That's some next-level geekery right there. Outstanding!

Same here ... Macbook Air desperately needs a better screen. I reluctantly bought one recently just for the quality and reliability. Perhaps Apple is concerned that it would cut into their MacBook Pro sales too much.

Wow, all this talk about VR in 1993 ... it would be interesting to read the history on that. Either the world wasn't ready for it or the implementation was very lame (something like Nintendo StarFox or worse yet ... BattleZone)

What if they have a 90% administration fee... all that matching could go right back into the charity. This would effectively make it 0% matching.

Also, the matching could be prorated over the next 100 years. This company has only been around for 3 years and doesn't have a profile on Charity Navigator yet. I will give it some more time.

Haha, don't look it up at work friends

I believe all of these are good points. The keywords are simple and concise and I believe the language constructs such as interface{} and sub-typing were designed to ensure compilation and running are insanely fast. Google is famous for optimizing their server applications and Go appears to be their "go-to" language of choice for all future web application development.

Does anyone understand what the author meant by the following statement:

${lang} is the language of the future

This looks like a macro for substitution, but maybe its some hip new term I've never encountered. An actual language or just a placeholder for a language that hasn't been chosen yet?

For younger developers, you might try out the Intel XDK - it has a really simple interface and emulator for Android, iOS and web browsers (for building HTML5 apps). It includes publishing features and its totally free.

This is not really a startling revelation, businesses need revenue to succeed but where does revenue come from? Customers .. duh! They also need to attract customers to gain angel inventors, funding, and partnership deals.

I'm not sure that I agree with the author's opinion that time would be better spent innovating on User Interface / usability. Having run a business since 2000, I would say that delivering an innovative service to a very specific marketplace and at the same time developing a rapport with that segment should be the ultimate goal of any startup.

I noticed a nifty site that converts words into a phone number and vice versa. Just get your hands on a dictionary file and look at a phone keypad - shouldn't be too hard after that!

One of my pet projects has been to create a minimalist task manager that uses Ajax. It allows you to add/edit/delete tasks quickly without needing to reload the entire page. For those of you who are interested, you can check it out at the URL below:

I read that there's a book PPC (pay-per click) Advertising For Dummies. That might be a good place to start your search.
