It would be hard to imagine if they didn't? Seems like stuff like this always comes to Windows first. I use Win10's built in virtual desktops but I keep all my browser windows on one desktop so I've never tested it, I would just be shocked if it didn't work on Win10 also!
I'm the beta channel so I've had the new address bar for like 6 weeks or whatever. I didn't like it at first because it was kind of jarring, but within just a few days stopped noticing it. When I saw the discussion here, it took me a minute to realize what people were even talking about... what new address bar? That's how quickly I got used to it and don't even remember what it was like before.
The problem is that the window to submit prior art is still very small (6-18 months basically) and prior art must be submitted before the patent is approved. This means that all of the bullshit patents that already exist? Those are still good and always will be. Very unfortunate.
> I found a pretty major bug in your loader code ... last week and today you are still distributing the broken code has me worried. Do you not take this stuff seriously?
Clearly you have never run an actual company before.
Yeah but these kinds of stories have been going on since Groupon first started doing business. At this point it's kind of embarrassing to see a new rant about Groupon. I feel bad for the guy but I also just want to say, "well... duh. what did you expect?"
For what it's worth, I've had a pair of SSD's in RAID1 on a production server for well over a year now and they're still spanking any other hard drive I've ever used with regards to performance. This is for a heavy-read/heavy-write database. Granted the database is only a few GB, however, I think there's way too much FUD floating around about SSD degradation. I haven't experienced it at all, so I suggest everyone stop worrying about it already.
Don't forget about time. I value my time and I spend way too much of it dealing with physical servers. Unfortunately AWS has not been an option for us because we are very I/O intensive.... however this new SSD instance is kind of making me drool. But anyways, raw cost of hardware vs raw cost of leasing from AWS, yeah AWS might be more expensive. But god damn if dealing with real servers isn't a pain in the ass and a huge waste of time.
The privacy concerns are overblown. Mixpanel doesn't magically "know" stuff about your users - they only know what you tell them. And you only know what your users tell you. You won't know someone's email address or (maybe) real name unless they have registered an account. You won't know someone's gender unless that's part of the profile creation process on your site. Etc. Mixpanel is just making it easy to analyze this data in their interface by giving you the ability to send this data to them.
Not true in my experience. Now maybe the difference is my company doesn't have a lot of pissed off customers... if the person is mad, I take time to try to understand what exactly is going on, why it's happening, and how we can fix it. But these are rare. We have good customers.
If I have our support email open a new one comes in and it's an easy one, I often reply in less than 60 seconds. 9 times out of 10 the customer is floored by how amazing that was.
The point is that the expensive/quality meals were presented as part of her compensation in exchange for lower salary, then this was taken away. If instead she had just gotten a higher salary, she'd still be getting that extra value in exchange for her work.
What I hate is what Apple has become, and this is the reason I will never own another iPhone. It's a fantastic phone and changed everything in the mobile landscape, but Apple has become an extremely evil company with their ridiculous success and I won't support that.
MG can dislike Google for similar reasons. That's fine. The difference is he transfers that hate to Android. I don't hate the iPhone, I just hate Apple.
And I don't really buy his reasoning anyways. He has written hundreds of articles about how bad Android is. If the real reason for him hating Android was because of Google's net neutrality cave-in, he would have mentioned it by now. Like a hundred times (he likes to repeat himself).
I feel like now that Android has finally grown into a mature and robust OS (it was definitely a bit janky prior to 2.3), he doesn't have any justifiable reason to hate it anymore, so he's grasping at straws. It just seems silly.
That doesn't make any sense to me. If you click a link on an HTTPS site, your browser doesn't send a referrer. So people coming from encyrpted Google to another site, that site would actually get NO referrer data at all.
Sorry Cloudant, but the only thing you're going to be doing is helping evil become eviler. I hate to piss on your parade, but Monsanto is literally the worst company in the world. I can't be happy for you.
Hmm, not a bad idea. My company is going to be hiring soon, I'm thinking about doing something like this. It would be relevant to our service though, not just a random web app. e.g., building something on top of our API. Thanks for the idea!
I hope Microsoft succeeds in derailing this ridiculous trademark. "App Store" is way too generic. It's a "store" where you buy "applications".
Apple is claiming Microsoft has a generic trademark too, for "Windows", but Windows does not generically describe the OS itself so it's valid in my opinion. "App Store", however, is not.
Half of Rao's stories are about Salesforce. I can only assume she either gets paid directly by SF to write about them, or she has some kind of personal connection with one of the founders there, so she writes about them every chance she gets. She's not a bad writer, I just smell something fishy going on behind the scenes.
The only articles I like for the most part are by Arrington and Jason Kincaid. Arrington goes off on rants sometimes or writes ridiculous flamebait, but when he puts his mind to it he writes the best articles on the site by far. These gems just don't show up often enough to make the site good though.
