Gates is one of those rare people who is at a time a good developer, good manager and a cunning businessman. I started to appreciate him after watching Triumph of the Nerds documentary series. I literally loled for 5 minutes after watchin

I think it is a bad decision from Facebook to go after Social Fixer. From the Chrome extensions page they have ~200K installs. This is peanuts compared to Facebook's user base(compared to Google where number of Adblock installs are ~4

Well Chrome had this feature for a long time. Personally I don't find it much useful. But to me the killer feature of firebug is that when you open an XHR entry in new tab it opens the tab with all POST variables. Super handy when debu

AFAIK hhvm doesn't have namespace support yet. So Symfony2, laravel, ZF2 can not be run in it. But basic PHP performance would skyrocket I assume.

Also the violated patents are owned by Samsung. So this is the result of going "thermonuclear" against android. Irony hurts.

I could not install it in my work machine as the OS is windows. As a replacement I use neocomplete.vim[1]. It is very fast, responsive, has fuzzy auto-complete. But it requires vim version greater than 7.3.885 and vim compiled with lua bind

Yes, that may be the case. I am not taking side of Microsoft. I agree that if Microsoft have won antitrust lawsuit we would not be in current highly competitive situation. I am pointing the fact that people should have complained same way a

I think Mozilla have made a big mistake by not complaining about bundling Safari in iOS devices. It looked jokingly funny when they attacked Microsoft for IE bundling Windows8 RT when they had 0% market share. Now look at the market, Androi
