Honestly, I haven't heard a single positive quote come from that guy. I'm pretty sure he just hates the world.

No, they just only bother reporting on bad things he says.

Perhaps, but his general choice of words make him sound like an angry person. Maybe it's all in my head though.

Last week, Verizon FiOS announced speeds (for some users) of 300Mbps. Now the price has leaked: $205 per month, plus some installation fees in most cases. [ITworld]

In some asian countries, 100 Mbps is considered average. England's is 3.6 Mbps. Terrible.

Not as long as 20 Mbps is sufficient.

Acer s7 Touchscreen Ultrabook[^]Quote: Acer says the 11.6-inch S7 is "the world's smallest form factor ultrabook with touch," measuring a scant 12mm thick (the 11.6-inch MacBook Air is 11.8mm, for comparison).
A powerful ultrabook with up to 12 hours of battery life and a touch screen for Windows 8? I think we are finally seeing some good market competition in the laptop space. This is going to be a good summer.

Facebook has released a library of C++ software components used to help run its site, the social networking company announced Saturday. By releasing this library, called Folly, Facebook will be able to release more of its internal programs as open source, because they rely on different components in this library. [ITworld]

Funny, I thought Folly was their IPO...

ha. I knew that was going to be said sooner or later...Facebook is going to be going the way of myspace sooner or later

Apple and Microsoft are both releasing cryptographically signed versions of their operating systems. Two companies. Two effectively identical approaches to improved security. But, here is a thought that struck me... Waiting for the other boot to drop.

Documentation for code libraries is generally improved with the addition of sample code that shows how those libraries are used. When using XML documentation comments, three tags can be used to incorporate examples within the compiled help file. WTFM so others can RTFM and learn.

I love being super fast in the shell so I decided to do a new article series called Bash One-Liners Explained.
In this series I'll use the best bash practices, various bash idioms and tricks. I want to illustrate how to get various tasks done with just bash built-in commands and bash programming language constructs. Read > Learn >> Master

I’m going to assert here publicly that I believe virtually all software that is created today is of relatively poor internal quality. Feel free to disagree, but hopefully you will at least grant that poor quality software is common enough to warrant discussion. Given that we as an industry produce loads of crap quality software, the obvious next question is: why? Click the link to find out... Error. Abort. Retry. Fail...

Of course. And its downstream costs are astronomical.
That's how the system works. For example, Bill Gates got rich by rushing out crap. He built the ship that leaks like a sieve, and we get paid (a lot) to man the pumps.
The other answer is it's not that we're lazy, it's that we just don't care.

Microsoft’s Imagine Cup brings students together from across the world each year, in effort to use technology to solve the world’s toughest problems. Here are four of the finalists projects. Which of these ideas do you think could have a lasting impact? When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master.

A hands-on assessment of Apple's pioneering, ill-fated Personal Digital Assistant, twenty years after its original unveiling. Anyone who calls it rubbish didn't actually try one in 1992. It was brilliant.

Microsoft announced Thursday that the next version of its browser, IE 10, will ship with the controversial “Do Not Track” feature turned on by default, a first among major browsers, creating a potential threat to online advertising giants. You could Google it... but the ads might not be as relevant.

I enjoyed the David Fincher remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo more than I thought I would. Rather than a shallow and cynical Hollywood cash-in, it's actually a tense, atmospheric, only slightly voyeuristic crime thriller. My favourite part, though, was when Lisbeth Salander begins to solve a 40 year old murder cold case using SQL. Dial MySQL for murder.

People who have never tried this before will learn enough to be able to download Windows installation media, hunt down drivers, and reinstall their own operating system. Technical users who have done all of this before can pick up some information about how Windows installation media and the Windows activation process have changed since the Windows XP days. And everyone should come away with an idea of what goes into installing Windows from scratch on a new PC, and just what that $99 will pay for. I'm Earl Scheib, and I'll repave any PC for $29.95.

I'm just having trouble dealing with the paradox. If we know they're behind the Facebook crash, then they're not anonymous. And if they're not anonymous, then anonymous isn't behind the Facebook crash...
