Agreed. 37Signals generates numerous "lessons learned" posts under the pretense (implied or otherwise) of helping other people learn from their experience. If they don't see it that way, they should add the text "This design is ours and if

This has been done before. But, as we know, being early is the same as being wrong.

"Blocking TV Devices Promotes The Piracy You Hate" That's like saying the high price of Porsches promotes car jacking. People are pro-theft or anti-theft. I'll never download copyrighted content without permission. It doesn't matter what an

This will be an unpopular opinion, but in addition to boycotting Hollywood, why not also make it your mission to talk to each of your friends who illegally watch copyrighted films (according to US laws) about the cost of their actions? If t

To paraphrase Nelson Muntz of The Simpsons universe... "Stealing movies is a victimless crime... like punching someone in the dark!" - Let's imagine this plan was executed and turned out to be successful . And let's imagine the studio ge

As a rule of thumb, the number of script requests will be about as high as the number of unique visitors to your website. Since the browser caches the visitor.js script, it is usually downloaded only once per visitor. If the developers of

Too easy to counter... How many books about medical science do doctors read? How many books about law do lawyers read? How many books about urban planning do urban planners read? It doesn't seem like an unreasonable question. The OP isn't a

If I had to guess, I'd say that they moved the date so they could closely follow Apple's WWDC conference instead of happening a month before it as it has in the past. That way a) they can get the last-word press-wise and b) the can make l

The original document to which you refer (that I refuse to refer to as the "MongoGate" document :-) is about system reliability. Those types of problems can exist in any database system and are not specific to every NoSQL database system. T

Erick Schonfeld is a great writer. Yes, he might not overuse words and phrases like "brilliant," "mind-blowing," and "game changer" in his headlines as often as MG, but his articles under-promise and over-deliver vs. MG's, in my very humble

I just ordered direct from O'Reilly (eBook) and, before ordered, located a coupon code that worked for me (on August 31, 2011): 4cast -- it gave me a 50% discount on the eBook ($13.99) and supposedly gives 50% off on the printed version. T

Printers? HP has printers that can access and print directly from popular Internet sites. Also, some aspects of WebOS could form the foundation of their new direction as a software company.

Personally, I would board people without carry-on luggage first (non-blocking group) and then people who have a single bag that can fit underneath the seat in-front-of-them, and then board people who require the use of overhead space. I sus

"The other half of Apple is big strategic decisions. Do the iPod. Do the iPhone. Do the iPad." True... add saying 'no' to that when it's too early... Don't ship a phone yet . Don't ship a tablet computer yet . Steve knows when to say no.

I'm no lawyer, but this smells of desperation. It doesn't seem to be the kind of thing one would do unless one really had no other choice in making a case. Are there really no good, real examples of the iphone/ipad form factor prior to the

"But one thing I was very right on is the huge demand for a less expensive tablet computer" Arrington should be a futurist/ecomonist, not a op/ed writer -- after all, he was "very right" with this prediction! :-) But, IMHO, I think he was v
