I don't know. I find (as an adult) I pretty much follow those same rules in my normal day-to-day usage of my phone (not exactly of course, but close). And I do that because of what I find to be emotionally healthy (connect with live peopl

I don't think she was saying never take videos, just be measured. I read an article a while back where the mom said her kids merely lived life as a source of content for their Facebook feed -- and I see the same thing around me. This pare

It's stupid crap like this that will result in a some-what useful tool like the petition system to eventually be completely ignored.

Do you work for Microsoft? Your comment: "Valid concern if adding an extra mouse click here and there bothers you" sure makes me think so. Yes, adding an extra click here and there is annoying, especially when it didn't add any extra fu

In my case, I sell my own software. So having a market that will buy my software is first priority. Providing support all day is not how I prefer to make a living. (that's fearful me talking) I'd love to know the percentages of independe

Thanks for that -- a bit surprising really (current stats show Linux users out giving the other two). Is that because they are more willing to pay for software as Linux goes mainstream, or desperate for games? (honest question)

The great thing about propietary software and one OS (Windows specifically, OS X too though) is people using those operating systems expect to pay for their software. I'd love to come out with a Linux version of my software, but I'd then b

His attack on using developer tools was harsh, but I'm over 30 so it didn't apply :) But seriously, I'm afraid he is close to the truth. As a career Windows programmer, I have great fear for the future after having tried the 2012 preview -

This is one of the biggest things I'm grateful my mentor drilled into me: Never make a quick and dirty solution that anyone else (especially management!) sees -- it will become the final solution.

My friend was in the right place at the right time, had a small company that made millions. He figured it was all him, so he spent all of his money on a second attempt. It failed, and he's back working a j.o.b. now. I wonder: If we could

What's most interesting to me is that my biggest markets (North America, English-speaking Europe, and Australia) are all still IE strongholds. http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-monthly-201203-201205-...

> Hopefully it will not be just a half-assed experiment again And that sentiment is _exactly_ why I won't trust my business to whatever they come up with. There's no knowing how seriously and committed they are. Sure, Amazon could do

If users can't find you, you won't be getting any more of them. Engineering is fantastic, but not much use without people knowing about your hard work.

I'm running it here in Firefox for Linux (Mint) and it's working fine.

As mentioned in the article, the PCDecrapifier is a really nice bit of (free) software -- I run it on all new Windows PCs (if I don't just format and rebuild from scratch). And the name is brilliant :)

I certainly didn't have a $10MM spend, but I also had dismal results for my B2B campaign. My takeaway is FB is purely a social place where people unwind and don't want to do any 'work' -- whether that is considering a product for their job

I saw a demo of this at Intel Labs on a Windows machine about 15 years ago and it was very impressive. I don't think they optimized startup, but application launch was incredibly fast with their disk layout optimization. Isn't this essenti

I'm getting ready to start an online forum, but I don't relish the prospect of having to monitor it for spam/abuse. It seems like having one person casually scan 10, 20, 50? forums throughout the day could easily keep the spam at bay, and

How long ago was 1992? Anyone that was working as a developer as recently as 1992 is now almost guaranteed to be 40+.

Although a good little starting point, this just helps you break even when considering your advertising expense. Are there other expenses? Do you hope for any actual _profit_??

Under a rock? Is git _that_ much better? I used to read about how it didn't need a central repository, yet this article, and github, seem to indicate everyone ultimately wants/needs a central repository. So git is worth switching just for
