Here’s the thing – people like to say whatever framework their not using sucks. "Sucks", really? Two-way binding, route handlers, and dynamic events pushing data into a remote API within an hour - that used to take thirty years to do that and you thought you would die on the way there and have a baby. You’d be a whole different group of developers when you got there. We used to code twenty miles a day, uphill. Both directions!

Article seemed good until:
Quote: Just take 10 minutes and read the documentation!
At which point all credibility was lost. Documentation, who ever bothers to write that.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

He makes a point worth remembering (even if the documentation is actually non-existent).
To put it another way though, there's been many times when I curse something and it takes hours (if not days) to figure out the solution. If I change my mindset to be more open to learning and understanding, I find, over and over again, that I can get things working a lot faster. It's amazing how a simple change of mental state can have such significantly better results.

A new method that takes the pulse of the general public via Wikipedia activity can predict how a movie will fare up to a month before it hits theaters. Also: Elephant population in Africa has tripled over the past six months

When people download software from SourceForge, or any major repository of Open Source software, they expect the software to be trustworthy. (baring unintentional bugs). They do not expect the software to be a source of “drive by installer” style malware, spyware, adware, or any other unrelated/unintended software. "Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck"

Canonical's Mark Shuttleworth tells Guardian: US carriers and Asian handset manufacturers are interested in building phones with Ubuntu Mobile to capture 25% of smartphone buyers "Hope is a waking dream."

In his case, hope is a egoistic induced hallucination.

To be fifth (or sixth if you include Firefox OS) to a two horse race and expect to get 25% market share? Yup, that does qualify as hallucination.

Users want a real Start menu on Windows 8, and Lenovo, the world's biggest PC maker, is happy to oblige. It just announced that Lenovo PCs will come with the Pokki app, which includes a real Start button and menu, not the useless Start button that will ship with Windows 8.1. Even worse for Microsoft: It lets users bypass the Windows Store to download apps and games. For Those Who Do (want a start button)

Have you heard of Start8 from Stardock? If Win8.1 really doesn't get its act together, this will be on the horizon

I try to avoid things to do with windows 8 but sooner or later I will have to learn it to be able to fix customers systems.

Yahoo bumps Google from the top spot on ComScore's list of 50 most-visited Internet properties, a position held by Google since 2008. Yahoo is still around?

Considering Yahoo objected to the paranoid schizophrenics intrusions, and another did not... people jumped ship. Not to say everything is not "picked up" - but rewards go to entities with a conscience.

I’ve always thought that everyone should have the option to communicate securely. Once there was little chance any ordinary person would be able to figure out how to do it. Even for me, as a tech journalist who had learned both the theory and practice of secure communication, it was a challenge to get things working. And when I did, who could I talk to? Only someone else who’d traveled the same path. The pool of potential communication partners was too small to matter. We just have to get busy

According to leaked internal documents from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) that Die Zeit obtained, IT experts figured out that Windows 8, the touch-screen enabled, super-duper, but sales-challenged Microsoft operating system is outright dangerous for data security. It allows Microsoft to control the computer remotely through a built-in backdoor. Keys to that backdoor are likely accessible to the NSA – and in an unintended ironic twist, perhaps even to the Chinese. TPM deemed not T

Yes, like anything like this, the US government wants access, and that means others can learn how either through spies in the US government, Microsoft, or hacking the OS. I you want it done right, keep the government out of it.

Every month, people click the “Like” button on Facebook more than 80 billion times. They post more than 10 billion updates on Twitter, and they write tens of millions of products reviews on sites like Amazon and Yelp. And with every one of these social actions, people declare their affinities — their preference for or desire to connect with other people, products or things. "When two tribes go to war"
