Try dodging a 100kg man armed with 5kg rock. I had to do it once while wandering the streets of a big South American country. If I had a gun I certainly would have not killed the bastard as just waving it should've solved the situation. Ins

I didn't type because I'm on an iPad, and we all know how good is to type on screens. Maybe the app should acknowledge the fact that it isn't very good pinpointing the user location, and based on what it already knows, suggest neighboring p

Guns kill people. Knives kill people. Rocks kill people. Truth of the matter is if people want to kill people they will use any weapon available, even their bare hands. Sure if governments all around the world ban guns people will kill less

Whatever is done I hope they never allow people talking on the phone inside airliners. We don't need more annoying people taking long conversations by phone in public enclosed spaces as they were in their living rooms. It's either that or I

Very cool stuff. But it makes me want another computer with a few more kilobytes of ram, a z80 inside, and a k7 tape recorder for permanent storage. :)

Don't forget to pack a compass next time. If you ever run out of batteries just the map isn't enought to provide precise directions.

It only clears your browsing traces locally (history, cookies, cache, etc). Everything else can still be tracked on server-side. BTW, every private browsing mode that I know works pretty much that way. In the current model real privacy can

On the iPad it even blinks when scrolling. Though, it's a cool design.

Vertical line right in the middle. Like the OP said, once you see it you can't stop seeing it.

Another grandiose city project like the Russian ones from the soviet era, just more Chinese. I wonder what these guys are smoking...

Great! That's just what I was looking for to try again this awesome IDE. Thanks for the input!

Too bad you felt offended by my use of pronouns since I evidently wasn't speaking about you. Just because you're a developer doesn't mean you're the representation of an entire group. Perhaps you never heard about Behavioral Economics [1],

Just because developers have been treated as a commodity it doesn't mean we are. Sure I don't feel so. Do you? Anyway, we have to change this as it is not right. We put a lot of effort to make good software, and cutting each others throats

Just get a warrant, raid into their server rooms, and don't forget to tell all about it to us! Now seriously, the government got too big. What are you going to do about it? Caution! Everything you say here or anywhere is being recorded, and

Like monkeys trapped in a little room, we killed ourselves until there was just 25 smart monkeys left. Kudos to us in markeiting and pricing strategy. In this process we also programmed people to relate software to free content. Good luck t

In the case of media companies vs Google, and Amazon vs everybody else, I think they deserve for not innovating their businesses, and leaving customers in the cold. Now for Starbucks vs traditional cafés, just make better coffee. I doubt St

This is really cool. I really hope you guys pull it out! But I still think the best way to fix team chat is to give people free beer. :)

Not many, and that's a good thing. The floppy icon only didn't represent well the abstract act of saving files. As it turns out it's just plain better present to users a button with the clear text inside, save. Or completely remove it from

Yes, both sides are bad. But only one of these can lock you up in jail for whatever reason they want whether or not you're guilty. Besides, if you want to avoid having your data collected and possibly sold without you conscent just stop goo

Sure they aren't, the difference lies on what they do with the data. While Google will use that data to show you harmless text advertisement, the FBI might use it to backup a phony case against you, that can ultimately put an end to your fr

Sure if you look at the demos, and quickly read the docs all is fine and dandy. But did you try at least to code something with that junk? I did, and wasn't pretty. JS as currently stands is not mature enough to support something complex as

In other words Jobs successfully pulled a Kobayashi Maru. I think his second coming was brilliant, and will be taught in business schools in the yers to come.

And here we go again, another design by committee to haunt us. If this piece of crap sticks we all will have to keep using HTTP 1.1 which by the way isn't that bad. First web sockets, and not this. Just great.

Yes, it is scary. But you forgot to add that give or take half the time doctors don't have the slightest idea of what they're dealing with. However, the thing gets even hairier when you talk to med students. Most of the one I've talked told
