His album "Thriller" is the most sold album in the world, to this day. I don't think "mime" is a an apt description.

If 12x slower than safari, that means it's probably already faster than IE7. So maybe it isn't approaching Macbook speed, but it is approaching, or meeting, desktop browser speeds.

It seems your CTO also didn't know the difference between your website and other websites. He must have had one hell of a personality.

I've never quite understood how or why broadband vendors can get away with not allowing their customers to actually use the broadband they're paying for.

I understand if you hold the WSJ in very high regard, as do many people, myself included. But they have not published in which way they've obtained the information, not even in vague terms. As far as we know, it is completely unsourced.

True enough, but this particular article is completely unsourced. It is very little more than gossip at this point.

I'm certain they like the side-effect of getting links from both sides of whatever fence they put up this week, but it could just be a nice side-effect, rather than the goal. I'm similar in the way that when I make an argument for something

That guy seems to be looking really close for things he can misunderstand or misconstrue in order to have a disagreement. This is probably not the first time he's read something he "disagrees" with at 37signals. It reads like a lot of pent

It's such a low barrier of entry and almost non-existant learning curve to code for Twitter, so I expect quite a lot of services to have made that mistake. Not the big ones, though.

The Swedish Pirate Party has a horrible name. Because its political platform is all about preserving the right to personal integrity — not piracy. Certainly, they also believe that copyright and patent law needs to fundamentally change. And

Clearly, painting is a different skill than is graphic design. Not to beat on him too much, but I think the results speak for themselves.

It looks as though the logo was designed by a programmer. I, for one, would not hire a designer to program. I don't see why it ought to work so much better the other way around.

I agree, this is something that shouldn't be solved arbitrarily in a first-come first-served fashion. However, I don't think this is something that will ever be solved or even addressed as long as Pythonistas continue to pretend Python

Some people will, some people won't — unless of course either service shuts down due to lack of revenue, in which case nobody will. The subject of this article is such a strawman's argument though, and a very weird one at that. Who ever cla

We use Basecamp and Highrise because I haven't seen anything better. And by better I don't mean "has more features". The products are simple and obvious in their nature. That is why we use them.

Although I don't plan on getting the Palm Pre, I'm quite happy with my iPhone, I think it would be very beneficial for Apple to get a "real" competitor in that space. One that can truly challenge Apple to innovate and to continuously improv

Shouldn't the lesson to take away from this rather be that it's important to not be stupid? Clearly, the "MIT trained" programmer don't know what what he's doing, at all. I'd expect similarly disastrous results had he used the same 100% i

Maybe he meant "You should not trust anyone with your password."

I have a unique password for each and every site I'm registered at. Outsourcing the safekeeping of your password to everyone but yourself is a bad mistake.
771.
by tjogin 18y ago
Instead of trusting every single provider of a service you use to safekeep your password, why not just use unique passwords for each service? I mean, really, you can't put the blame on each of the service providers if you choose to use th

Whatever slides upset anyone must be missing from that presentation, because that's harmless. America really need to cool down when it comes to nudity. It really won't hurt the children.

Maybe I'm missing something. Does this not apply to just about every sentence in every language?

Programmers suck at design because it isn't programming, it's design.

So this newfangled thing called web apps is going to offset the App Store, is that it? The author of the article assumes that the App Store is a problem to iPhone developers. It is not, it's a solution — one mobile and other developers

I don't think I was even close to saying that the market doesn't exist.

Who could have possibly made it? Dell? HP? These guys think in the line of "more features is better". The whole industry does. Apple? They choose to not compete on the low-end market.

That's half the truth. Jason Fried likes to compare this to how world famous chefs lets people in on their cooking secrets. Reading their cook books or watching their tv shows isn't going to propel you to their level of skill or put them ou

I agree with your general perspective; but also, I see obvious benefits to charging for one's product directly from the user; revenue increases as you grow, no conflicting interests or prioritisations between advertisers and users. What a
