In that case this isn't journalism but propaganda (even if its the good kind). Lobbyists do the same thing yet we all hate them for it, these guys shouldn't get a free pass and get to call it journalism if they aren't portray

We were on Rackspace before moving to AWS. Their sales person flat out told us on our contract renewal call that the only thing they could compete with AWS with was customer service. I appreciated their honestly but they were lacking a few

Counter to your point, RDS, EBS, and all of our services have never failed even when we went under extreme load last month. Its computing and hardware, absolutely everything fails eventually.

A few years ago I worked on a digitized whiteboard system that could be projected onto any surface. Took input from a Kinect, or other input system and recorded the history of the entire life of the canvas into a database that could be expo

Oh, we're still fighting this "war"? Software is about choice and productivity. It's great that we have choices and I embrace a variety of them throughout my personal and professional life, but this "us against them" philosophy belongs in a

XNA was out dated and there are a lot of better options out there norm I used XNA for 2+ years but it wasn't worth keeping around any more. Plus, considering I just reinstalled 4.0 refresh last night, it does still work.

Judging by the amount of people in my office who can't handle something as simple as formatting a Wordpress post correctly...I think it's a bit pre-mature. Yes, most things have been made far easier, but good design and code skills still tr

I wouldn't say there is much effort required at all with RDS. We use it without issue and while there are some annoying issues with limited access to the environment, it's been pretty solid for us.

I've had a Windows Phone (Lumia 920) for a few months now and probably would never go back. Sure, some apps are missing from the ecosystem, but I rarely use apps so maybe that's just me. The integration, slick performance, and interface rea

The lack of integration (and overall terrible UI) of Spotify is actually one of the key things to drive me from Android to Windows Phone for a subscription music service. It's not perfect, but this makes me a little bit curious about Androi

I feel like the naming of all these technology startups is finally reaching a point of no return. Out of context, "Box Acquires Crocodoc" sounds like gibberish.

Everyone loves to rail on Metro but there are a ton of HCI reasons that its the superior interface and most people I know who've actually given it a fair shot (average users mostly) like it. It's an odd decision to force onto people, but wh

I'd play Dust if it came to another platform but I don't own a PS3 so I'm out of luck...and I can't lose my life to EVE Online again. CCP has done amazing work with their game and proven over and over again they're willing to take risks and

Abstaining is the correct choice though. Piracy only breeds stronger and more invasive DRM and I'm personally of the mindset that no one should work for free or produce goods without compensation unless they choose to.

I will say I am happy with the game. I don't think it's delivered on the experience that was being sold, but I'd argue that the potential is there. The angry mob on reddit fueled by RPS and other places hungry for pageviews has literally ki

Of course they did, they're on the SimCity / EA hate bandwagon for page views. There aren't really any surprises in the game if you had been even cursorily following the development the past few years/months. They've learned the best way to

This really does match up with my current view of reddit as a brutal hivemind of anonymous posters with a true lack of moderation (lest mod's get the "free speech" card pulled on them). I admit to being an active user there but there is a t

Westwood was failing and wasn't going to survive on it's own. It's a sad fact but EA bought them up in order to save the franchises and the jobs of many developers.
