Yes, I know and you are correct. At a high-level, though, and in the case where browsers are the target platform, those aspects are largely implementation details.

First of all, I'm glad Microsoft is getting involved in this space. They have a deep talent pool when it comes to language design and tooling and it'll be interesting to see where TypeScript goes. Unfortunately, the arguments trying to draw

This is pretty cool. On the other hand, stop sucking up all the supply for Raspberry Pis! My order keeps getting delayed and it's making me sad.

The author's main point is that Expert's Exchange (EE) was very similar to StackOverflow (SO) until they needed to push up the S-curve from a profitability perspective. It's a valid concern since SO has relied on organic growth to fuel th

Yeah; I almost stopped reading the article because the introductory paragraphs (which you are citing) were rubbish. Now is a great time to be rich in the US.

Engine Yard's objective is to drive Ruby adoption as a whole. Everything they are doing with open-source aligns with this. Their current strategy seems to be based on three observations: 1. There are a lot of Windows users in the world and

In general, Wall St tends to use this nomenclature (i.e., $X billion dollar company) when referencing revenues . For instance, Procter & Gamble is referred to as an "$80 billion dollar company" - which speaks to revenue, not market cap

The government is doing this because the record labels are lobbying them to do so. While the incompetence of the agencies in question are laughable, the enemy isn't DHS as much as the lobbyists from the recording industry who are increasing

Not really, all this seems to be doing is programmatically adding spans with classes around letters/words/lines. The layout is still being specified in the CSS. I don't think it's really violating any 'rules' as much as just providing a bit

It's curious that so many of them are 70+ years old, which means they were the right age to benefit from the huge economic boom that occurred in the United States after World War II. Seems to support the hypothesis that success is equal par

This is exactly why systems like this never work out. One could argue that to-do apps like Remember the Milk would have cashed in on this if there was really a market for it. The problem is that, for most of us, our lives are the result of

The Stack Overflow guys seem to be building a healthy, if modest, business around Q&A based on an advertising + services (job boards, etc) model. Granted, I'm not sure this could grow into a billion dollar business, but it may be profit

Interesting data. My understanding re: Engine Yard is that Amazon only _invested_ in them (starting with a $15M Series B) and that they aren't a majority owner. Am I mistaken on that?

While one can't deny Grove's possible bias, the rebuttal seems to miss that his primary point is that technologies evolve, so that today's "low-value" manufacturing expertise often leads to tomorrow's breakthrough technology. In other words

It's Bob Walsh's new project ( http://www.47hats.com/ ) and pretty much a direct competitor to the Micropreneur Academy ( http://www.micropreneur.com/ ). I haven't subscribed to either of them, so can't speak to the quality though. Seems to
