared in this order on the de

    Agree. isDebugEnabled() method is used to scare people since 2001, probably around the time when it came out of common use. Macro that is being used for exactly that is not a distinguishing feature of the language. Java proponents may come

    I think the problem with this book is not about recipes it gives, and way how it approaches the problem, but the problem itself. I spent 8 years working in different software companies, and never met a person with the 'architect' job title,
