Whoa. Let's not forget that 80k/year puts a person among the top 0.78% richest people in the world. [1] Just offering a bit of perspective. [1] http://www.globalrichlist.com/how.html …

Here's another vote for SilverStripe. I've run it in production for a year and a half and been very happy with it's performance and caching options. (You can do partial caching all the way up to a ful…

You are conflating facebook and the internet. That traffic would NOT return to the mail service. Remember, there was email before facebook messaging. The phone services still have major SMS traffic an…

I like distributed teams because they force you really figure out communication and your team processes. It's hard work, but the reward for getting it right is that you have access to talent all over …

I think you are on to something about the loss of focus. My kids seem to always need two screens going when they watch something at home. I'd fight it more, but I'm bad about it too. As for the CG, th…

Nope, it was the Flash runtime. That, and the fate of being a plugin that provides functionality that the browsers would eventually make part of the core rendering engines.

Those are fantastic quotes, some of which I'd never seen before. Thanks for sharing them.

Please don't embed videos coding videos so small that you can't read the code. And please add some commentary rather than a techno track. I got no information at all from the video.

Since Chrome quietly updates, how do you think they'll handle updates that have significant UI changes? I guess you can have new versions have some features opt-in? That's what they've done with the G…

That's fairly standard legalese for large companies. I'm not saying it makes any sense, I'm just saying I've seen it a lot. I believe this is an attempt to lay some groundwork to support the removal o…

A bit of trivia: MYST, the CD-ROM game, was first shipped for the Mac and written entirely in HyperCard (with a few custom extensions to load the color graphics as quickly as possible).

True, but I always like to see a link to the original source if its obtainable.

This comment is a parody, right?

I've worked on a few cloud icons and I can tell you it's a tough problem. The two things that most describe the concept of a cloud in an image are color (white on blue) and shading to suggest 3D form.…

That's great and free for payments between friends. Love it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Looks like it's Canadian banks only?

There's not really enough information here to tell. Are you getting negative feedback from people who have actually used / tested the product or is it just people opining on the idea itself? Now that …

It is. What's impressive about Siri is not the speech recognition (although it's pretty good) but rather two new elements that I haven't seen done as well on another consumer device: 1. Interpreting t…

Counterpoint: Having been irrevocably harmed by modern medicine, I encourage everyone to always be a skeptic and a self-advocate when undergoing any approved or alternative therapy. Do research. Get…

An aside: This may have been discussed before about WSJ, but /article/SB10001424052970204226204576600863260993384.html has to be one of the worst URLs I've seen. What system is it that builds those fi…

I think metro is very minimal and very clean. But it's also... cold. A bit too austere. The goal for an interface isn't to impress--it's to connect. Somehow, I've never felt a sense of connection with…

Seems like the modern Microsoft is willing to inject a surprising amount of humanity into their projects. Wether you agree with the new direction or not, you do have to applaud how bold they've been r…

I don't really see the point of this article. It's not the difficulty of your solution--it's the quality of your solution and whether it resonates with customers. I've seen some very profitable startu…

"It is a beacon of progressive hope in an otherwise bass-ackwards state." If you thought about it, wouldn't you say the same thing about Portland or NYC?

And most of California is nothing like LA or SF! This drives me a bit nuts... I've done a ton of traveling, and while I think you can generally and accurately describe life in a certain city, it doesn…

This is a really good point and often overlooked. A native app gives you a sense of ownership--a subtle yet powerful concept that attaches value to the application. I'd like to think I'm above such ps…

Ethical track record aside, players and coaches don't get to officiate games; active investors don't get a free pass to be journalists in the same space. He KNEW he'd have to leave TechCrunch for the …

I was just going to post the same comment! 1) Quietly and privately agree on his role, then 2) stage a public melodrama for traffic, and finally 3) bring the drama to a resolution favorable to both TC…
