Man, got carried away talking about cool that forgot about my other thought. Any iPhone-competing device will need manufacturers and the carriers to push it. Android has that going already. Surely Microsoft will get plenty phones out there

Completely agree that nerd appeal matters not one bit to end-users. But while yes, they pay attention to the polish, what they are really after is being cool. And no cool person I know is going to get caught carrying Microsoft around while

I guess it's easy to assume that. To my Hispanic eyes it's different though. Somewhat recently I read that Mexico was now No.2 in obesity. Behind the US (No.1). But this is a recent development, even newer that the US's obesity I believe, a

About skipping breakfast. The concept is Intermittent Fasting. Ideally if we consume less refined carbohydrates which are quick to deplete, getting energy from "slower" sources, the natural tendency would be to reduce the need for more freq

I disagree. The article offers relevant pointers, reasons, links and first-person impressions ( that's the whole point of blogging! ). If I were interested in getting started with iPhone development, she provides me with books, tutorials, e

I like Radiant's simplicity. A PHP port of it is FrogCMS. I don't see myself using Wordpress as a lightweight CMS again, Radiant/Frog are easier to setup and maintain, and the code is well organized so they're hackable too. Every time I nee

That was my take also. It oxidizes easily being poly-insaturated and it may negate benefits of Vitamin E. Elsewhere I've read what we need is not really the quantity but the balance between O-3 and O-6 which nowadays is consumed disproporti

Some people look younger but looks do catch up to age, at least it felt like that for me on my late 30's. And—I know he lives still—the idea of Michael J. Fox came to mind as counter-example.

for Ruby there's Hpricot and Nokogiri. Now I must admit not understanding what "parsing as close to the browser as possible" would mean. These parsers would not be for displaying the HTML, they're not rendering engines like those in browser

Excel, the first GUI-based Word and Powerpoint were out for the Mac first in mid-to-late 1980's. Windows wasn't ready for them. Multiplan and the original Word were DOS apps. I know it's irrelevant to this Post, just a historical note. htt

The Colemak layout is wonderful but not so much for Vim where probably the most used key is the colon. Colemak moves this to a less accessible position, one row up, making it more painful to use constantly, as you pretty much have to in Vim

Hm, only Subversion so far has good and "easy" GUI integration over all platforms. GIT's only failing on Windows, or Mercurial's on the Mac. For a multi-level of expertise, multi-platform, multi-disciplinary team (front-end, back-end, flash

There are other factors at play also. Redbox is actually $1 per day . Keep it longer, pay more, all the way up-to the price of the DVD, in which case you just keep it. And probably more significantly, they can only hold a very limited supp

A third of the way in. While I find it definitely entertaining, and like both the military adventures and geeky bits, I do not—so far—feel actually engaged with it. However this could be because it's hard to read while in bed: tiny type and

Well again, the news site saying the law was approved, is not from Mexico (TribunaLatina based in Spain). All law updates are published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación http://dof.gob.mx Searching that site for 'droga', or 'marihuan

Why do they insist in calling it "a disorder"? do extroverts suggest we need to be cured or something? I want my Asperger’s pride parade. Aspies of the world, unite! ;)

I have a lot of respect for Anil, but I don't understand how he can conclude that Wave cannot be successful because it isn't easy enough for an average Web developer to comprehend, and copy and re-implement in competing ways. I am a Web dev

Curiously that closing line is one with which I completely disagree. Someone once described the difference between Facebook and Twitter as "Facebook is for people you used to know, Twitter for people you want to know". Speaking for myself,

Well the piece mocks BASIC at every chance, but as has been mentioned, it really only covers on branch of the BASIC family tree, which maybe I should have expected from a site titled dot-Net Masters. There were some others that amounted to

UnToDos.com I get along with it better I believe because of the looser, and simpler categorization of ->Do right now, ->Sometime soon and ->Whenever. And to a lesser extent the fun!/no-fun flagging of activities.

For one time, the first. After that it would come from the browser cache with a bandwidth cost of zero. If every user makes a few queries daily the savings would surely be bigger than not closing a few tags here and there. And I still see l

This seems disingenuous once I view source on search results and find multiple inline script elements, some not too small, again inline, style/CSS in the head and many dispersed span tags also with inline style declarations. I see some elem
