Four major tech companies including Apple and Google have agreed to settle a lawsuit accusing them of conspiring to hold down salaries in Silicon Valley, just weeks before a high profile trial had been scheduled to begin. Work in tech in the Valley? Grab a piece of that sweet, sweet pie.

Vic Gundotra, who aggressively led Google into the social world with the creation of Google+, is leaving the company. Gundotra+ is no more.

Probably because it's a soul-crushing failure. The only way they could get people to join was by force. Just ask any YouTube user and content producer.

Good. Can we revert now to normal Youtube comments, please?
And remove all the G+ things that spread like the zerg creep. And creep was nice compared to this.

Maybe now with 1200 guys they can make Chromium buildable without excruciating pain.

Remembers me Woody Harrelson "pervert is back", when he fired the VP.
"You're fired.
You! get the f**k out my building!
Get him out of here! [...]
Throw him into the incinerator, cut him to little pieces and feed him to animals out there [...]."

Broadband Internet service is still painfully expensive in the United States and to make matters worse, a new study shows that most American households aren’t getting the fast data speeds they are paying for. But "the one giant caveat in this study is obviously that it is completely unscientific"... so yeah.

I actually get slightly above the speed I am paying for occasionally. Most of the time it is slower (slightly) though.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

"broadband" is by convention any connection speed of 1Mbit or above. Legal definitions may vary from country to country, but most of these laws are old and not future proof.
And ISP contracts usually state broadband and a "maximum speed". They never say when this maximum speed has to be obtainable. Could be in 5 months, could be never... 
.

|
|
Oh. and don't forget the "fair use" clause they always include. If you're downloading/uploading massive amounts of data 24/7 they can throttle down your speed...

Apple introduced a great new user interface scheme in the iOS 7 Mail app – swiping left to reveal a menu with multiple actions. This tutorial shows you how to make such a swipeable table view cell without getting bogged down in nested scroll views. Swiper no swiping!

The other day Apple released a major security update that fixes a number of terrifying things that can happen to your OS/X and iOS devices. You should install it. So far beyond the historical reason for the handshake it's time for a new term.

In the old days we had some really awful JS being written on pages in a pretty ad-hoc fashion and it caused us huge problems. Full of passion and curses, but is there truth?

It's the old meme!
Before I had a problem, now I have a problem factory! 
Seriously, I suffer from these enterprisey people in my project too, they want all of us to add complexity for the sake of complexity (not for the sake of solving any particular problem)... Ho well fighting the good fight! ^^

Facebook has acquired the motion tracking app for Android and iPhone ‘Moves,‘ the startup announced today via a blog post. The company’s founders say that the Moves crew will join Facebook’s team to “work on building and improving their products and services” and that the Moves app will continue to operate on its own as a standalone experience.
What's App, Oculus and Moves? Facebook is on a shopping spree

The official joke any time robots or artificial intelligence comes up online is “Skynet.” We all have a laugh about the robot apocalypse, then it’s back to dreaming of robotic housekeepers. We have to destroy the arm and CPU
