That is really a great news to see Trello taking off now on its own. I really like the tool overall and used it my self for my own purpose. Unfortunately to use it in a larger company, it is a more difficult situation since there is no host

I think both side can be argued. On one hand I really appreciate how quick movies start, and I was initially quite impressed, and like the OP I had to check yesterday my Comcast Internet setting for a different reason: I was quite surprise

Great to see an API improvement for DO! But at the same time, I wish they will provide a few more base features (at a price of course) like an equivalent of S3, EBS and load balancing. With at least those services in place, I will most like

And to be clear, yes CoreData was launched on Mac OS a while back, and then added to iOS, but CoreData is in fact way older than that. CoreData is a descendant of EOF: Enterprise Objects Framework that was created at NeXT, during the Object

Interesting to see JetBrains coming in that space. Their other IDE are really great to use, and I can see where they could compete with Oracle SQL Editor. I use it from time apto time, and try to stay away as much as possible, but knowing J

My backup strategy which so far I am happy with: - on my Macs use Time Machine even on my MBP using a NiftyDrive with a selected set of folders that are important since the NiftyDrive is limited (currently I have a 64Gb) - remote with Crash

WebObjects 4.5 anyone? For those not familiar WebObjects was the Objective-C framework created at NeXT for developing Web Apps in the 90's. It was then later on ported to 100% Java. WebObjects 4.5 was the latest ObjC version and was cr

If they are able to get the UIKit framework up and running, then they will have the killer platform overall. I can see already the advantages for games that are mostly OpenGL but with UIKit it will be 'game over' :-)
