That's a great story. Thanks for posting it. Actionable material.

Start with a foot-bath. Probably just as effective if you are not commercializing it, and it would leave your hands free.

I noticed the article talked about dogs cooling through their feet. I used to work in a hot office, and the best solution to cooling down was to take my shoes off and have a fan under the desk. Luckily, I shower every day, and my feet don't

I say this somewhat tongue in cheek, but you wouldn't say 'improve' if you'd ever seen my wife swearing at her phone. My own app FemCal, runs pretty well on 3.1.3 on a 2G, but I think almost everything is a struggle for iOS 4 on the 3G. In

I speak from experience when I say, putting iOS 4 on the 3G was just a terrible idea. The 3G should have stayed with the 2G in being restricted to iOS 3.1.3, which whilst no speed demon, at least runs reasonably well, even now. The 3GS is t

Yes, I completely agree. If you have anything other than complete unconditional love for a child under about 10, then it seems possible there's something very very wrong. Its almost like he's talking about someone else's kids that he's baby

For something this lovely, you wouldn't really be stealing, just helping.

But that's just the thing. A lot of the stuff that many people have an emotional connection with, those products were driven by Steve, so people feel a connection with Apple and Steve. There's only a couple of inanimate objects I've reall

I just tried to play from Safari on my Mini. Check back later. Was working great on my iPhone 4. The wife doesn't care anyway. Oh well. Just a quick thank-you to Apple for covering the replacement motherboard for my 17" MacBook Pro, and kud

According to my wife, delivery confirmation on a parcel is around 20c, saving money against using registered mail.

I'm pretty sure I saw the "everything is a nail" type listed, which might well cover the folks that think Technology A is the be-all and end-all.

It'd be really interesting to know who would mod this post down, and why?

I'm acting to limit my daughter's exposure to TV, and this is a topic I'd like to make a more substantial post on, but until that happy moment, I'd just like to note that: "The real World often has a slight liberal bias..." edit: just sneak

Good Lord. That's incredible. Of course, I know how bad most C++ programmers really are, so it's particularly hilarious what he's saying. I wonder if there's a sort of Lake Wobegone World where all the C++ programmers are good, instead of c

Yep, who would have wanted a keyboard less net book that doesn't even run pc software? What an incredibly stupid and niche product idea! The spectators were terribly, terribly wrong.

Sounds like a fantastic idea. If you present it right, 5% is not that big a deal. Banks charge sometime $25 just to do a wire transfer, and for your 5%, you would still be winning at anything up to $500. $5 per $100 would be ok by me if it

I think your landing page could use a reasonable facsimile of your product running across the top of the screen. I appreciate it might need to be in Flash or in HTML5, but it might bump your conversion rate if your main selling point, "stuf

I'd love a cite for this. It seems really really hard to believe that Scott Meyer really hasn't got production code to his name, even as at least an occasional consultant.

It may be concise, but it is incredibly dense. I'm not sure there's a unnecessary word, let alone paragraph. It definitely rewards persistent study, I've been programming for years, and I still learn something every single time I dip into

The man seems to be an infinite source of eye-moistening stories. Really nice, thanks.

What kind of leap? The jump to an i52400 has been enormous for me. It's hard to imagine another similar one over the core 2 duo I was on before. Do you think AMD are going to be ready for memristor based memory?

Maybe I'm not running enough apps, but my iPhone 4 has always seemed pretty damn fast getting to 'ready to take picture'. That said, I'm really looking forward to the additional speed in the 4S and Siri.

This code is likely a mish-mash of 'solutions', frankensteined together from StackOverflow. It's kinda sad to laugh at crappy code from job applicants who may well be desperate for a job, but actually couldn't really program their way out o

I'm not sure many OS X users will enjoy that drawing much. It's just too damn jarring to see that thing pop-up. Pretty much the only place I see it is plugging my iPhone 2g into my Mac / Xcode.

The iPhone wouldn't be what it is without OS X. There's another thing.

Fantastic advice. No one will ever die unhappy that they took their own path. Terribly sad to have to say goodbye to Steve. Thanks Steve, for all your ideas, for your drive to make great computers, and for your attention to detail.

Tata should pump some money into the perhaps now forgotten Africar project. A plywood car might suck some of the perceived stigma off the nano. Perhaps though, it's time to think about alternatives to building yet more 4 wheeled polluters,

For the sake of accuracy, here's what I should have included: https://github.com/xdissent/ievms/blob/master/ievms.sh Easy way to set up a Microsoft (IE7/8/9) browser for testing in VirtualBox, if you are running on Mac OS X. Beware though

My thoughts after plowing through this, were that it's a shame the conclusion was at the end of such a hard-to-read article. If ever there was an article that could benefit from a solid abstract, this is it.
