It is silly to assume that more SDKs = more developers .

None of the SDKs are simple to use. The Webworks doesnt work behind a proxy. Ha. The whole process of signing your applications is so bloody time consuming and complex that I havent bothered to upload my apps there.

thank you.

I think Meteor and YUI3 deserved a place in there. Their exclusions slightly makes it not-so-credible review.

Link doesnt work. To build something that is called "chrome killer" you need to first put up a functioning website in place guys. Someone needs to be fired.

Please use the word "real-time" as it is used in CS literature. Or use soft real time when you just mean fast.

Apple has been consistent in it's policies. It has always been a closed castle. That is one reason why I haven't spent any bucks buying Apple products. One good thing about their consistency is that their browsers and other software is pretty good. Safari is much decent browser than crappy IE.

Microsoft on other hand has always grown with partners. They are not a closed castle. So when they try to gag a great software like Firefox I am upset.

This comes at a time when Linux based OS like Ubuntu are perhaps as good as Windows 7. MS is hurting itself.

I just hate the headlines. In one of the first lectures in my post grad school our prof. told us how to critically examine research papers and claims. He said "If anyone claims to come up with something "revolutionary" you should be 10 times more skeptical about his claims. It is very likely that the person probably doesn't know what he is talking about."

Of course in these cases the news reporters are to be blamed than the scientists who worked on the proble,.

YUI3 documentation. ExtJS Documentation.

That is not true. YUI community is pretty vibrant and the developers go out of the way to help you.

We have done this for many of our projects and saved a lot of money and time. And actually it had only a marginal effect on our site statistics compared to the efforts we had to put into testing and developing for IE.

I am a loyal blackberry user and personally feel it is a nice phone. However I am unhappy over the fact that the company doesn't seem to give a F888 to it's users. For example the cheapest Android phone in the market that act as a Wifi Hub but my blackberry curve 3G cant. Also, most of their OS update come separately for each carrier. That is outright nonsense. While Email is their strength they have done very little upgrades to their email interface.

One feature that I want to see is, the dates in my emails should be highlighted and I should be able to directly put reminders in the calendar application by selecting the date. iOS does it but BB wont.

I wonder how many SKUs RIM must be maintaining and this must be damn complex for them. Besides they should understand that their brand does not have any value anymore and hence stop seling crappy phones at such a high price.

YUI3's APP framework is also a good and IMO a better option.

No. In my opinion its just betting and that too in place which is controlled by few. Unless I have a lot of money I wont invest in stock markets.

I agree with you so much that I dint even bother to read your post. :D

I think a large portion of online life is already ruled by Google. I will never use Go only because it comes from Google. A mobile with Google's OS, a Google browser and Google for email and now we will also code in a language controlled by Google?

I have nothing against Google, but as a community of web developers our interest lies in diversifying and ensuring that no one gets more powerful than us.

Also looking at the features of Go itself, it seems to me that the languages caters to many needs of Google and not many of us may have those needs.

Government was forced to make such decision because Bayer sold these drugs at a price unaffordable to most Indians. This to me seems like a very stupid decision from Bayer's management. The shareholders must act against the board now.

however because of such decisions companies will find it risky to invest in life saving drug research. I think government should also take some steps to win their confidence.

Thanks a lot. It needs to improve a bit I guess but a great beginning, always wanted such an API.

I got my bachelor's degree from a college where in one course we were supposed to learn Java. The teacher use to write the example code from the textbook onto the board and then dictate short notes on concepts like "Inheritance" , "Encapsulation" etc. According to her Interfaces in Java existed because they enabled programmers to overcome the lack of multiple inheritance. You can implement as many interfaces as you want but you can inherit only one class. That was her argument. My college was ranked 60th best college in the country that year.

People should anwer the question asked and not go tangential to the question.

Too less too late. They should focus all their energies on BBX and be a lot more developer friendly.

HN is used by a miniscule number of internet users almost 100% of HN users are pretty much aware of SOPA and why it is bad. Shutting it down even for a day will actually help the government because we wont be able to discuss why SOPA is bad for that particular day.

HN should be up. Instead of going dark, a better thing to do will be to declare the day SOPA protest day and post links/discussions related only to SOPA. Or get prominent people to write/live chat/video chat about why SOPA is bad.

Indian government has designed laws that can prove anyone to be a criminal. Most of the laws haven't seen any reforms since the British formed them. IT is one field that has grown so much in India because government never planned for it neither made any laws. Now things have changed. Government wants to extract rent from every business in the country.

Departments like Income Tax are completely discredited. Given a choice as a citizen I will trust the roadside thug more than a person who calls himself income tax officer.

Income tax department in India in not known to be diligent in any sense. They havent been after A. Raja., Kalmadi, Sheila Dixit , Chidamberam, Robert Vadra etc. But the moment someone refuses to bend before the mafia government of India they suddenly get active. Very fishy.

Incometax department in India is a harlot working for the Congress party government which itself is ruled by an Italian lady suspected to have Nazi and KGB connections in past. Any business, person standing against government receives income tax notice. A people driven movement Indian Against Corruption was also targeted in similar fashion so was Yoga Guru Ramdev baba. This is India. One of the most corrupt country in the world.

This is awesome. Good work.

Shouldnt the "Art" school have a website with some basic sense of aesthetics ?

Look at how Quora does it. It is the best way to do it.

Wikipedia is not a profit making organization and their commitment to keep the content free and accessible is admirable. Once I start earning I will donate lot more to them. I will be happy to see them not having advertisements.

Very thankful for this.

One Noble prize given for the research that said best way to achieve your goals is by working on a goal to procrastinate even higher goal.

Secondly, I remember reading a research paper that said, whenever you have a task at hand which you want to procrastinate at least give it a start. Urge for postponing the task goes seriously down once you at least start doing it.
