Goole uses C++ and Java while people focus on the static help system written in Python.

So.. if you want to build a static help system...

Sun Microsystems, Intel, AMD and Microsoft have all been pushing multi-core/multi-CPU for years. His statement might be correct from a UI perspective, but it sounds a bit naive from a system perspective. Windows is much more fragmented than OS X in the UI layer. WPF, WinForms, Win32, Qt, Swing, Adobe, Softimage, Maya, Autodesk, etc etc.

Most Tiger users are probably on PPC, a CPU that is not supported by Snow Leopard. And please remember that Windows XP has a huge botnet problem.

That makes no sense to me. Google Native Client is just a desperate attempt to hide expensive code from other companies. How many nuclear power plants, switches, routers, undersea pipelines, servers and UPS systems are needed to run a Facebook turd-app connected to Google DRM anyway ? Talking about the slowness of Javascript is amusing when 856 sub-systems needs to be operational for a Web 2.0 "Hello World".

Give me a break. Americans have no cash and live on credit, thereby creating a marked for AT/T, McDonald's and Google.

Accenture and Google spam news sites and job boards all the time. Luckily, Google shut down the local office in my city. If they can't find an "HTML/Javascript/CSS developer" in a city filled with students, they are either idiots or not hiring.

Seriously ? Dementia takes over after only 18 months ? She works in freaking avionics. Ruby on Rails, .NET and Java developers should not comment on this issue.

Many people never want to move up. They just want a good job, period. 50-60 year old people are like that.

DZone whines about this problem every day now :)

My system is not very open. I get 100 000 spam comments on my blog per year. A thousand or so get through the automated defense system. So people who comment don't get a fluid conversation.

I'm talking about my blog. I have one blog + sign up process for my paying customers. I don't have the server capacity to go free. I sell software btw. I'm trying to give my customers something extra by offering web login, license control, bookmarking, whois, search, etc. It is probably way to boring though.

The blog thing is great. It has tripled my traffic and 25 percent of incoming users are now from search engines.

Yeah, big spikes in traffic often equals more customers. But not always. If you screw up the demographic data in an advertising campaign you just get clicking monkeys who likes to install spyware.

People like my software, but are probably bored to tears by my web presence. And therefore I get very few comments on my blog. I was hoping for more info so I can tune my software. Maybe I have to build in some social stuff into the main website ?
