Sure, there is variety but from a market perspective how many people really care about each of those special devices? The whole reason that Apple is so successful is they build the device that just works for most people out there. Most pe

Apple has iTunes which gives it a distinct advantage over competing with hardware manufacturers. Users care about content. Why else would the top three tablets by sales be the iPad, the Fire and the Nook? Android still doesn't have a via

This was more my point that I didn't get across correctly. When apps fail due to weird proxy issues they are incredibly hard to figure out and almost impossible to QA correctly for without a huge budget. And if this causes it, sure the Ra

As I currently work in the K-12 educational software industry this is something I would be extremely sensitive to. The sheer number of creaky, old proxy servers out there that we have to contend with is mind boggling. I'm sure others ha

Will take a look at it. Thanks! I don't always go up to the www version of blog.* domains and missed the sidebar.

I really like this idea. Does anyone know of a project that implements this? I did an initial search but nothing turned up but it'd probably be easy to miss it. In a way it reminds me of Rands' trickle concept of keeping track of work do

Could someone edit the link and remove the "print" query parameter? It's pretty annoying that the page pops up the print option on chrome upon loading.

I thought something weird was going on since the sohtonaka.com domain is available when I checked at namecheap.com. Then I noticed that both the tweet and the above message misspell sohtonaka.com - it should be sohtanaka.com.

But to be fair, unless you are really digging in and extending Spring you don't normally interact with these classes that often. That doesn't make the class names great but for most people Spring provides a lot of functionality and does si

Deuterium is pretty much everywhere. They generally concentrate it in water for most uses if memory serves.

Yeah but how long should I spend on software that I know nothing about the quality of if it's not easy to get up and running? Do you spend a day? two days? While it's mostly just from experience I find that virtually no one makes a decisi

Namecheap as well. I used to be on GoDaddy and sure, everything they do is spelled out but why do they have to make every transaction so annoying and difficult? So many screwy add-on options. Namecheap just keeps it simple to me. The onl

I have to agree. My first thought was going to be to disagree because I always just use something like view formatted source or something to look at my nesting levels within the dom but having it show nesting levels in place that has a tri

It'd be a major distraction, though. Setting up a separate support/services organization for that is not trivial. Also, most businesses buy from the Dells or the HPs because they don't have the in-house expertise to manage a more bare-bone

If I had to guess they are probably sub-classing the built in collection classes under the covers to add in metadata slots for things like type information. As long as they implement the appropriate collections interface or class I don't s

Don't expect the discounts to be that good the first weekend...I mean, the first weekend I went to one of the closing stores I could get most items cheaper on Amazon still. By the time they got to sufficient discount numbers anything I was

If you can't see the writing on the wall early enough to wind down then you really have no business running a business. Yeah, I could come up with some pretty out there exceptions to that statement but they are pretty out there exceptions.

I don't think that you needing to know that you are now part of an art exhibit that he is using photos of you without your permission is really okay as long as he'll "take them down" if you ask. There's a reason that tv shows and such need

The Apple Store is NOT a public place. Neither are their computers. Why would you even think they are? Can Apple ask you to leave their store for any reason? Yes. Could a private citizen or corporation ask you to leave a park? No. Th

Most of those units you see have been sold and are being sat on by speculators expecting them to go up in value since real estate is still appreciating like mad. Sitting in front of the news here in Shanghai this morning it posted a messag

I think it depends on the kind of web-site you are running more than anything as to which metrics are important. Just like in finance, depending on the business model, different metrics are tracked (e.g. free cash flow, revenue, etc.). Pl

MySQL takes this approach too. 5.5 went GA on 5.5.8 I believe. It can be a little confusing at first if you're used to alpha/beta/rc candidates but it makes more sense over time since you have a consistent numbering scheme vs. something l
