Happy to see the iPhone app will be out soon too. Now if only I'd actually get my google voice invite I signed up for over a year ago...

Actually it does show the desktop, thats how sad it is. The guy made some rainbow colored Chrome OS logo which isn't even correct, google never uses rainbow colors beyond the "Google". It looks like XFree + some crappy mac-like window manag

I thought it was common knowledge that microsoft is announcing the RTM sign-off on Monday 7-13-2009. This has been known for a while. WZor.net has more information but they should be choosing which candidate build is the RTM shortly, and th

From google's blog post I'm under the impression that while based on a linux kernel it will have very little actual code from linux. It sounds like they are writing their own version of X with a minimalistic window manager. I very much like

Do you mean the idea of creating their own OS? Or the timing of the announcement itself? Obviously they've been working on this for at least some time now if they are releasing the code in a few months.

Taken a little bit too literally. I meant that he should share his dilemma with her. How she is a very important part of his life but so is the startup. However even if taken literally I doubt she would react the way you are saying. From wh

The first thing you should do is essentially read her what you've typed here. It sounds like your relationship would benefit a great deal from some openness. She isn't going to react to this badly. And in my experience with women, a little

This sounds like Windows Home, Windows Professional, Windows Enterprise and Windows Ultimate... Lent sounds more like a 1 shoe fits all.

It would be unreasonable to say everyone falls neatly into that category. I like the idea. It might make some iPhone owners more likely to lend out their stuff. People that wouldn't normally.

Checked out Newmogul. Love it. I really love the arc layout. Very little wasted space.

This made me laugh pretty loud in my cube. This is exactly like a lot of the applications at my company. Scope creep really runs rampantly during the development process here.

His first mistake was leaving Goldman to begin with. In my opinion Goldman is one of the more evil corporations out there. And there's no better place to avoid their bubble building and bursting than to work for them, depending on how you f

I think this resume stands out perfectly for the type of job he's trying to land. Sure this resume falls flat for a company looking for specific skills but I think this is more geared towards a company and position where they aren't sure wh

A good example of how to do it right. Replies like that will convert interest into customers.

I was expecting an article by someone arguing this point. Sadly it is just a screenshot of a typo on the internet.

This is the first link on google for "delete facebook account" It works. They deactivate your account for 2 weeks and then permanently delete it. Worked for me.

Looks like Microsoft is going to have to come up with a new angle of attack. Hiding $10,000 on an IE-only website doesn't seem to have cut it.

People test antivirus software by throwing a certain number of virii at it and seeing what percentage of those are detected. This is their detection rate. Just because Antivirus A detects 99% and Antivirus B detects 85% does not mean users

Standard executive talk. He's oblivious to the fact that many of the free offerings have higher detection rates than his companies products while at the same time have a much smaller footprint than any product they will ever make.

Always cool to hear what Stephen has to say but there isn't anything most of us don't already know in the article.
