Yeah they do!
Wow.
Another point: You need game developers to work full time on your project and preferably be local.
This applies to apps too. Here my simple logic. Android phones are available for free from carriers. Thus, the typical Android buy is more price sensitive. They are more likely to choose free content & apps. iPhone…
It's interesting how inventions from the early part of the 1900s are becoming more useful today. I remember reading an article which stated that engineers were re-discovering mathematical models from the early 1900s for…
Facebook is not boring but I do think the Fan pages have way too many updates. They get in the way of updates from my friends.
Excercise daily!
I'll probably open mine in Pleasanton or Dublin, CA. It is 30 miles NW of Silicon Valley, give or take a few miles. Here's why: - Employees can get to these two cities using BART, 580, 680 or ACE trains. This allows me…
I spent a year or so networking heavily. I was a freelance developer hoping to meet businesses to work with. I did not get the results I hope for. The networking events were parties not business events. People just…
My answer: No. We still have Verizon and Sprint. We may get a duopoly in 5-10 years, but for now, AT&T is not a monopoly.
"Fast Paced Environment" means: 1) The specs are not in place 2) They are a software company, mostly 3) The managers are not really managers, but engineers who were given a battle field promotion 4) They have a set of…
We used Amazon and got bad performance in the beginning too. It is bad when you pull files out of S3. By bad I mean the latency is high. We tried GoGrid and they lost or crashed our server instance. I've personally used…
The worst program I ever worked on was spaghetti code with HTML, Javascript, PHP and PERL all entangled in one file. This was in 2003. In 2010, I encountered something very similar at a well known start up. Some things…
My favorite is: system("/usr/bin/seq 1000"); Only thing is, the interviewer would ask, "How would this work in Windows?"
I've been to Dubai. It's boring, very boring. The shops & malls are too expensive. The non-Arab "residents" are mostly people stealing from their homeland and splurging in Dubai. It's really sad. Don't get me…
Bad missteps at Yahoo!. Apparently they have a new faster e-mail. Yahoo email in Flash/Javascript + visual ads really ruined my experience with Yahoo.
Sweet...2Gbps wireless bandwidth!
Sleep rocks! I am in the 2.5% that sleep 8 hours or more. I am much more productive during the day as a result. I am alert, my brain spins faster and I can take on more challenges. My friend is a superstar…
The learning curve on git is high, but I understand the benefits. We use it at my current company , but we do make mistakes with it. Windows + SVN is so easy to use (and so entrenched), I'd recommend to new developers…
Keep it simple. Hopefully they did not use AJAX to serve static content.
Businesses should use Groupon to bundle deals, not selling single items for deep discounts. This increases a businesses' volume and transaction costs go down per sale.
Video formats should be open and free to use/redistribute. Otherwise, startups can't get off the ground quickly (YouTube being the exception). Charge for encryption/licensing formats.

If you don't want to code, oDesk can help you prototype quickly...just stick to a budget!
I watch a lot of moves from the early 80s, Back To The Future I is my favorite. What we (Americans) had then and now has not really changed much. Items are either faster, larger or cleaner looking, but they essentially…
