This person (jackg) either does not know or realize that a great software engineer can use any platform, language, and tool to do whatever she needs to achieve. I'm also not a big fan of his own choices of "trendy" technologies. This post a

I'm not sure if I can totally agree with the author. I understand his pain, but email isn't the most secured place. If your email is being "watched" by someone else, then that someone else can access other web services that you own WITHOUT

Can you elaborate more on why Rails might be a better option than ASP.NET MVC for creating "the next hipmunk"?

It's too early to say anything about Office on Windows 8. What Microsoft showed today was Windows 8, not Office. I'm sure Microsoft will has something for Office on Windows 8 with touch interface in mind. So far, I haven't seen any good off

They probably want to align versions for Windows and Windows Phone. It looks much nicer when you say Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.

What we need to focus here is this...despite the decrease in PC sales, Microsoft managed to grow. They did not just grow a little, but they grew tremendously. 30%? that's a huge number for a company like Microsoft. Nonetheless, Apple has re

"a lot of the shady business & licensing practices that Microsoft engages in" Um... you are wrong. These companies are all suing each other, and Apple is known for creating patents for every little thing they do in iOS.

I don't know... $0.50 (Bing) vs. $0.00 (Google). What is better for me when I can still find whatever I need to find in both?

I've been using Bing since I found the Bing Rewards ( http://www.bing.com/rewards ), which gives you a point per 2 searches and lets you redeem the points for something later on. I have not found myself going back to Google, yet.

I really hope that I'm not using anything you created on the web. I would hate to be a customer of a service whose owner think 150,000 users are insignificant.

I'm pretty sure they aren't making as much money as they want, though. If they make some deal out of Youtube, it would be win-win. Plus, another win for users (as long as it's free or cost at a decent price). I'm so ready to cancel my cable

Awesome. However, you said this is a "startup". How are you going to monetize this besides the obvious (ads)?

As a lot of people said already, this is very creepy. Yet, there will be tons of users who would use this... By the way, can you get notifications on multiple people? (now, that's really creepy)

Pretty cool. Why not have another column for comments instead of making users to click? Maybe put this as an option for users to select, because I'm sure there are a lot of people who are using widescreen monitors and are not fully utilizin

I doubt that Google ever tried to hire only MS/PhDs. I went through interviews and got an offer when I was only a BSCS student. I also know a lot of people who don't have MS/PhDs and work at Google. On your 2nd point, I totally agree with y

SO probably doesn't want too many unregistered users floating around. Also, one of success metrics for an Q&A site is the number of registered users. So, it does make sense to force users to go through almost painless process of registe

I went through 8 interviews (over the course of 8 months) before I got an offer from Google. By the time Google gave me the offer, I already accepted an offer from the other company. I told the HR of Google that their process sucks (of cour

Same here. I agree that IE6&7 were bad, but I didn't have to "hack around" for IE8 and IE9. Of course, if you do need to hack around, then you are probably not doing what is considered as "standard". A lot of things that we, early adapt

I doubt that's the case. When Microsoft needs something to be done, they would do it. If you discard all the technical mind and just think with a typical business mind, calculating the resources and cost to develop the new IE9 on XP, which

Honestly, I don't understand why so many people are frustrated about what defines the modern browsers. If you are not happy about a product, you don't have to use it. If you don't use it, the manufacturer will know that something is wrong.

by bkhl 16y ago
It's not that they "can't" but they "aren't". It's probably because Microsoft wants XP users to see all the new stuffs Microsoft is making for Windows 7. Microsoft is hoping that those users to change or try the newer OS. After all, IE9 is

I clearly see where he is coming from and I also believe that the metric Hitwise used is just BS...BUT! the more Matt becomes sensitive about Bing, the more pageviews Bing would get. I bet Bing got quite unexpected PR recently due to Matt's
