* "My maternity leave will be a few weeks long and I'll work throughout it,"* I made some remarks here a few weeks ago (on another article about Mayer) regarding her views on working long hours that were not well received. I'd like for this

Autodesk wrote my favorite mobile photo filter app: Pixlr-o-Matic. They've made some really interesting contributions to the mobile imaging space, including Sketch, a drafting tool for phones and tablets. Another competent company in this s

Is it possible that Yahoo is just too far gone to be helped? Her head must be filled with dozens of ideas for changing the corporate culture there, but would any of us honestly believe anything could save Yahoo at this point?

I doubt it. If Viacom is financing the hosting of the online content, then online viewers cost them disproportionatly more money than those who watch on cable and satellite. Viacom would have only the ads insertted into the streaming video

Could this point to an imminent Jelly Bean release for Nexus devices?

Google's customer service isn't the issue here. They offered the product for pre-order without making any statements about a shipping deadline. To then turn around and expect them to set one just because you gave them money is foolish.

But, why? Is the product alone not enough for your money? If you feel so strongly about this, why not wait for it to be released officially before making the purchase?

For what it's worth, I've been recently finding this same thing lately when turning on my Galaxy Nexus' screen. I've searched through these dumps a couple times trying to find what might be causing them, thinking I have a misbehaving app. I

Testing views and data binding is great, I'm all for it. Yet, I think most would agree that this clearly is not unit testing. The instant you include the Spring dependencies and instantiate your application context, you're testing the int

But, this isn't math! It's a story, with characters and a plot. The intrigue is baked-in because it makes for an enjoyable read. Sure, the details are interesting, but there's nothing wrong with telling an interesting story with interesting

No. Long-form journalism is about keeping the reader engaged in a story they didn't know they wanted to hear. You wouldn't write fiction with a strict focus on the sequence of events, why should this be any different? While you're feeling p

The article doesn't mention anything about the physical dimensions or the power requirements, but I wonder if putting this on a mobile platform would be at all practical. It's one thing to put them on common storm paths, but imagine aiming

It always involves some amount of suffering. Entire generations of people have found themselves in a life dedicated to an obsolete skill. Does that mean we should limit the use of, say, printing machines so that people may be gainfully empl

Why? When did it become a universal truth that human labor must be employed in producing the widgets we consume? Throughout history human labor has been replaced by automation. Some pain is always involved, but society eventually repurposes

For what it's worth, I don't agree with you at all . It's like you're saying that the best chefs are those who hate cooking the most. It's a ridiculous notion that betrays a misunderstanding of the relationship between what we do and what

Another criteria, perhaps... My wife loves to use Big Oven to find recipe ideas. I thought I'd also start using it so we could share those ideas more easily. When they rejected my password for having "invalid special characters" however...

This reads like a allegory for Hell. How to love working 18 hours a day could almost be the title of a satire novel on the failings of modern office life. The fact that she lived it and looks back on it fondly doesn't, in my mind, reflect

Okay, I'm still confused. Is it "iMessage for Androud users" in that it automatically recognizes other MightyText users and sends those messages over the data connection? That point isn't especially clear. Also, why is there so much emphasi

Color me disappointed. The blog makes some nebulous claim about Cue retaining Greplin's features, but makes no specific assertations about the future of search. If you're retaining those features, why have you made them inaccessible? The Gr

Is a project like Voyager worth repeating every so often? Speaking in financial terms relative to other space ventures, would it really be all that expensive to launch a deep space probe every few years and send it hurdling off toward some

How are the statistics from which these visualizations are generated captured? Does the NBA have equipment on the court or in the arena to track players and the ball (something like how professional tennis is monitored)? Is it manual, with

To me, that sounds like a market problem. I routinely pay more than twice the going rate for standard produce precisely because I recognize the problem cheap produce presents. I'm not suggesting that most people would make the same decision

Why does anyone make a bad business arrangement? Farmers aren't the first entrepreneurs to misunderstand the limitations placed on them by contract, or to accept those limitations in exchange for fast liquidity.

People love to focus on the money aspect, but I'm interested in the content of this damages claim that was apparently accepted by the court. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anything about the specifics of those claims.

I do not see Valve releasing clients for every distro out there. I guess that would depend on how the client software is built and if they utilize the shared libraries included in the Linux distribution. If dependencies are compiled into
