The more I read and hear about Howard Schultz the more of a hero is becoming of mine. Pure genius. I will be drinking a lot more Starbucks coffee to support this company.

Here is what they should do: 1. Become the #1 go to place for Arduino. Stock every Arduino at all times and sell it at the same price as online stores. 2. Create unique and interesting Arduino add ons that are only available at RadioSha

In my opinion, subscriptions are a net win for everyone. For the following reasons: 1. They allow easy access to upgrades, and make it far easier to make sure everyone is on the latest and greatest (you aren't paying for every upgrade,

Unfortunately, getting promoted, and moving up the chain has nothing to do with how hard you work or how qualified you are at doing the job. It has everything to do with what how people think how hard you are working and how much they

Microsoft needs to stop trying to create an OS - just throw in the towel. Take BSD or Linux kernel port WIN32 on it and be done with it. They make almost all of their money on Office and Exchange anyways. I mean this is what Next/App

Basically the problem is everyone is looking for the "Rockstar". News for all the employers out there -- if you want to the best then YOU have to be the best. If all they are hiring for is someone to write a web front end for a

In order to for people to really understand C and be proficient in it very clearly, I always recommend that they learn the basics of programming (memory, basic types, looping structures and array manipulation) in a simple assembly language

That is my point exactly! As you stated, it is not designed to be used. I have huge respect for Jonathan Ives. Steve Jobs is quoted as saying "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." I thi

This to me does not really strike me as some Mr. Ives would have had a large amount of time in, and quite frankly am shocked that he put his name on this. The Leica M has had pretty much the same dimensions and design for since the 50s (sav

This is why I just say pay people a livable wage and forget about all of this bullshit - the only people this helps are the business owners. And lets face it they are already getting way too many tax breaks. The waiters will get screwed a

I get excited not, because I revel in what it was like. I get excited because everything that was promised in the day I opened that C64 and connected to a BBS via a 2400 baud volksmodem is coming true. I am living my childhood dream, and t

I would recommend "Assembly Language Step By Step, for Linux!" by Jeff Duntemann -- covers 32 bit only, but is an excellent introduction to assembly language on the Linux platform. I learned assembly language on X86 when he had the DOS edi

I have to completely dis-agree with Woz here. The scenarios he is bringing up are things that a typical user of an Apple product would never ask. 95% of the people just want to look up contacts, addresses, movie times, sports info, schedu

This just goes to who that we are now in the fabled post-pc world that everyone has been talking about for the last 10 years or so. I disagree that the iPhone is at a lower price point -- if you factor in the cost of a data plan on a 2 yea

I know I'll get down voted for saying this but I just have to do it - could it be that developers no longer want to work for boring corporate assembly-line level "lets make yet another database front-end for yet another inventory management

Except for one big difference -- today, I or the company I work for, doesn't have to own "the mainframe". Basically its a return to the "mainframe" with the cost and exclusivity. That is a huge difference.

Well if the artists start releasing albums that are worth buying, then this wouldn't be an issue. Seriously. Name an album released in the past two decades that is even close in scope and depth to Led Zep I-IV, or Dark Side of the Moon, Ja

Because for most kids who are going to college it isn't about learning or preparing for a future in something valuable. It is about "learning about yourself", "gaining independence", finding a spouse, or simply getting to party for four ye

The problem with MBAs is that they think you can only learn what a typical MBA program teaches in business school. I learned everything that the authors learned in business school managing my own successful open source project. And I didn'
