Booz Allen Hamilton has 22,000 employees. I'm going to guess that the government won't see 2 of them stealing document and hence tear up all their contracts with Booz Allen. Also, the article said that Booz Allen is hiring a form

There seems to be a lot of commenters here saying Johnny is playing the long con. Whereas I don’t entirely disagree, I think they are missing the point of the story. The point is not just that Johnny’s life improved from below average to av

Another way Google Photos is transparent is the app will actually let you know that many of the photos on your phone have been backed up to Photos. The app will ask if you would like those backed up photos to be removed from your phone. (An

I got similar results. I took some sample code from the Apple SpriteKit documentation: CGFloat distance = sqrtf((clickPoint.x-charPos.x)*(clickPoint.x-charPos.x)+ (clickPoint.y-charPos.y)*(clickPoint.y-charP

I love the concept. There still seems to be some room for improvement, though. When searching for "Tom Merritt", it only shows podcasts that "mention Tom Merritt" as opposed to podcasts he's been in or hosted. I pla

Agreed. Though the article's title lists Windows XP as the city's major problem, it appears to be the least of its worries. The major bank I work for is just now standardizing everyone up to Windows 7. We've done the majority

If the Nexus devices were available for pre-order today, I would be inclined to agree with you. However, since they aren't available for pre-order until the 17th, the day after the Apple announcement, then I doubt Apple is worried. App

If the new Nexus devices were available for pre-order today: maybe. Since the Nexus devices are not available for pre-order until the day after the iPad announcement: unlikely.

As much as a portion of my mind wants to think this leak was a well timed attempt to draw tablet news in their direction mere hours after Google released information about theirs, I honestly believe it was just a mistake. Apple gains nothin

One of the few things I like about the Amazon app store is their feature called "Test Drive" which allows a user to test an app before purchasing it. One can not only test it on their device but also test it inside a web browser.

I see the echos of that enthusiasm in my daughters when they build in their Minecraft worlds. Notch's sense of wonder and joy of creating has been spread to millions.

I have 3 daughters, all grade-school age, and they play Minecraft more than I do. We talk about it over dinner and watch YouTube videos about how to build things. I've also seen them make quick friends by talking about it. My daughters

Same here. I'm a web developer in the US and I make $17 an hour... and that's at a major, international corporation. I think you and I are being shorted.

I agree. If Scalzi is saying that the cost of production should not alter the price of the product, then I would ask him why paperback and mass market prints of books are less than hardback books in regards to the price. According to his ar

For me, it depends on the type of book. I find I can bare reading a technical book online. However, I have trouble reading it for very long, I find myself skipping prose to get to the meat of the content, and I find a quick glance at my ema

In regards to the book's online version, I like how it has code examples that one can edit and run inline among the book's text. I often find myself, while reading a book on a particular language, opening up a new project in an ID

You definitely don't need network access. I use Google Authenticator on my Wifi only tablet. You need an internet connection to sync it to Google's key but not after that. And, yes, when the tablet's clock is off by a few min

Even if you exclude the first year of his life, that wouldn't change the "~11 a day" estimate by much. It might up it to "~12" a day.

Good point. I guess, on a very ground level view, all game concepts have more or less been around for years. It would be an interesting study of why this one went so big when so many others didn't. Also, I was thinking of more of a bla

Decoupling an app from the OS to update it faster is the reason they pulled the YouTube app from being shipped with iOS.

If that were the case, wouldn't they also not ship it with Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Calendar, etc.

Also, in most cases, is it the actual programming language we hate or is it the code we've seen written by people who had no concept of the language that we hate?
