I'm no expert, but this just screams doom to me. When someone inside the company sells their shares in this quantity it's _always_ before something big. I won't speculate at what is going on inside, beyond all the negative image lately, bu

I know a good number of people who would fall for this. Very clever to imitate the warning, I must say.

I see that as sarcasm, not competition though.

I've never seen the whole quote; that does make a lot more sense than the fragment we usually see.

I'm going to argue about something else: clarity. As a consumer I look objects whose use is clear to me, and prefer to buy from brands with reputations for quality. My Capresso kettle has only one button. I fill it to two cups, the minimu

I was checking out a few of your "baffles" and ran into a bug. After clicking refresh a few times I got stuck on a puzzle piece; the caption and description said to refresh it, but it just returned to the "please refresh". I've repeated th

The second best thing to do is watch for creeping featurism. If you're setting and holding them to deadlines for things that aren't of any importance, or that a client hasn't shown a need for, perhaps you should table it for later.

Most modern programming fonts have good typography. In fact, most older programming fonts have good typography too (except for terminal, on Windows). Since the guys who make amazing typographic marvels are the same that bring us our fixed

I'm still working with Rails 3.b4, but I've found Rails 3 to be awesome. Very stable for beta code, even. ;) I hope to update to the release version in a few days, and update some older projects too.

I still remember the days before cellular phones. My dad even had one of those early car phones, it had an awesome speaker phone, but used it infrequently. As soon as he got a work cell phone the interruptions came. I'm no luddite, but th

Now that's an intriguing weapon! Sounds more plausible than the parabolic mirror, too.

But only for those at "subscribing institutions". I don't qualify, so I guess I have to see if the library has it.

I'm assuming from that sentence that the treatment will be costly. Though, honestly, for a tooth regeneration treatment you'd not need high margins for profitability.

They've got a much nicer selection of fonts since the last time I looked. Well done!

I got my Sony PRS-300 (no WiFi or 3G) for $115 from Woot, and I love it (never thought I'd buy, or like, an e-reader). So, why pay for a Nook or Kindle? When I'm out-and-about with my reader I'm, shock of all shocks, reading with it (not

Obsolete is a verb, but it is a poor choice. A better choice would be obsolesce, as in: "LESS.js will obsolesce CSS". This is because LESS.js won't obsolete CSS, but it may well start the industry on the path. Obsolete has a feeling of im

Apple is a hardware company. So, why would they ever abandon their actual cash cow? Case-in-point: iPhone 4, 720p video, and iMovie (on the iPhone). If you made iMovie like Apple has, the man-hours invested in that would demand a higher p

Rails is released under the MIT license, Stanley. It's been open-source for a long time. Fork them and make whatever improvements you want and start a push request. Instead of complain about how slow it is, why not attempt making an "even

However, we programmers must fight egotism and arrogance. The danger is that in forgetting that we are fallible and were new programmers once, we commit a grave error. We're all shortsighted at one time, or another--unless we fall prey to

Because we don't fully understand genetics, it's risky to attempt to "give" this condition to another human. From what we can understand, a given gene can control multiple traits. So the "anti-aging"/"anti-development" genes may also hold

Breaking out of a programming paradigm is difficult, but one of the most liberating things that you can do. Now when you go back to working on PHP projects you can approach it with different methods. The roughest time I had breaking my pa

This is, technically, an effort by people to ensure Theora is usable in most web browsers. In other words, they're bringing a decoder to IE and any that don't support Theora ... if the user has Silverlight/Mono. I see a win/win here, if it'

The article is taking one of two stances, but never formally (or clearly) states which. Either it's arguing that Windows is irrelevant because there is comparable software for no cost, or that the continued existence of Windows as an OS is

I wish I could take the guy who came up with the headline to task! We've had a headline homicide... 1) "it is pancakes" isn't a sentence (ambiguous in the extreme). 2) The words "[it is] pancakes" are incompatible because "are" is the plura
