I had exactly the same thought, and I upvoted it too! I thought my comment would get downvoted to oblivion as well, but I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling nostalgic. When the meme isn't even features on KnowYourMeme.com, you know it's ol

Some Gruber's articles feature a lot of insight, and are highly enjoyable. And some of his articles may be easily dismissed as blatant fanboyism. Unfortunately, this is an example one of the latter and not the former. I stopped reading afte

I scrolled all the way to the bottom of the comments, getting more and more depressed thinking as I'm the only old codger who remembers this meme. I am happy to find out I'm not the only one!

Couldn't disagree more. They are so far above Maxim, FHM, Men's Fitness and other trashy magazines that it's not even funny. A lot of times their writing is absolutely spectacular. In particular, works by Tom Junod, A.J. Jacobs, David Grang

> usable (not the mac version, though) Heh. Obviously as VLC's developer you know better, but FWIW I've been using VLC on Mac OS X extensively, as my primary video player. I don't think it's unusable, or ugly at all.. I can't be the onl

The article missed a pretty significant counterpoint, which I'm surprised wasn't mentioned here so far: Viaweb. As Yahoo Stores, it went to become a de-facto leader in online stores, which it's still is to this day.

This just made me very depressed. Very, very depressed, because it hit so close to home.

Making money with a product >>>>>>> making money with consulting, and I say this as an owner of a consulting company. If we had a product like PT (which is excellent, and we use it daily on all our projects), we

I was one of his early readers, and used to love his stuff on productivity and personal development. I even tolerated his articles about astral world, lightworkers, law of attraction, etc. But when he posted a glowing "review" of a scam lik

You should put SPOILER somewhere in the beginning of your comment, because it does contain them, on some of the best parts of the game too

> Mr. Ferriss used a hormone-slash-drug called human chorionic gonadotropin and more than tripled his semen volume. “Happy days,” he writes. This is where I lost it.

I'm not sure they'll lose every developer to Linux. App Store will provide incredible exposure for their apps, which just may make it worth it for them.

I'm in the same boat - this has finally convinced me to give it a serious try. I've been using Google mostly in "private" mode in Chrome/FF for a while now, but that's not a real solution.

Me too! Punch cards and punch tape.. rolls and rolls of it. And for me, it was 88-89, because Russia was (and still is) a backwards country.

This is great.. the only thing I don't like is how you have to register to view someone's profile. Seems like you should need to register to message them.. how am I supposed to be interested enough to sign up without seeing any profiles?

I think we would have heard about it by now... I don't think they have nearly the culture of secrecy like Apple's, yet look how far in advance things leak out from there.

There's another option, without having to learn how to program. Be good and make money at what you do so you can afford to pay good programmers what their time is worth, so they can make your idea happen without too much hassle. (Disclaimer

You are misinformed. > Most companies post job listings on their own websites. Yes, but this doesn't mean they publish ALL their job listings on their website. This is simply how the industry works.. ask any recruiter.

This is a really bad article. There are so many ways recruiters add value. 1) If you apply to places like Goldman Sachs off the street, chances are your resume is not going to even get a look. Of course, if you know somebody on the inside,

It's at their clients insistence. Most recruiters would be absolutely happy to reveal the name of the company, however if they did, those companies would not do business with them anymore. The reason the companies don't want to do that is b
