I really dislike this title. It seems like ever since Google said they would 'Do no evil', people have been calling any company that does anything they don't like evil. Facebook isn't evil, they are a company just like any other. As much as some people hate this open graph idea (and I REALLY hate it), it does not make the company evil.
Mark Zuckerberg on the other hand is evil. :D
The first thing I tried to do was disable a css line a-la firebug. That did not work which saddened me. This is still pretty neat, and would be a cool way to do a mock-up. Very excited to see how (if) it progresses in terms of functionality.
Which is part of the reason that it is great Amazon is doing this. They can afford the rebates and more importantly, they can afford to put pressure on Sony.
I never realized this until I was living in a house with 3 girls. One day, one of them walks in a starts telling me about some problems she was having with her boyfriend. I gave her my advice on the situation.
She responded by telling me that whenever anyone comes to me with problems, I try to give them an answer (why else would they be coming to me, right?!?). She told me people don't always want solutions to their problems, they just want someone to listen to them. She didn't apply this to only girls, as some guys I know seem to deal with their problems in the same way. This is something I still don't really understand but this article sheds a little light on the subject.
As cliche as it may sound, I think that the publishers are simply afraid of that which they don't understand. I rarely use Google Books but the few times I have I immediately noticed that what I am looking at is not the entire book. The fact that this isn't well know by the publishers makes it clear; they have no clue what Google Books is, but they don't like it.
April fools? Please.
The saddest part of this is that companies are spending thousands of dollars on these certificates without any knowledge of how it works. But hey, that lock on the address bar sure makes me feel secure.
Google is now saying that this is a technical glitch on their end. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405270230473910457515...
Jmeter for load testing. Selenium for regression testing. Penetration testing is also a pretty vital aspect if there web application has access to sensitive data. Web applications should be tested like any other applications.
Graduate students stating that "no one tests web apps" are showing why they are still called students.
I started working around Times Square a few months ago and have walked past this guy daily. One day I had a half sandwich I didn't want so I give it to him. I now get a friendly smile and hello every time I walk by him.
While I was hoping this article would have more information on his background, I am glad to now have a name that I can say hello to when I walk by.
