M$ deserves some credit for supporting CSS long before other browsers did, as well as AJAX. But launching IE8 without canvas, border-radius, and web fonts is pretty sad.

It's not that social media has failed but rather Trent is realizing that his audience contains many antisocial malcontents and now he's recoiling in horror.

Although Trent Reznor is not some poor blogger needing ad revenue and so he probably wouldn't mind his missives being rebroadcast verbatim.

As far as doing it wrong can we go back to "app ‘A’ set a cookie with your account ID in it" and discuss why on Earth the app works like that???

If you must write web apps in C then consider writing it as an Apache module. But how much traffic would you need to justify this? Web app developers have an unhealthy obsession with performance and scalability that distracts them from buil

Right or wrong, for Twitter it's not even worth the risk or effort to test if that is true or not. Google/YouTube operates the same way: killing the account and taking the PR griping is cheaper than paying lawyers to sort it out.
