I'm glad they have a separate package just for the tracking system. I listened to a podcast with Jerri that was posted here, that I can't find at the moment, where she discusses the details of the work that went into building the

Is this meant to be a jab at multi-tasking in OSX? Because, I for one love Mission Control and multiple desktops.

That Coursera class has been showing a start date of "Oct 1st 2012" for a while. Does anyone know when the next class might be?

I have to really thank you for this article, but it may have had the opposite affect on me. I've always felt like I have a disjointed skill set, but this makes me a bit more confident in looking into this field and it give some good ideas o

The Is He/She flirting with me App is just around the corner. I wonder what new privacy issues will crop up with this kind of technology.

I'm well aware of how bitcoin works, and for starters bitcoin isn't completely anonymous. It's semi-anonymous. Secondly, a bank doesn't have to practice fractional reserve banking, they can practice Full-reserve banking. In this case the de

Collecting a currency wouldn't be a problem if there was some type of Bitcoin bank. These people who are hoarding the currency could put their Bitcoins in the bank for a promised interest rate, and in the mean time the bank could loan out t

That's awesome. I still would want to try something with a greater distance between the "eyes" to view something like clouds though.

Thank you. I wish this was available for Linux, but I'll be able to use someone else's computer.

People will stop linkbaiting once people stop being more attracted to linkbait. You can either use unsensational titles in protest, or write a title that will make people read your story. I apologize ahead of time for being realistic.
