You really should give it a few hundred more pages. I guarantee it will grab you at the end it is kind of a slow burn though.

If the iOS model of a locked down consumption oriented operating proves to be more profitable that is what Apple will focus on. Its not evil or wrong it will just be what makes the most money. Its really that simple. Apple isn't out to m

Yes it is. They make much more money off of iOS than they do Mac OS. Therefore, Mac OS will become iOS because Apple isn't your friend they are trying to make money just like any business.

You are making a mistake in not realizing that is Apples end game to make Mac OS much more like iOS. Don't you think they realize how much money they are making off of iOS developers? They want the same thing for desktops. Not to mention

Buying Lion with the proposed changes is voting with your dollar that you want more of those changes in future iterations. Not buying it and switching to something else says that you don't like the product. I use Snow Leopard right now bu

Yes, however I think the changes being made are definitely putting Mac OS on track to become a lot of more like iOS in future iterations.

It looks like I will finally have enough motivation to finally switch to Ubuntu. I just don't know if I can handle not having full control over my machine.

It really is. Social Network is going to do for our profession what Wall Street did in the 80s for Investment Banking.

Both the articles statement were vague I guess, however I was referring to getting lost in thoughts and the trap of trying to figure everything out before making your move. I really am starting to find that is not have conscious thought ab

I think it will inspire a bunch of people to try who will never in a million years succeed. It will also make it crazy easy for coders to pick up girls at the bars.

I disagree about getting lost to find yourself. Sometimes you won't be able to get back out a self dug hole without a helping hand.

It's too bad OpenID isn't cool. The Social Network movie is just going to exacerbate people's infatuation with Facebook and social networking in my opinion. This will lead to the common person being even more accepting of Facebook becomin

I just finished up working on a project for an entrepreneurship class I am taking. The basis of the project was to promote various deals from local college town restaurantes that were being offered through a online menu service called Lion

Yep, it is off when it isn't and use. It does affect battery a little bit but I have found it be negligible.

I have an 80 gb intel x-25m in my 13 inch MBP but I also took out the superdrive and installed a 500gb live in an enclosure in the optical bay.

I am not really sure why this died? Ten minute demos are just not enough time to judge a game.

by jpdbaugh 16y ago
I often find demos to be misleading of what the final product will be like. Games are expensive, at least for me, and demoing the final product is the only way I will know for sure that I am not going to waste $60 if I decide to buy someth

Shop for a fraternity wisely. How well you respect and enjoy being around the guys is far more important than the fraternity's social status on campus! I think that is the most important thing to remember.

I think there is a definite difference between positive hazing and negative hazing. Positive to me would be dropping off the pledge class in the woods or something and having them find their way home. Negative would be sexual abuse. I th

The only apps I have purchased for a real amounts of money are from Rock or Cydia. Most of them were $10+ and to be honest I use them everyday. Apps such MyWi 4.0, My3g, IntelliScreen, Wifi Sync, and many others get daily use from me and

The only way to fix this is for Pirates fans to stop going to the game. As a Pittsburgh fan and living there for a summer I am pretty confident in saying Pittsburgher's will never quit going.

This is so true. I have a really hard time getting my girl friend to understand that I can't carry a conversation while coding... I brought it on myself trying to work in the same room she does though. If I could I would 100% have a priv

I had a ton of the trouble learning rails and it actually took me a couple of attempts. The most affective thing for me was just starting a project and taking it slow trying to do everything the "rails way". Learning rails for me was a tr

Have you actually used a Kindle or another device with an e-ink display? It is uncanny how simliar it is to paper. It literally looks like a piece of paper morphs into new page when change page. It is really out of this world. Anyway, th

I am not sure if there is that much of a practical difference between having a backlight or not. As someone who reads a lot of fiction though the Kindle experience feels exactly like a paperback with the added bonus of a dictionary and not
