Yeah, really interesting. I also find it intriguing that the trend was to simplify the logo over the years, as the companies got bigger and bigger. Although this may not be so surprising, given that they didn't need really fancy logos once achieving some notoriety.

This is not a news article and I think I've seen it before.

Let's not get too hung up on the "news" aspect of these posts, please.
The better way of thinking about this forum, IMHO is that it's a place for discussing newsy, interesting and informative posts from around the web specifically about programming and tech.

Yes, and that's where this thread belongs (if anywhere).

Thanks for this.
I'm all tucked in but on my dev laptop that awaits me and my cup of morning joe in the living room now has a brand new txt file on the desktop called breadcrumbs.txt where I documented what I was trying to do when I had had enough this evening.

In this installment we talk to independent Mac app developer and creator of the Alfred app, Andrew Pepperrell. We talk to developers about their backgrounds, projects, interests and pet peeves.

I had been tempted to classify IFTTT as a merely an interesting toy for playing with social media. Granted, it’s nice that I can archive all my tweets into an Evernote note, but so what? However, IFTTT’s growth in features is showing it to be more than a bauble. The service is becoming an empowering tool that gives users more control over their own data, previously often accessible by programmers alone.

Very often I am asked to tell someone if their implementation is "RESTful", "is a REST API", is "RESTful enough", etc. Rarely am I asked to tell someone if their chosen architectural style is appropriate for the problem at hand. IOW, people want to know if the work fits a label invented over a decade ago by a PhD candidate in his dissertation. Almost everytime the answer is the same: "NO." Is your app RESTful? Does it matter if it works?

An interesting blog spoiled by the style of delivery. I really wish he hadn't used all those "if you don't want to know about.... skip..." parts. They just got in the way of the flow of the article. Just as a point was picking up steam, bang he throws this in and it breaks the thread for me.
Good though. I have to admit that I have never read the original Dissertation so this was a bit of an eye opener.

A co-worker watched me type the other day and noticed that I use certain Unix commands for purposes other than they are intended. Yes, I abuse Unix commands. I hope you enjoyed my little tour of Unix commands that are useful to mis-use. I'd be interested in hearing what commands you abuse. What are your favorite bash (or Powershell) tricks?

Unix abuses you so it is okay to abuse Unix commands.

There is a distinct lack of practical or comprehensive information on RSI treatment available online. Instead, there are people promoting gimmicks/scams, fear mongering, and bloggers complaining about pain but never discussing whether or how they got better. Were this not the case, I would never consider offering anecdotal medical advice, and I look forward to corrections in the comments. Listen to your body! (Not necessarily normal behavior for a programmer.)

Is it time to give Java the boot? Experts say yes. Java, the programming language designed to make the web fun and interactive, has become one of the weakest links in a PC’s and Mac's defenses against external threats. Consider the most recent Java vulnerability, a weakness currently being exploited by malware distributors: When Oracle, Java's maker, released an emergency update to fix the software, security analysts reported that even the hot-off-the-presses code contains additional vulnerabilities.

Fingerprint-reading software preinstalled on laptops sold by Dell, Sony, and at least 14 other PC makers contains a serious weakness that makes it trivial for hackers with physical control of the machine to quickly recover account passwords, security researchers said. Light-fingered hackers make light of your fingers.

Nokia today announced its new flagship Windows Phone 8, the Lumia 920, with a powerful PureView camera as the centerpiece. The Nokia Lumia 920 has a 4.5-inch curved glass display with a resolution of 1280 x 768, a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. How do you think this measures up to Android and iPhone alternatives?

“In federal rules tests, there are just two dummies tested,” Reed reveals. “And manufacturers are using computer simulations that are effective in predicting what will happen in a dummy test.” But what about real humans? What about the 75-year-old man with soft ribs and a curved back, whose short-sightedness causes him to sit close to the dash? ...state-of-the-art computational models are tweaking airbags, seatbelt and vehicle designs to accommodate him and the rest of the world’s drivers. You have crashed. Game over. Ready driver one?
