I feel like people got soft as soon as they saw Apple on the BSA. A few people I work with were dead-set against SOPA and all it stood for - suddenly, after seeing Apple here, had a completely different, sympathetic opinion towards it. Are

I don't give a crap if Flash dies, but why lie? Seriously. Just say, Flash is a piece of shit and we don't want it . At least, you could structure an argument around that. Thoughts on Flash does hit a few worthy points, but many of them

Others here have said that SOPA, or other forms of it won't go away even if the current bid to censor does not succeed. Lobbyists spend so much time and money pushing these bills down our collective throat. They do this under the impression

If this goes through, it is doubtful that the US will remain the tech startup mecha for very long afterwards. Just about any revolutionary technology could find itself in hot water with this bill. A sad day if this gets passed.

Having trouble hiring talented people seems to be a pretty good problem to have. The logic is flawed - from a guy who stuck his middle-finger at various large companies while working at the helm of Napster. I think the new economy (eventual

Right now I am on Concerta, 54mg. I have tried higher dosages, but the drowsiness and inattentiveness came back. This is what originally lead me to believe that the effects (stimulant or depressant) of substances are relative to the person'

As someone who suffers from ADHD-PI, I can't help but wonder a possible co-relation here. Before my occasional marijuana use a few years ago, I wasn't aware of my concentration issues. Like many others, I thought I was just lazy or unmotiva

Love it. One thought - have standardized CSS listed first. I type in "background" and get "-webkit-background-composite" as a first result. I'd probably want to see just "background" come up, followed by declarations less popular. Regardles

This. Attackers just point their attention to the greatest targets. When one target disappears, the attackers don't disappear - they just find a different approach. The recent iOS security breach proved this, in my opinion, pretty concretel

I agree that both open and closed can co-exist, but if media drives media (ie, advertising agencies chasing the app-for-no-reason bandwagon) how can we be sure that we don't have a monoculture in software development in the future? I don't

Very few people will probably agree with you, probably even try and bury your comment, even though you're absolutely right. No one wants to admit that their fav. ecosystem is basically mob-mentality dressed in a sleek, comfortable, suit - b

Capitalism only works if someone is the toilet. China refuses to be the toilet. Other countries with large populations are also becoming industrialised, as such, will refuse to be used as our toilet. Sarcastically speaking, this couldn't co

Here's the thing. If you think of Flash as it is today, you can find how it will find eventually decline. Again, not disagreeing with that. Flash can die as a browser plugin and live on - not as a plugin, but as a programming language (AS3)

Thanks for the down vote. It's good to see that the verifiable information I have presented has upset someone with an opposing viewpoint (ie, a lie predicated on eager technology xenophobia).

I don't disagree. I just think the slight of hand isn't necessary. Otherwise intelligent people are playing the telephone game for really no reason.

This is for Flash Player for browsers. If you're going with AIR you'll be fine. That's the problem with this conversation. Flash haters are wrongfully disseminating information (lookin' at you, Gruber), which is causing more confusion for t

I feel like if this were an Android flaw, I'd see it in the title. Miller was booted from dev for discovering a major flaw in iOS. A hacker can have full access to the phone and personal data by just downloading an app from the App Store. D

JSON file blobs don't require any configuration on my part, so IMHO, JSON is better than MongoDB.

This point of view stands so long as the client hasn't heard something else from another vendor. New clients (the ones you'd have to explain this to) are often trying to avoid Caveat emptor situations. These IE development conversations a

Absolutely right. I am finding that, especially with mobile, you have to really think about the design so that shit work is cut to a minimum. For example, I am in the process of making an iOS app, but it interfaces with an external applia

Netflix has convinced me that I won't pirate if I don't have to. In fact, if Netflix had everything that premium movie networks in Canada offered, I doubt I would download any movie ever. Unfortunately, in Canada, the government is protecti

It would be great if this also supported Z-Wave, Insteon or ZigBee. Z-Wave would probably be more advisable since ADT and a few others are jumping on the Z-Wave protocol.
