This is seriously cool! this really brought up some very fond memories of a movie I really really like. Thanks for posting. Growing up I always like the UX they had for things in star-trek TNG. Back then in the nineties touch based interfac

A vey interesting post. I'm actually excited about the ability to pa by mail and in general paying for things online in a more convenient way than having to create accounts at all these web sites and then having to fill my personal and paym

Thanks for putting this up. I'd be very intrested to know if anyone has ever done a similar test with Azure?

I wish more companies would go down that road of actively encouraging the community to hack their products. There's a certain degree you need to have in your product to do this. I guess a lot of big companies don't have the kind of culture

Can all products be measured according to just 3/4 metrics? Are there any examples of tech products out there we use today who we can't?

I'm pretty sure there were a lot of businesses who banned cell phones 10 years ago. We'll wait and see how Glass goes.

It's a good call for action, but from my own experiences the cost of rebuilding things (time,money,breaking stuff) is so great, and there's no real incentive for anyone within the company to do so. On the bright side - this does open a wind

Rossie's hand are hilarious. Too bad I don't at sausages.. I'll gladly wait for the pastry cook version though

Having worked in the industry for a while, my rubber duck is quite educated by now. I find he understands most of the applications I write (it wasn't so in the beginning!) and at times makes very helpful suggestions, although I'm loath to a

I bless (and curse) my high school math teacher for the insane amount of homework he gave us. Thanks mr. Rappaport!

im pretty sure Cook got like a $400m grant to vest over 10y when he got started. Anyways, I do hope for Elop he's getting paid in cache and not stock.

The hardware looks great. The thing that bugs me about the pixel and chrome OS in general, is that I don't know a lot of people who can manage their day by day work using only web apps (no office, photoshop, autocad, eclipse, whatever). Web

You've got to hand it to Holder. Answering a 13 hour filibuster with a 2 sentence letter - that shows some class.

Interesting - My understanding of these was that by using this kind of open communication you'll be able to get(most) people to open up and tell you more about what they do, which might help as you as you make your way into an organization

Python is getting the respect it deserves. I'm interested to know whether someone here has experience to share in running Python under JPython in production ?

The only comfort in their maniacal prison system state is that they make funny propaganda videos (the one with "we are the world" should totally get an SNL cover). Other than that it's a complete human tragedy. Let's hope for a Korean sprin

Programming/administering SQL based DB apps is just such a hassle and pain that anything to replace that paradigm (NoSql,Hadoop,..) is such a welcome change. I hope that the open source community keeps leading this space, so we don't end up

IE10 to me is like Bing, it almost doesn't matter what they do with it, the train has left the station. And as a web developer' even though they're catching up, don't get me started about it...

If Java programmers would only apply the concept of immutability the world be such a better place... Every time I log from within a setter to see who's calling this and when, a little fairy falls from the sky.

Java's a great server side tech (Scala,JRuby,etc..). Why we need it in a browser beats me.. I don't seem to have CPython running in my Chrome, why should I have Java? Can't remember the last I visited a site who had it.

In their defense you can say that at least the passwords were hashed - otherwise it would have been much more of a travesty. Even so, Evernote users (myself included) should prepare to have our Gmail work a bit harder against Spam (i assume

I would love to see more women in "hard" technology startups. There are too few women founders out there (a sad thing), and out of them a lot work on companies that appeal mostly to women. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I would LOVE

This OS has got virtually no apps. Not even office. It's almost sad. They should work till they drop to get blue stacks or build their own emulator to run android apps on this.

I'm actually a big believer in Glass. In my mind getting the average person to use them is actually simpler than it was to get them to use a cell phone. Everybody has sunglasses and they're used to wearing them (even indoors). With phones i

I think the best way to work with customers (and I do believe you should) is not having theoretical discussions with them about the market or whether a new product can take off, but rather give them a number of tangible alternatives (can be
