If they don't deliver some kind of post-mortem for this, the problem isn't likely to go away.

What a fantastic read; I can relate to going back and trying to relive that sense of wonder in a certain place or time, whether it be retrogaming or booting up MS-DOS 3.3 and System 7.5 after my wife and child have gone to sleep. It comes b

IIRC, in the larger Google Doc cache of their Core documentation for Angular 2.x, they've stated in the manifesto of sorts that, well, that "easy shift" may just not be possible. Primarily when it comes to migrating existing

It was a hypothetical and tangential case based on the parent comment, so let's get back to the original context where there is a more clear-cut conclusion. When it comes to security, the accountability dynamic between personal investm

Or you could just hire a single person with domain expertise as a consultant for a given time to staff the group and end up with a presumably high-quality in-house kitchen staff from the start. The consultant moves onto their next gig after

We're looking at the first top-tier market adoption of a home automation system, albeit it amongst two, soon to be three, products and the opening salvo that'll really stir the pot with other players (Honeywell, Apple, et al.) and

Growing up isn't about not partying. It isn't about being boring. It isn't about getting married and churning out children. It isn't about being "the man" in any way. It isn't about becoming a fiscal miser

Cringeworthy, and about a year and a half too late to even seize on pop-culture relevance.

Having worked at a rendering plant for a couple of weeks during my (late) teenage years as an industrial temp worker, well, I can tell you what comes out of those places beats just about anything imaginable. Manure pits? Slaughterhouses? Wa

It's great to see someone else mention SixDegrees; it's the progenitor of the modern "social network" as people relate the term today, although I'm not sure it ever attracted many teenagers in the late 90s. Hard to

Your approach is wholly impractical on its face, actually. So, let me get this straight: You laid down tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle that you only post-purchase read the manual of, and you're raising this as some sort of st

Bootstrap doesn't care about your environment, can be abstracted easily into automated Grunt->Assemble generation (amongst other flows) using JSON data as the informer, works with an immense amount of different use cases, has highly

No, no it wasn't. HomeSite existed as a separate product well into the 2000s, although stagnant as all get-out as the competition trounced it: http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/ I still remember owning D

Just checking out the trailers, it actually pains me to think that this series might never see the light of release. Wow.

That's partially true; webOS 3.0 has no Java as far as I'm aware, deferring to node.js for its services instead. webOS prior to that (e.g., Mojo era) contains an absolute trove of Java all over the damned place. I remember dissecting the me

It's not difficult to ascertain that ACCESS/Palmsource very likely granted unconditional use of the patents to the existing Palm that sold those very patents to them, therefore giving it basically unfettered rights to defend itself against

I could see Amazon using the card metaphor as a custom multitasking Android launcher with full power of a pending patent application behind it while ditching the remainder of the OS. It's the one distinction webOS has had in UX and one that

You realize most of Palm's pre-webOS patents weren't even owned by Palm by the time it was sold to HP, right? These guys (formerly Palmsource) own most of them: http://www.access-company.com/ All that's left are the webOS-centric patents
