Well, well. Back to MySpace Music it is. Google+ wasn't really working out anyways.

Right. Verizon isn't artificially limiting network speeds. Just like Comcast wasn't.

Unfortunately, I believe that is the role of the user. I don't think that Facebook would try re-routing users to code.org.

Xamarin supporting Attachmate's Mono stuff means a lot to me, as a developer. I work for a company that does a lot of Mono-based consulting. This is going to sound like advertising, but having Mono for Android and MonoTouch makes life as a mobile developer easy. For example, my coworkers have been working on an iPhone application for a client using MonoTouch, using MonoTouch.Dialog. The client wanted a dual launch with an Android app, and since we were using all Mono-based projects in an MVC pattern, all we had to do was rewrite the UI for Android. Most of the screens had a lot code that could be reused with MonoDroid.Dialog. That means that even though the iPhone project started two months before the Android one, it only took one month to catch up to iPhone. That's two months that I spent utilizing my time towards other clients, and two months that we didn't have to bill to this client. When I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

I bought movie tickets for me and two co-workers. One paid back in cash (in coins :D), the other transferred the money to my bank account. I think I (and most others in Finland) do pay 2€ or something a month for 'online banking' though.

Forgive my ignorance, I am not familiar with christianity or the catholic church. But isnt there only one pope (living pope), who is the head of the organisation?

The super bowl ads this year were horrible. I remember like 2 years ago the Super Bowl ads were these insane ads in which were hilarious and had great actors in them. This year they weren't much better than normal ads.

The Google ad however really stood out. Heck it even made me feel emotional.

I welcome our new Google overlords!

So what? I've got a 64MB Toshiba Portege that runs Win98 and DSL. What is it useful for? I gave the thing to my 6 year old so that she can run TuxPaint.

Yes its cheap. No it doesn't do anything much useful.

At best its a thin client for Google's online software. Its not a supercomputer because it doesn't do anything that a supercomputer would do.

There's also 'Agile Software Development with Scrum,' same author. There are people who consider it to be the Scrum bible.

'Agile' is a class of software methodologies. A popular Agile methodology is called Scrum. An excellent resource on how to conduct a Scrum shop is 'Agile Project Management with Scrum,' by Ken Schwaber. A good place to get started is http://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/scrum/.

Or maybe the Bluth Banana Stand.
