The "like" vs "follow" might be true today, but for many artists people clicked on "become fan" not "like". That's a huge semantic difference.

You can scrap for yourself (or in Instapaper, but that's another story), but sharing a script and telling the others to do so is bad. Call me old fashioned, but I'm thinking that an author has his word to say on the way to structure and dis

Those essays are available for free on his site. If you want to scrap it for yourself, you're in a grey zone, but it will be fine. But hey, authors deserve respect : if an author wants to publish an ebook, he will.

While artillery rounds are falling, while rockets are raining, while drones are killing daily around the globe, a blogger finds out what's wrong with war : gamification. I hope to hear him talk about it on a tech-conference soon.

"Bad corporate performance" : you've hit the nail. Remember when Sony publicly adopt Objective-C and GnuStep for a week before canceling it ? [1] This is symptomatic of a dysfunctional organization. Not a content vs hardware problem. http:

Such a lack of hierarchy... Too many conflicting visuals patterns at the same levels. White space, alignment... It's responsive yes, but is it pleasant for the reader ? I'm not talking about beauty, de gustibus et coloribus non disputandum

Apple has started something interesting with the Remote App, and I hope Google TV will push this forward. From what I'm seeing now it looks more like a VCR[1] with an Android UI, but I really believe in the tablet/tv combo. IMHO multitaskin

First, the truth is what works ,iOS, Visual Studio, Photoshop... Many proprietary software products have huge amounts of dedicated zealots. Why ? Because they're great. The bandwagon effect in OSS is a truth, but this is not a cult behavi

This article is emblematic of what I would call "dark patterns of online journalism". It's not the first time (search "Apple's poisonous Touch silently kills the GNOMEs of Linux Forest" for the latest example ), and it's not just a bad art

Tech journalism in 2012 : - Find some quotes (preferably rants) from random sources, vaguely related to your subject - Add vague historical references - Choose a provocative title - Post on aggregators - Collect comments and go back to step

I don't know about the internals of the chess engine you are talking about but it would be interesting to read about it. Basically most engines are minimax (or proof-number search) and alpha-beta pruning based. I guess that in the game yo

Your sincerity is worrying to me. I thought Internet would break physical and mental boundaries... And indeed it's quite the opposite, I realize how different we are. But in a way, I understand your point, it's just that the world is not

Average white guy might need his anonymity too. Don't think you or other people at Google are a representative sample of the society. The outcry is justified.

This is written from a student perspective, where "mastering" means passing the exam. I'll stick with Norvig's 10 000 hours.

That's what I meant with "something is broken in Europe". The concept of tax competition has been encouraged by the european commission. They've created this situation where each country competes against others. I won't blame the companies

Ebay is based in Luxemburg, if it were in an offshore fiscal paradise I would have understood, but hey this is Europe. If something is broken in Europe don't blame companies, they're not the ones sitting in parliament.

I second this one. I've bought lot of technical materials (Pickaxe, some CSS3 books) on my eReader (a Sony PRS T2) and eventually bought paper editions because it was more efficient. Was I conditioned by my previous learning experiences ? M
