TweedHeadson Steve Ballmer calls Apple's Mac growth a "rounding error"

Btw, AAPL went from $80 to $160 in just a quarter.

I guess Ballmer is banging his head against a monitor showing a Win7 screensaver for missing that opportunity to double his wealth.

TweedHeadson Steve Ballmer calls Apple's Mac growth a "rounding error"

Since January 2000 when he became CEO of M$, the stock went from $60 to $20 the first year, then flatlined for the next decade.

Ballmer is the only problem in M$, the worst CEO ever, and I will be very happy the day he steps down.

TweedHeadson Is Google killing general knowledge?

Google is an extension to my brain, which is running out of storage.

If I ever buy a tablet it will be an Apple iPad, no matter how expensive it is.

Would you stop flying the concord just becausse they don't serve pepsi on board?

More propaganda retardness.

The iPhone is the best mobile computing platform ever and everybody on the street loves it, they don't care about GV or your personal vendetta against Apple.

Switch to nokia and be happy if you wish.

TweedHeadson I Quit The iPhone

So he's been using the perfect phone for two years then a new service comes and gets rejected and he drops the best mobile computing platform ever?

I know everybody is milking the GV fiasco, but this borders on stupidity.

TweedHeadson What if: The New New York Times

No modern news outlet should have more than 100 employees of any kind. Period.

100 at the most, but you can easily run a media company or regional newspage with 10 or 20 employees.

TweedHeadson How Microsoft Made PHP Suck Less on Windows

Sometimes I run PHP on windoze, with Apache and MySql, no problems at all.

M$ from time to time tries to remove Apache from the startup services but that's a minor annoyance.

Who in his dubious sanity would run PHP on IIS and sql server?

What kind of twisted mind can do that?

M$ has done nothing as far as I know.

TweedHeadson How to render the Segway Human Transporter obsolete

Idea: remove the handle bar and use an iPhone to control it.

With the accelerometer and the compass it wouldn't be that difficult.

Call it a Tri-pad, sell it for $999.

TweedHeadson The Trouble with the Segway

For $5000 I rather buy a Kawasaki Ninja 500R and look cool.

Even ATVs are cooler and there are some new models coming that look badass.

Now, if it was $900 like a mountain bike, I may give it a try.

TweedHeadson Yahoo committed seppuku today

Jerry Yang would have never sold out.

Now this newcomer gets greedy, some money exchanging hands under the table and now Yahoo search is dead.

Carol Bartz? she will be forgotten quickly.

TweedHeadson Steve Jobs on why Apple doesn’t do market research

"Make the very best products. Business will follow."

Every startup should focus on that motto.

At least give me the option to customize the toolbar so I can put the buttons wherever I want.

TweedHeadson Font in your face

As a web designer here is my stance:

- I will only use free fonts

- I will only use patent-unencumbered fonts

- I will only use less-than-100k fonts

That's my credo.

TweedHeadson A is for Ajax and C is for Comet

I'd adventure to say by the end of the year all major browsers will implement WebSockets: Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera are working on it as we speak.

TweedHeadson A is for Ajax and C is for Comet

"What’s the future of Comet?" None.

It will be killed as soon as WebSockets get implemented.

WebSockets will bring the real-time web alive. It will be the greatest advance in internet since its early days.

Google Wave will ride on WebSockets. Web alerts will be the next gold mine. iPhone like push messages for email, feeds, etc., web chat without hacks, instant collaboration and much more.

We really don't understand right now the impact of the real-time web, but it will be pervasive.

TweedHeadson Microsoft's Windows Revenue Skids, Netbooks a Factor

The days of $100+ OS are over. They'll milk it the most they can but they better embrace for impact.

TweedHeadson Drag and Drop with HTML5 (plus source code)

Can I see the demo with the click of just one link?

Sorry, I have no time for free registrations or downloading and running something, I just want to see the demo.

TweedHeadson Computing with JavaScript Web Workers

Point taken, then let me rephrase that.

Threads we can fire and forget. Threads we can start "inside" our script and let them work while we do other stuff.

  myfunnyfunc = function(){/* do long funny stuff */}
  mycallback  = function(){/* do something when done */}
  
  mythread = new Thread(myfunnyfunc,mycallback);

Asynchronous like xmlhttprequest, just a way to replace the "settimeout" hack.

TweedHeadson Computing with JavaScript Web Workers

Taking a lok at it, sending messages back and forth is retarded. Just call the damn functions by their names with their arguments since the worker itself is already threaded and sandboxed.

TweedHeadson Computing with JavaScript Web Workers

I am waiting for that day, and I'm willing to collaborate on any project that bring JS closer to unify web development.

TweedHeadson Computing with JavaScript Web Workers

Why web workers can't take a function or an object?

  myobject={
    start:      function(){ /* do stuff */ }
    stop:       function(){ /* end worker */ }
    postMessage:function(){ /* communicate */ }
    onmessage:  function(){ /* receiving data*/ }
    onerror:    function(){ /* handle stuff */ }  
  }
  
  myworker = new Worker(myobject);
  myworker.start();
  myworker.postMessage("dostuff");
  myworker.stop();

Or something like that...

TweedHeadson Forget poll widgets - Prediction markets right in your website

Interesting concept.

I would refine it as a gambling widget (that's what it is) and offer a percentage to the host.

Grow it and sell the service to bookies, they'll love it.
