In most other countries that eat a much, much, higher percentage of saturated fats that us westerners, also have little to no heart disease. Why? Because they don't eat sugar! The latest studies show that a prevalence of sugar in our diets is what turns LDL cholesterol into its artery clogging form. BTW LDL cholesterol is also needed in our bodies. However, if we eat sugar it causes the LDLs to break down and attach to the arterial walls. These aren't outliers, just real world examples of how people around the world have eaten for years without developing diabetes and becoming overweight.

Good question and answer at the end of the article. Fat is not what's making Americans fat. It's the prevalence of carbohydrates in our diets, and overeating of the same. I was in KY last week interviewing my great aunt who is 108 years old. Do you think she never ate bacon, beef, etc? Haha, their diets would be today's poster child for meatlovers. They didn't eat too much sugar, or carbs, but more importantly they never over indulged, and worked hard everyday.

Now, we consider an 8 hour day in front of the computer as a hard day at work. But eat like we've been working in the fields...

This is the exact problem companies wishing to develop useful programs face everyday. Now we have a consumer base that only buys because of hype/something going "viral". If you do create something beneficial one of the only ways to be noticed is to treat what you develop as one if those "candy" apps. The words software, and programs have disappeared.

It's still a bit of a gold rush, and investors mean well. However, there needs to be more innovative thinking on their end as well. We don't need a new photo sharing program, or ways to post a picture online. It's funny that this article uses weightless angle be because all of this technology has made us, well bigger. Technology is great, but it's time we get back to solving real problems.

BTW, I'm looking for an excellent programmer for a new project!

It's so funny to see how the design of the early cars resembled horse carriages so closely. Being an amateur photographer, old photos never fail to amaze me.

I wouldn't work with a programmer who believed so strongly, against, commenting source code. In the long run, it probably saves more time than it "wastes". If someone develops proper habits writing sufficient comments, then writing them becomes less of a hassle, and more of a better business practice.

Let's not forget that writing comments and notes is not unique to computer programming. Most professions, law, medicine, must create notes, and comments to understand the work at hand. Those who don't, or refuse are looked at as lazy and unprofessional.

I don't want notes for every single line of code, but for sections of complicated code comments are a must for ease debugging, or future modifications.

I actually took pictures of the first people in line, waiting outside of NYC's 24hr Apple store last night - one of our rainiest nights of the year! You can check some of the pics out on my flickr page. #candyspan

Amen to that! It's creating a killer app, by coding, which makes an app worthwhile enough where marketing and promotion almost become moot. I'm currently trying to update my own app after outsourcing most of the code. It's good, but I need other things that people want to talk about. That's what separates apps that sell, and those who don't.

Do you actually have an app currently on the app store? I've run into none of those problems. In fact, any time I have an issue with anything, they are very accomodating. Especially, expedient considering how many questions they get daily from developers. If it's as you say, what reason would there be to ever develop on their platform? It simply would make sense!

Where did you find the homework? I've downloaded all of the classes, and slides, but I wondered if I could find the assignments someplace. Of course, I'm assuming that you didn't actually take the course at Stanford...

The only difference, however, is the "mistake", as the author puts it in the article, made the mistakees a TON of money for a long long time. Reading music, and financial analysts are so far from each other, that the analogy struggles at best. Good attempt, but working in the industry as an attorney for a couple of years, these mistakes are named so to cover up the fact that they finally got caught!
