This phone has an 8 mega pixel camera. At what point do you think manufacturers will stop increasing pixel resolution? 50? 100? It has to top off somewhere otherwise people will need a second hard drive just to store phone pictures.

You make some good points about Coldfusion but the death of Coldfusion is not the language itself or the support and dedication from Adobe, the death is in the job market and demand for it.

Have you looked into Ruby or Node? Compared to Coldfusion and PHP, it to me seems like a new paradigm in web development with tools such as NPM for Node, build tools like Grunt and Gulp.. again, to me, these things make CF and PHP seem old school.

Google has ruined maps on my Android. So much so that I have reverted it back to original factory version since thats the version which had the single most useful feature of the app - the ability to add what you searched for to your contacts in one press. The number of times they have changed the UI around is ridiculous. I know Im not supposed to be fiddling with my phone while Im driving but if I ever crash its probably because once again Google changed the fucking UI again and I have to figure it out whilst en route.

Callback hell has been my biggest stumbling block with node but there are libraries such as asynch and Q which have provided me with adequate solutions. Also since were talking about things to be ironed out, I hope they make it easier to run node behind Apache or some other webserver thats tried and true.. why abandon all that progress?

I know what you mean but I really think it'll be hard to topple node. I started with express and tried a few other frameworks and finally decided on sailsjs. I haven't had this much fun or been this excited about web development since I started 10+ years ago. I really don't know what it is about node thats so appealing as Im no js guru but I think its going to be around for a very long time.

I wish I could find a company to work for that gave even the slightest concern for new developers and/or helping them get up to speed.

Yea Sails is awesome but I feel like the devs have been putting the community on the back burner lately. Its ORM is off to a good start but I find myself writing a bunch of hard to maintain SQL because of the things yet to be implemented, like joins. Also, Windows support could use a ton more testing/attention.

To me, meditation seems like an entirely self serving activity. As an analogy (and probably not a very good one) what if electrons began to meditate 60 minutes per day? They lose their charge and basically do nothing? Or what if birds and bees began to meditate? I think the result of all that would be pretty obvious.

Your site design choice seems to be taking a lot of heat. How do you personally feel about it? Do you think the cool factor of a "parallax" website outweighs any drawbacks that have been mentioned here?

I never thought flash was all that easy to use. I could never get the timeline to cooperate with what I was trying to do (drag/copy/paste frames etc)
