That's pretty fascinating.
At least in my own experience, I talk to myself without actually making any sounds when I am thinking (in my head, so to speak).
I never really thought that others would do it differently until this post.

At some point I suspect gravity would override the masking sense of motion that he talks about.
Very interesting though.
For instance, in a couple of my projects, we aimed at a small subset of users (autistic and/or adults with disabilities in this case) who would have a good reason to have JS disabled (fewer issues without JS when using some screen readers, for instance). For this reason our app uses no JS unless absolutely neccessary - and in those cases we do checks for users to transparently skip the sections of the site that need it.
Personally I'd be very interested in comparing ZFS and Btrfs without jumping through a bunch of hoops to do so.
We've proven time and again that those run exponentially and are not perfectly accurate, especially in the presence of a dynamic environment.
I'm not so sure about that. Yesterday's analysis seemed to predict some questionable usage of H.264 bits in the encoder.
Mozilla does not pay a vast number of developers to head in one direction on Firefox - it asks the community nicely if it will head in one direction (because of Chrome's performance advantages, 4.0 will heavily emphasize that direction). By nature, this means that the Firefox codebase is going to be more fragmented than Chrome's. Things like comprehensive performance enhancements will be correspondingly tougher to do. The advantage of this is that there is a much less rigid steering committee - community developers on Firefox are free to go do whatever they want. The results are a slower, but more customizable browser.
I suspect that Chrome will probably end up with a bigger market share within 5 years, just because of Google's financial clout, but I doubt that Firefox will disappear completely.
After all, if OS X, with all of Apple's resources, couldn't wrap up much developer support, what hope did Linux have?
Absolutely fantastic news!
The depiction of one of today's most derelict inner-city neighborhoods is heartbreaking and disconcerting.
Even at "max diversification" of their platform, it seems unlikely to me that losing their Facebook platform wouldn't be a crippling blow to Zynga.
How many 15 year old girls are really going to want to go to a completely different site to play Farmville? 5%? 10%? Zynga's demographic primarily seems to be whatever the exact opposite of "hardcore power user" is.
Granted, depending on how draconian Facebook's take is, that 5% or 10% might be enough to make them more money, but that seems somewhat unlikely to me.
I stopped eating fast food about 3 years ago, and I have felt healthier ever since - I didn't change any other significant part of my diet/living situation - and I've only gotten sick once or twice, my migraines have decreased despite the added stress of college, plus I've become a better cook.
I also find it hard to get overly worked up about it - it seems like a reasonable inconvenience to put up with for the ability to watch newly released features at home.
Digital usually looks better anyway.
