I sometimes bang my head against the wall when I see stuff like this coming from Google, they should have higher standards. The lack of class keyword in JavaScript is not the problem, if you want that so badly, because you can't code in any

> Callback-heavy programming is what you get when your language doesn't support better ways of controlling context. UI programming is callback heavy, but I doubt that any language will support "better" ways for that. So basically UI pr

If the browser knows that the tabs.html is a reusable component that does not have changing content, it can cache it very intelligently. Also if someone builds a tabs component and hosts it on foo.com/999/tabs.html (CDN) which you use, your

You mess with a US copyright maffia, your judge gets bribed you go to jail in the US where you have no means of defending yourself. Makes me think the US is no different from all those neo-communist governments in Europe.

The update rate of Android is really disappointing, Google can't even update the Nexus phones in a timely manner. They are heading in a good direction, but they should have done some stuff sooner, they should have ported Chrome earlier, the

Guess what, some male programers earn more than double than other male programers "doing the same job". Most salary negotiations are private, so if any conclusions are to be drawn it is the fact that women are 5% less effective at negotiati

If you don't have to actually play a game like Dragon Age(by being able to skip combat), it just becomes an interactive movie. I think having really low difficulty levels is lot better than taking the gameplay out of the game, of course you

Google can't track you unless I put Google's code on my site to make money, otherwise I wouldn't have my site and you would have nothing to read. I have a fine idea: why not block a whole site if it offers a 3rd party cookie? I mean if the

When people can't handle their problems, they turn to their made up god, most of these people are cowards, because instead facing their own issues, they brainwash themselves to get the responsibility off their backs. As for the moral side:
