That reminds me of references a friend used to give questionable employees: "I cannot say enough about the person's diligence, ability and work ethic."

In conversation with author Tim Ferriss this week, Mullenweg elaborated on some of his productivity hacks, including his now-famous stint with the “Uberman” polyphasic sleep schedule. I'd try that, but then I'd be sleeping 48 out of every 24 hours

Oh, this is interesting, because I am just creating my own blogging app -- seriously -- because I hate WordPress so much. PHP! ha!
I just want something much simpler: WP has attempted to be everything to everyone.
Plus, did I mention it is PHP?
My WP site got hacked even though I always updated and somehow spammers could post to my site, even though I set the admin setting that said no one could post to it.
Every day 100s of spam posted. Ugh!
WP didn't have a good way to set all of those to SPAM either.
So I had to examine the WP tables and do a manual update query to do that.
WP, ugh! Did I mention that it is written in PHP?

Why is every Billionaire tech company owner is trying to prove that they do some mundane things differently and this they are successful.

Redmond's working hard to court Silicon Valley. "Cause I can't make you love me if you don't"

They're so Sears now and once you are you're done.

I don't see how "cool" and "Silicon Valley" go together.

Get started using the open source R programming language to do statistical computing and graphics on large data sets. If it's good enough for Blackbeard, it should be good enough for you

When learned statistics at the university we had a data mining language at the console (I can't remember any name attached to it), that was almost as unreadable and messy like R looks like here...
Very promising...

We already know that there are two dominant mobile operating systems out there. But the current situation doesn’t really allow anyone to experiment, not without going through the interests and lenses of the two dominant players — Apple and Google. Somewhere in Redmond, a Product Manager is crying

How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

WP8, Ubuntu mobile , Meego-Bada-Tizen , BlackBerry OS , Firefox OS....

I think we have a debate over what mobile OS is...Or just Mr. Horowitz missed the counting at a very early stage...

I conceed that OpenVMS is not a very mobile OS.

When Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks, the world listens—even if he’s speaking to a room full of bankers and other finance bigwigs at the annual Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference. Wait, let me guess: he's finally admitting to being a fan and copying its look and feel (retroactively)?
|
|
|
|
|
"Tim Cook explains what he really thinks of Android" after reading I feel like that's a clickbait title...
|
|
|
|
|
/shrug All headlines are clickbait: that's the sole reason for a headline.
"Tim Cook speaks at Goldman Sachs event, discusses stuff." might be more accurate, but is also clickbait (just not as tasty)

The new API for Java SE will define a specification for common issues and behaviours shared between most desktop and embedded applications. Standard behaviour across all desktop apps? That's just crazy talk.

The program, dubbed "trusted source," has seen more than 6,000 false positives fixed so far, just one week after the program started. "Many hands make light work"

Facebook is trying to combat the threat of malware and security through collaboration. The company just announced ThreatExchange, an API-based platform designed for organizations to share security threat information.
The idea for ThreatExchange manifested about a year ago through a discussion about a botnet causing a malware attack across a group of technology companies’ services. If there is a way to make it into a social platform, Facebook will find it.

New research finds that the core functionality of a program is encapsulated by just a small fraction of its code. "All we are is dust in the wind"
