During the exit interview, don't take the charges against you too personally. Find out whether there is anything at all that is actually your fault and resolve to do better at it next time. Prove to HR that they were wrong because you came

Dynamic languages were not very well served until invokedynamic came about. If you have a careful look at the Java bytecode, every non virtual function call is resolved at compile time. However, for dynamic languages, function resolution is

From what I've read, Apple started iPad development first, and then decided to use the technology on iPhone instead.

The delays I experienced is usually due to one or two passengers trying to get their last cigarettes before boarding. Furthermore, there is no point getting too geeky about complicated boarding sequence if passengers are going to get unhapp

On Reddit, the resolution was 2.5mm which isn't good enough. I wondered if it'd work better if there was a camera attached?

Top lawyers aren't paid the most because they know the law the best; that's ancillary. They're paid big bucks because they win money for their clients, prevent their clients from losing money and build networks to pe

I'm not sure why they are announcing CloudFoundry and all its news when it's in limited beta. I tried to get an account, but no luck.

Open Sourcing requires a lot more effort than you think. Even the JDK took a while because they included licensed components that had to be replaced. Secondly, HP has little to gain from the effort of open sourcing it.

One thing I admire McDonald's is its willingness to train its workers. One of my colleague's teenage daughter worked for McD's when she was in high school, and later worked for another fast food joint and she was able to identify many opera

The biggest thing Jobs brought to the computing industry is humanity. The understanding that in the end, humans come first. The second thing is he taught that you don't have to check every box in order to be successful. He stripped computin

Looking at the quality of the HP TouchPad ads reminds me of the hilarous movie The Producers, where the show has to be a flop or it will financially destroy the movie makers. HP hired comedians to make fun of potential customers, like looki

That reminds me, HP acquired an Australian company Tower Software back in 2008 [1]. That was three years ago. I think these acquisitions have paid dividends and now HP are signalling they are "all in" and put up all their chips in the softw

Actually, there are better places than trying to differentiate on price. Printing with the iPad is a prickly issue today. If HP were to even launch one printer that worked with the TouchPad, it would have been an opening salvo that Apple wi
