They've only stayed somewhat relevant the past decade due to partnerships and these legacy sorts of services. I agree 100% with this. But what are they to do? They aren't Amazon. Try and buy Netflix and battle it out with all the other digi

I just bought a late 2011 15" MBP - stuck 16GB of RAM in it and it is so much smoother.

For every warranty repair I've ever done with a manufacturer they have asked for the HDD to be removed before sending the unit in. As a retailer, or maybe even just a drop shipper in some cases, I just don't see NewEgg doing anything other

I use my CR-48 as my normal portable laptop. I can code with web based IDEs, SSH into my boxes if needed and it has ~8 hours of battery life. I absolutely love the device, I just think any price over $299 is barking at the moon.

There is a reason that empty content (Reality TV anyone?) is very popular. People seem to really like it. There are a great many subreddits with fantastic discussions and information; most people don't seem to want to be bothered to learn a

Wizards are certainly never late. In seriousness; all job postings should be written by a member of the department hiring for the position.

All bitching should be invalidated on the basis that they added Blu Ray Disc support. Kudos, VLC.

Do you remember what computers were like before the Mac? Do you remember what all of Google's services looked like before they let a designer get a hold of them? Apple took technology, created by developers and scientists ('Nerds' for lack

I think its a matter of perspective. Where I went to college (evergreen.edu) they firmly believed in interdisciplinary study because approaching situations with one point of view necessarily makes you blind to others. There are worlds of es

Just as I suspected, this point is rationalized away with speculation. He said: “And we’re going to take it all the way. We’re going to the standards bodies, starting tomorrow, and we’re going to make FaceTime an open industry standard.” Th

"IF you go back and watch these, can you find a single lie?" I'm sure it will be rationalized as bad information or somesuch; but - open sourcing Facetime. The RDF is more of an exaggeration of the truth to the limit of the suspension of di

A lot of us would love to be able to chime in on EE, I'm sure. Not having a downloadable demo or some way of checking out without paying $200 makes it way lower down the list when you're looking for alternatives. I would love to check it ou

I'm always looking for a new environment; I recently installed Elementary OS and I'm stunned with how much better my experience has been. If you spend your planning time working backward from the UX you're going to give users a special trea

I think they are wary about being a has-been site like all the big networks before them. Whereas the other two failed to innovate quick enough, Facebook seems prime to innovate itself right out of existence.

Not to derail this, but there is a lot of idolatry surrounding Lincoln that he doesn't deserve. He was just a Politician; like all the rest.

It really isn't so much the religious aspect of Protestantism but the work ethic associated with early American settlers and the lack of fun they believed in. There is a really wonderful book by Harriet Beecher Stowe which outlines the live

"Don't try and compete on price." This is very good advice. We've been using Odesk for about 5 years now for overflow and large projects. From the buyer side of things, communication is key. If you can communicate well and promptly it will

I agree with you that they are trying to be classy. The problem is that they are just plain wrong and they have no supporting evidence besides 'OMGZ WEB SOKETS.'
