Crippled bluetooth and low ringtones volume. How familiar... Every time I try to buy a smartphone I end up hitting these two walls.

There was an excellent discussion on the subject two months ago and I bookmarked it. Unfortunately it reports "Invalid Operator" error when I try to use that bookmark now. We're looking to hook up a credit card processing to our app. As c

I hope my question gets answered here. In our case we're already incorporated and the product (not a prototype) is going through the final stages of beta testing. We are not very interested in money at this point (certainly not in $20k) but

Why bother with all that hard math if you can make $80k+ your first year after you get an associate degree in (for example) nuclear medicine. Point I'm making is that US economy is turning into "services economy", while science/engineeri

Why limit your audience only to Facebook users? If you like that approach (believer that "Facebook Platform" is the internet of the future) you could have gone wild and re-implemented proven web businesses for Facebook platform only: clo

I've worked with famous people who wanted to "do it again". The reality is that most of them refuse to admit that luck played some role in their last (successful) venture. This made them very annoying to work with in practice. Do not forg

I'd argue that there are at least two other MORE important factors: JS (IMHO) is somewhat closer to Ruby, compared to Python. In fact I suspect that his "secret 20% project" is Ruby to JS compiler (or vice versa) Also, (most importantly)

Fine effort indeed. But do not forget, he had to do all that heavy lifting just to fit into google's corporate policies. To me JavaScript makes very little sense because I like RoR mostly for the first 'R'. Putting Ruby aside, I don't se

Flex has severe graphical performance issues on big surfaces: think of a giant 100% flash website, maximized 1600x1200. This is why most flash games, even simple ones, prefer to run in a tiny window in the middle. (as originally designed).

In many of those countries people live in big and tall apartment buildings, so dropping an expensive fiber to just one block of those gives you TONS of users. Compare that to a typical rural suburbs in US, where you have to put down miles a

Finally the dude started blogging again. I am in no position to prove him right or wrong, but his emphasis on parsing/mining skills is very understandable. Simplifying, commercial software does (mostly) two things: collects data and transfo

Great looking site. The idea... in spite of tons of very similar sites out there... A little weak. Unless I am missing something. Good luck though.

I would. If I could afford you now :-) Because if you are really good and really talented, getting you to work with us 2 years after you graduate will be one hell of a lot harder.

Well... there were lots of things we all used to do when me and my friends were in high school. Most of those things were... well... absurdly dumb just like most things you do when you're in high school. Nobody used to write articles "

There is something very very very wrong with big corporate America, whenever execs of poorly performing companies manage to squeeze $70 million in compensation. I fail to see any reasoning behind decisions like that, except old&stupid "wel

I agree with lupin_sansei. The article lacks a credible source to back up their conclusions. In fact, I believe just recently I stumbled upon some numbers that suggest otherwise: because of the Internet people get caught up in the net of

I don't have Java. I also don't have pliers, hammers and I am totally fine with screwdrivers and nails. :-) I don't use Java because it is too limiting, resulting in inferior/average performance (R&D team's performance, not code's).

Exactly. There is a lot of things going on for Facebook. I hope some day it will be revealed, who started this giant PR wave promoting it and who stands behind this hysteria. I am not commenting on Google vs Facebook nonsense anymore.

Facebook, unline google, is just a message board. You can talk all you want about significanse of social networking online, and how it "changes everybody's life", but significant or not, this is social phenomena, not a technological one
