Since I was a youngster, I've always been a fan of Sony stuff. I'm old enough to have spent a few years alive before CD's came out. I was still a little guy when I got my first Sony Portable CD player. Even though there were only a few CDs available at the time (The Firm - Mean Business,...
This is a big claim on my part, but if this isn't the dumbest lawsuit Microsoft has ever faced , it's got to be a contender. In the lawsuit, Crooker argues that Internet Explorer was set to delete his browsing history after five days, but the software failed to do so. "Any day beyond those parameters...
I have very little to goof on Bill Gates about, but he's being Mighty brave with challenges like this . On the one hand, I really admire his approach and smack talking. "We made it way harder for guys to do exploits," said Mr. Gates. "The number [of exploits] will be way less because we've done some...

I've ranted over and over again about pieces of shameful incompetence I've come across over time. If you've been in the business more than a few months, you'll see things that make you say "I'm glad I don't do business with them." For instance, I was recently looking at some code that a friend of mine...
Not too long ago , I discussed the fact that programmers are pretty much the last people that should be developing interfaces. My point wasn't that developers are incapable of understanding good UI design concepts, it's just that for some reason or another, we tend not to be very good at implementation...

Now if yoyu check out Jeremy Brayton's friggin *blogmap* - 36 PEOPLE! Sure, Hotlanta is a lot bigger than Greenville but I just didn't realise that the...
So here's a copy of the actual letter they are threatening people with. I actually heard an interesting take on the issue. Say RealtyWorld is going to threaten SomeMVP because the RealtyWorld Symbol bares a small resemblance to the globe SomeMvp got via Microsoft Publisher. If RealtyWorld can in fact...
Irrespective of how much I hate the SOB's, I have to give it to the people that create the Phishing Scams and many of the spammers - at least in terms of technology.
