If you are typing a search or url in the address bar, Google Chrome will talk to the current search service to try to offer useful query/url suggestions. I love this feature, but you can turn it off. - When does Google Chrome talk to Google.com?
But then I realized something huge. If you use Google Chrome, Google will know every URL you type into the location bar. More than that, they will know (almost) every partial URL you type into the location bar. More than that, they will know every word or phrase you type into the location bar, even if you type it and then delete it before pressing enter. More than that, all this information can be linked with your main Google account, because Google sends your cookie along with every automatic search it performs from the location bar. Chrome will use the cookie of whatever Google account you are currently logged into. - Google Chrome privacy worse than you think
Let me repeat this: a man was trampled to death. A temporary employee of Wal-mart, Jdimytai Damour, was crushed under the feet of shoppers eager to get their hands on cheap. Chinese-made goods. Shopper literally broke down the glass doors to the Wal-mart where Damour was working, and he remained under the door as hundreds of people clambored over the top of him. Imagine stepping over a man lying prone beneath a sheet of glass. Can you fathom that? Could you? For what? What could possibly allow human beings to behave like homicidal lemmings. - How many human lives is a flat panel TV worth?
Do not use the hack with scripts. It was intended to prevent scripts from showing up as text on the first generation browsers Netscape 1 and Mosaic. It has not been necessary for many years. is supposed to signal an HTML comment. Comments should be ignored, not compiled and executed. Also, HTML comments are not to include —, so a script that decrements has an HTML error. - JavaScript and HTML Script Tags
type=”text/javascript” This attribute is optional. Since Netscape 2, the default programming language in all browsers has been JavaScript. In XHTML, this attribute is required and unnecessary. In HTML, it is better to leave it out. The browser knows what to do. - JavaScript Tags
The MCImageManager is available both in PHP and .NET, and it’s possible to integrate with the MCFileManager and it integrates seamlessly into TinyMCE. The purpose of the MCImageManager is to be able to preview images through thumbnails and conduct basic file operations on them, such as upload and delete, but it also has more advanced features such as crop, resize and flipping of images. - Tumblr TinyMCE Upgrade
The result was that, increasingly, MooTools was getting a bad rep (and by extension the dev group were, too). The general perception was that we were unfriendly towards new comers and downright brutal towards them sometimes. It was perceived that we had a strong dislike towards jQuery and that we viewed ourselves as superior to all other frameworks. Despite our efforts to say otherwise - Why no official forum
Two plucky adventurers, Programmer and Sysadmin, set out on a journey. Together they make websites. Websites with webservers and databases. Users from all over the Internet talk to the webservers and ask them to make pages for them. The webservers ask the databases for junk they need to make the pages. Programmer codes, Sysadmin adds webservers and database servers. - This is a story of mem-Caching
Every product in your house has a weight or a volume printed on it. Have a cat? Cat litter is freaking heavy, and a lot of the containers have handles. Try doing reps of Tidy Cat for a week, you’ll feel the burn and smell fresh, too. - Web Dev Dieting
Obama is, technically not an “African-American.” His father, Barack Obama, Sr., is one-sixth African (on his mother’s side, from the Luo tribe in Kenya) and his remaining ancestry is Arabic. Candidate Obama is thus more accurately referred to as “Arab-American.” Obama is not (like many black Americans) the descendant of slaves owned by white American slave-owners. Having Arab ancestors, Obama is most likely a descendant of slave owners, because Arabs have traditionally owned slaves. - Obama Timeline
Most hosting SLA agreements are just plain silly. They promise things like 99.9% uptime, but downtime excludes: scheduled maintenance, network outages, hardware failures and software trouble. Well what exactly is left to cause downtime? - Slicehost

* Rails has no financial backer and therefore no secure future (like Microsoft or Zend).
* Rails has a dictatorship by the “core developers”.
* Rails is inflexible when it comes to model/persistence mapping. It’s 1:1 model to db at best.
* Rails is not very scalable per host as everything is interpreted. Ruby is slow
* Ruby lacks a specification. So does rails.
* Rails is hard to host as you require shell access.
* Rails occasionally requires some odd magic to make things work.
* Rails lacks any real “enterprise” usage, which is where professional adoption is usually defined. The stuff I work on handles 37signals’ entire throughput per year, except every day. - 7 Reason I switched back to PHP
