Rarely have I come across an article that promised such a ringing endorsement in its title only to find it peppered with bits of snarky back handed compliments. So it doesn't come as much of a surprise that there wasn't much there even for

I was a bit surprised when I checked out their hosting situation. Only in one DC (suburban chicago) and up until about a year ago they were only using one network provider. Now they're on three, apparently they had some real pain points bef

I don't disagree with Dunning per se, but he misses or intentionally steps around some significant issues. The big rise of GM corn in the US was due a gene that made feed corn resistant to the herbicide glyphosate, which they are the primar

That spying on people is wrong and you don't believe it should be done is a laudable moral position and quite reasonable to expect out of the vast majority of the world's population. That doesn't change the fact that it'd be an absolutely d

Google has a source license for Flash - they just get the fixes from Adobe before they've passed QA in all of their products. Google doesn't actually develop their own fixes in these cases - they just ship them faster.
