I don't see how it's similar -- dribble is about other designers and their creations, revealing nothing about the underlying css/graphics. If you want to discover a new designer, you go to dribble. If you're a designer yourself, you go to

wouldn't microsoft (bing), google, walmart, etc? I think this is why startups exist...

The great developers would not be attracted by this tool though since it basically commoditizes their talent. It's sad when recruiting innovation basically revolves around getting people to take more exams.

So it's basically like topcoder.com -- do you know any great developers that use that site to get noticed? Neither do I.

you can still have junk facebook accounts, the sign up process is slightly longer than hotmail's, but not by much. I still have around 15 junk facebook accounts or so... I only remember the passwords for about 3 of them.

windows is definitely easier for newbie developers, but once you start to want more tools, the unix env is still the best place to be. It's like trying to use vim when you've eclipse all your life. Vim plugins have all these "requirements

Maybe he doesn't live in the USA -- other countries (like china) seem to have less percentage of bike injuries compared to here in the USA. People are blind to anything but cars here.

It's probably just vocabulary. We think startups as tech-related, but there's probably just as many new companies created in the restaurant sector as ours -- and they have their own restaurant investment companies.

Just like google wave isn't dead yet -- the apache foundation will continue wave... yeah, it's dead jim.

What planet are you on? Have you ever viewed a youtube video before? Fire up activity monitor and watch a youtube video -- your cpu utilization will hover around 30%. Poorly coded apps have much higher cpu utilization. However, if you f

If so, they'll need to rehire all those people that left the company a few months ago. A friend of mine who worked on the stylus interface left a month ago, and I doubt he'd return.

Most great inventions/products start out being available to the wealthy before being cheap enough to be accessed by all. I'm sure you think of lightbulbs as commodity items now, but back when the first few lightbulbs were manufactured, onl

Yes, but for how long? If I was there and saw one side of the team cut, I'd start polishing my CV. Maybe HP moves the software people around so that they never get "cut", but honestly I don't think there's much hope for anyone still worki

The problem is, #3 is a huge unknown area. I've had good and bad experiences with #3. When I started doing contracting as a student, I could afford to take those crappy $1000 14-day assignments just because I didn't know what the hell I w

Most flash apps today heavily rely on hover-over events. Try using any current flash app without sending hover-over events -- it's difficult. On youtube, you the volume control and time scrubber are hidden from view until you hover over t

Where are you pulling your hunch from? If anything, most of the ruby & node developers came from the back-end world of Java. I know I'm one of these people. Backend java developers have to use configuration heavy IOC frameworks like

When I was there last time, all of them were hiring managers and not recruiters. I ended up with 6 companies trying to recruit me, 3 of them were from startups I had never heard of. It was kind of cool seeing companies fight over you, sin

What's so hard about objective-c? If you stay mostly-in-objc, it's not much different than ruby/python -- it's just method calls with named parameters. If you use any framework in ruby, you're probably already doing something similar sinc

Supposedly the deal applies to previous employees as well. An ex-googler friend of mine was notified presumably so that he might actually come back.

Pretty cheap in mountain view. I pay around $600 for rent (2 bedroom with roommate). Food prices are actually comparable/cheaper than other places in the US. If you shop at those asian grocery stores, you can get similar produce at about

I'm guessing you only read the first page of the article. The real meat and gist of what he was trying to convey was in the second page, where Facebook was compared to Nantucket Nectars. The movie "review" was just there to catch user att

There are plenty of smug C++ developers out there but nobody really gives a crap about it. There will always be smug people, but who really cares?

I'm sure VA will view it as a nightmare -- how else would you call it if your company name was negatively mentioned in the top tweeted article of the past 2 hours?

There are other ways to reprimand someone. Do we really need to arrest someone for "not closing their laptop quick enough"? Should we start arresting people who drive 5mph over the speed limit? Seems like when we're in the air, there are

Yeah well, is it really necessary to arrest someone over an argument? If there were really no laws broken, then it sounds like some distressed worker decided to go on a power trip. Hopefully Virgin America does the right thing and fixes th
