Won't this just make consumers hurt at the end? The most reasonable option as a developer is just to mark up the prices by 30% and then say if you want it the normal price, too bad - Apple needs its cut.

Sorry, this is not your type then. I would definitely spend some more time to look into the applicant. Yes, for pure coders, this is a terrible resume. It looks like she is using the right side of the brain for something left-sided. But, th

Figuring out yourself is probably the best thing that you can do. A lot of people have the thought that their potential is limitless - this is wrong and dangerous if you equate happiness with fulfilling your potential. What helped me a lot

I used to play with scratch to test it out. I really like it - it is a real programming language, but the big difference is that the blocks tell you all the options you can do while a text editor only shows you white space. The blocks also

The git or mercurial teams should build a Google Wave robot that comes with the software. Not because I want them to, but because its a killer feature. :) Also for syntax highlighting - take a look at codemirror. I've used it before and hav

It looks like flowplayer built custom animations for themselves and decided to release it as a library. Good publicity and a well designed website. I think the library itself has great video support but not much else.

I would add that the original article is the perfect example of why a top-down argument is a not a valid argument. In general, you should never start from examples and work your way down to a bottom line - as this post shows, you can easily

I think its different for every person. You should find out what your tradeoff level is for comprehension/wpm, and how many phrases you can skip while still understanding the main points of the section. I think everyone can pick up reading

I think you're being close-minded. There's an underlying thought process that leads to these conclusions that you're missing out on. You're applying your view of the world to his conclusions and thinking them ridiculous. This essay is based

hmm is it romantic or pragmatic if you think of your spouse as a good friend/cofounder you can split work with and help each other out? I'm beginning to see no point in love - only solid, mutually beneficial friendships.
