Just be prepared for the scenario where both Zynga and Instagram were substantially overvalued. Just because Mark Zuckerburg acquired a company for a Billion dollars that had NO revenue, NO customers, and NO business, doesn't mean the rest

Apache and PHP were not made with Websockets in mind - they're stateless, whereas Websockets messaging typically requires stateful persistent connections. This is a big reason a lot of developers are using these new web architectures (Node

If other audio recording apps (I've never used any) work just fine then any excuses Apple uses to not support Siri the iPad is a load of bullshit.

Oops, I've actually never used it. So I guess Siri should be able to work on iPad 1 also. Anything Apple says about the hardware being incapable of using Siri sounds is probably a load of their typical bullshit.

I don't care about new iOS features, or any of their iCloud nonsense, I know it won't support Siri (ipad1 lacked a microphone). What I do care about is the web browser on my iPad not receiving any software updates... ever. That's a serious

iOS 6 is not compatible with: iPad 1 Damnit, did I just have an aneurism? Seriously, the iPad 1 isn't old (or doesn't feel old to me), and it came out around the same time as the iPod touch 4th generation, which is supported. I'm

Inside the box, you'll find a mobile Core i3 processor What? That's 2 generations ago. I have a 3 year old Atom system about that size. Sure, an i3 is faster, that's nice, but just let me know when Intel's top-of-the-line chip ca

If you use Chrome or Safari on MacOS 10.8, they uses the new mini-scrollbar in the browser. Removing those old-fashioned scrollbars dramatically improves the look of web UI's.

The driver-less car seems like just a side-project of Google's primary business goal: to steal Social Network marketshare from Facebook in the form of shoving Google Plus down our throats. I mean, what's more important, innovating and givi

I don't get it. Sounds like you want me to target one person to spam or stalk each day. But if I already don't talk to these people now then why should I do it through this website?

Groupon isn't a stupid company, it's a great idea actually. They turned down a lofty Google offer and decided to go the IPO route. Only time will tell if their business can last, and not get eaten alive by competitors. I think it's a good

Their trademark probably shouldn't have been granted. This company didn't trademark the word "Who", they trademarked "WhosHere" which is quite obviously a different word. This reminds me of McDonald's who go around the world suing every c

Tmdb and their API is awesome. But I wish they would provide a dump of their database. I wonder how did you get a copy of all their data, did you build scraper and grab every movie?

Raspberry Pi makes products like this completely obsolete. I see nothing here worth paying an order of magnitude more money for. Google seems to have a really bad habit lately of building products that nobody wants.

I just love when job ads require 2-3 years work experience, but also have a requirements list so long that would take 10+ years of dedication in 7 completely different, or contradictory, disciplines to qualify for the position. Now Hiring:
