Here's a barb Elop pulls on Ballmer. "That upsets me—not because some of you are using iPhones, but because only a small number of people are using iPhones. I'd rather people have the intellectual curiosity to understand what we're up agai

Absolutely. I hope they have a tooling story around HTML5. I wonder if that chart in the demo was done in canvas or photoshop.

I've seen a show about him. He is famous even in Australia. Is there any pressure on prisoners to volunteer into the chain gang?

So true. In US, it is the chain gang.

Bill Gates hired Ballmer because he needed a good COO, and Balmer was very good at it. However, MS had a Yahoo sized problem. They needed big hits, and this means they have to aim square at the middle, and not to the right of the adoption c

I have to say you sound like a very determined person to be willing to practice so much Hanon despite not liking music in the first place. It is an amazing quality. In the light of your lack of progress, I wonder whether it is because you s

Even though MS is a large money making behemoth, I don't necessarily think C# would be served any better by MS trying to support other platforms. A large part of .NET depends on a well supported class library. These class library can be ver

the problem runs deeper. When version 2 of the ThirdParty class ships, suddenly your class doesn't work. If another team has subclassed your class and overridden your printResult routine, you are effectively stuck. You can't take in bug fix

Yes, you are right. Despite it's proprietariness, C# enjoys having team that is very rigorous and have a great deal of compiler experience. Eric Lippert is super cool. In fact, C# remains one of the reasons why I still root for MS.

> wouldn't private methods solve that problem? Not if the third party developer intends to override it in his own subclasses. Documentation may solve the issue, but this goes against the "just works" philosophy. The root of the problem

As a library developer, you can explicitly declare all your methods as overridable. The key point is that in large scale software development, in Java, you can have the following undesirable situation: Version 1, you import a third party li

Credit has to go to Anders Hejlsberg, who keeps innovating upon C#. Microsoft in this case has played to their strengths because 1) it does not have to worry about language standardization and the various community processes that accompany

You are welcome. The tech company I work for ($20m RD budget), long having been a Microsoft shop, now has a neat line of Macs. The iDevices have got so good that we could no longer ignore them.

I'd imagine even the likes of IBM having to buy Macs because they need to develop for the iPad, which is a serious brand new market territory.

There is also some research that suggests fasting being beneficial in modulating insulin resistance. I try not to consume food after a certain time at night. It is not too difficult to do, and definitely stops short any thoughts of a late n

Sorry. I misread your intent. What type of "direct db connection" were you considering then?

One of the problems you will encounter is that web apps don't usually log in as separate database users. Rather, all security is held in the business logic in the web app. How are you going to prevent users from accessing data that they don

I think you also should add to the list that given a choice, people will chose leaders who they are able to like the most. This means that if China's existing leadership is heavily engineering based, the power structures will form in such w

I'm sorry but the title is misleading. There is no point developing on it for free if you have to deploy it with a commercial license. The only benefit is that existing commercial licensees no longer need to pay for a development license.

Thanks. I'm new to MVC. Sounds like MS got their act together on this one. Complicated is usually overkill for a startup though. This means a big swath of .NET technology is simply not applicable.

This is a direct result of elections. People chose those who are more like themselves. In China, the political elite also choose those who are similar in outlook. If the original ones were engineers, so to will the new rising stars be engin

As an enterprise software stack, .NET may be fine and competitive. However, the reasons that make it a good enterprise stack work against it in the startup space. Take the example of a web page returning JSON. In Rails there's a prescribed

You are right. The purpose of registries is for components to register and announce their location. If a complicated piece of software has a lot of dependencies then no amount of registry-fu will solve the problem of cleanly migrating the a

I'd say no. Avoid something where addressable market is too small. Remember that for academia, human robots (aka grad students) are cheap and viable. Having said that, keep it in your ideas book, as you might use it for idea generation. Oth

You know, I was an early skeptic of Mono. After all, what use is a copycat technology stack? I'm later to admit how wrong I was. Suddenly mono was deploying into iOS, Android and places where the existing developer ecosystem couldn't have o
