I just played with the sharpness control on a HP Compaq consumer 24" display, and the lower sharpness settings seem to actively blur the image. Why would you possibly ever want that?
I don't like this idea of companies being one step behind. I mean, yes, Bing is one step behind Google (in some regards anyway). And Google+ is one step (or a dozen) behind Facebook. But it's not like the new hotness invalidates existing business models. Where things are most interesting is where companies compete by embracing their own values (eg. Android vs iOS). I know Microsoft is famous for copying others' innovations, and back in the 90s they did it quite effectively, but for a lot of companies it feels like grasping at straws during their decline. I'd rather see companies focus on their strengths. You never hear people talking about how Amazon is "one step behind" all the newer sexier companies, and they're still on the bleeding edge.
Social Media Marketing Company
he world has changed since social media marketing was introduced. It's a new way to reach consumers, on a platform that is immediate, casual, user-friendly, and in an environment where they are at ease. We get a company noticed by bringing them to the consumer and vice versa. We believe that good products sell themselves but in this world of clutter, many are left unnoticed. SMM offers contemporary, economical mediums to advertise your company.
I said something very similar to that for many years.

I couldn't find the thread few weeks past where I read similar comment. It actually worked for me. If anyone remembers the thread please link it here.
Apparently there is a study around that people actually prefer Bing's results to Google's if you swap the layout (i.e. show Bing's results on a Google page and vice versa). That may just show that Google has the better brand, but Bing's search results are apparently not that bad.

(I don't use Bing and have no conceivable stake in this fight.)
I don't think Google necessarily needs to get all their users in one day of viral goodness like most tiny startups do. They have pleny of time and money to burn through; look at how long Microsoft has lasted. Google can gradually integrate their other products with Google+ so that you don't even know you're using +. One day you'll want to share something, and you'll already be on a social network, and it will Just Work. (This is especially relevant with smartphones. Think about further refinements of the Camera app's "instant upload".)

Anyway, I see slow growth for Google+. Most people don't want "social networking", they want to share photos with their kids or share funny jokes with their coworkers. Google+ will gradually integrate itself with services people use for this sort of thing, and will replace it as the "Tumblr feed" model replaces email, IM, and SMS.
It costs something like $100,000 to hire a new employee. Is this worth spending that much money on when you could just say, "hey, don't do that"?

(With Apple, yes, because Apple is very fickle about this sort of thing. But with Nokia? What's Nokia going to do about it? Go back to their own OS over a pre-release review? Seems unlikely.)

>Frankly I'm surprised that they keep sinking money into this, they've clearly failed to establish a profitable beach head, meanwhile google is making money hand over fist in the exact same domain.

This seems to be Microsoft's MO, and it seems to have worked with the XBox. Push hard, buy a second place position with massive marketing, investment, and underpricing, and continue to maintain it while losing billions and billions. Then the first place company inevitably, eventually makes a series of horrible, very public missteps, and Microsoft is positioned as "The Alternative."

On one hand, I think it's a pretty sleazy tactic, but on the other hand I rarely ever see any corporation thinking in the long term, especially to this absurd degree. I'm not exactly sure what the strategy is to defend against this, either.
Here's the thing about the registry: with a bunch of config files in /etc, I already have many, many tools for managing them because they're just text files like every other text file. With the Windows registry, if I want version control or something like that, I have to invent the tools myself. This is a waste of my time unless I am in the business of selling products for Windows.

UNIX is about being generic. Yes, it means Apache and Varnish have different config file formats. But it also means that I already have the tools I need to automate my configuration so I don't have to care.

(Yes, Windows is programmable. But when you start having to compile software to automate your deployment, it becomes engineering and becomes a task of its own. Compare this to a quick command-line oneliner, and you'll see why people prefer UNIX. Engineering is about knowing how much you need to get something accomplished. Sometimes you do need to write highly-advanced configuration software. But other times, you don't. Windows doesn't give you that choice.)
> What tools can a developer use today that propel them above what others are doing? If you're just using a standard issue macbook at this point, your tools are not better than what others are using.

Depending on what you're doing, hardware is mostly a commodity at this point. You need sufficient hardware speed to maintain flow, but that's about it. Otherwise a big monitor (maybe several of them) and good keyboard / mouse / ergonomics are all you need.

Workflows though, I think that's where the magic is. And a great workflow is perfectly suited to the task at hand. The true master programmer optimizes the workflow without descending into wasteful fiddling.
New Saturn-Like Planet Has Two Suns, NASA Says
Some people are willing to steal money directly. A dollar lost is a dollar gained. They make me mad.

There is quite another type, alive and well in our political and legal system, that have no problem stealing or ruining thousands for a few dollars gain for themselves. I well and truly wish these folks hadn't been born.

I feel as soon as humanity grows out of the stage where this kind of behavior is tolerated, we'll be well on our way to the utopia that most of us hope for. Once you nip this impulse in the bud, it won't matter if the systems are socialist, capitalist or whatever, they'll probably work just dandy. This is why we can't have nice things.

1. Everyone in the study was allowed to succeed in their goals, so a conclusion cannot be stated beyond "those that set high goals and have them met are more satisfied than those who set lower goals and have them met."

2. Correlation is not causation. Perhaps those who set higher goals were more satisfied in general already, or had some other reason to feel more satisfied about anything that might happen to them.
Google Promises One Android for All Screen Sizes--As it Should Be
The author's complaint seems to be that he wants to put a rel=next / rel=prev relationship on all his blog posts, and this might get confused with a paginated article. Generally ordered sequences are designed to be read from the start, so you rarely want to be dropped in the middle, which is what Google is saying they will usually do.

I think Google is right here. If you mark something as a sequence, it is reasonable to presume that the start of the sequence is the normal entry point, in this case the front page of your blog.

Personally, the obsession about date order in blogs is overdone. It is not a book, there are no real dependencies between chapters. My blog is not a sequence (unless I happen to say write a three part article on some subject, where there would be a short sequence here). Sure it has a date order, but semantically thats not very important. I am not self important enough to believe anyone reads it in order. If people want to read by date, you can provide a date index or calendar view, but that does not have to imply a rel=next/prev sequence on that view.

What Developers Need to Know About Cross Site Request Forgeries
Cross Site Forgery, or cross site request forgery (CSRF), is a web based attack where a malicious web site, instant message, email, or program causes the victim’s Web browser to perform an unwanted action on a trusted site for which the user is currently authenticated.For example, let’s say I am logged into my bank account, or cookie information is stored from a recent login, and I click on a malicious link.

I suspect part of Google's success is not just front-page search but also site-specific searches (how some sites use Google as a a back-end search).

Perhaps more significant is their number of AdSense affiliates. (After all, search doesn't make money, advertising does.) Blog after blog and developer and developer continue to embed Google ads, and are thus themselves bound to Google and encouraging others to do so.
I don't think you can compare the two situations, because Sony has gone to great lengths to demonstrate that it's a supremely incompetent company (which it is). Google has done nothing of the sort. Plus, people constantly expect innovation from the console makers, but for Google to hold on to its position in search, it just has to stay online.
