I think it's Oracle. It usually starts in the accounting department. Someone from Oracle calls them up and convinces them that they need to spend oodles of cash for a financial package, but that package requires an Oracle server. Now, they

I don't know why this is not being responded to. It is evidently very important. Would it help if I shared a university study that focused on the Android? http://www.appanalysis.org/ It states, and I quote: "Using TaintDroid, we studied 3

The font looks too Star-Trekkie, somewhat Romulan in fact. Nice for a logo, but sucks to see that on all the windows. Remember Nautilus? There was a particular version of Ubuntu that shipped where Nautilus folder doubleclicks kept opening n

Prediction: ReactOS will be little more than an OS used for running Windows-less video games that were designed for Windows. In the time spent fiddling with it, you could have just purchased and XBox and been done with it.

As a developer, I try to "get in the minds" of other developers sometimes. I try to think, "If I had to build this same system, and ensure it was tuned properly, how would I be building it?" However, I interact monthly with other SEO guys a

I recently googled ugg boots and found that the lawyers for UGG told Google to de-index some sites that had ugg in the domain name. That's uncool. I knew a guy who had "timex" somewhere in his domain name and the lawyers for Timex did a cea

This is autoblogging. This won't work. Google will see the blog theme fingerprint and will either lessen the index or de-index. Also, the dupe content is another factor that gets you de-indexed. Now if they used a generic, common theme, and

Because you need to hit bottom first on this issue before finding that bottom and deciding, enough is enough, and moving on. Just like you're beginning to do now, in fact, by making this post. Trust me -- many people have been here where yo

Do you guys feel what I'm feeling? I'm feeling a general lack of mindshare on new development and new technology coming out of Microsoft. Linux, Mac, and Droid is where it's at -- where developers are flocking because of the cheaper costs,

Oh that's just crazy. I just clicked that link but didn't click Confirm because ?u= is someone else's user ID. What's sad is that because it's numeric, you can run down a whole list of IDs, opting people out or in. So what's k stand for, cr

When you add everything up, there's no way that Apple can maintain dominance here. I mean, Google's Android is going to kill Apple's mobile OS. It costs manufacturers virtually nothing to license and use it on their hardware. And China is g

As a web developer, build a cron in /etc/crontab to do an rsync compressed backup of your /var/www to Dropbox. You can even improve upon it by storing files for each day of the week, overwriting previous files.
