I’m going to categorize the following under our new “WTF” category. Many of you may have seen one of the predecessor videos which consisted of hundreds of orange suited prisoners from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines dancing to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Beyond the fact that this is damn amusing I actually think it’s pretty great that the prison endorses this unusual method of rehabilitation. The prisoners must know that well over ...

TV viewers watch about 15 to 20% of their prime time television via a DVR. Obviously this has been a major concern to marketers for the last couple of years, but there was a very interesting study released by Innerscope Research that might indicate some good news that was previously unanticipated. “Our conclusion was that people don’t skip ads,” said Carl Marci, cofounder and CEO of Innerscope Research. “They’re just processing them differently.” Innerscope indicates ...

jQuery is a lightweight open source JavaScript library (only 15kb in size) that in a relatively short span of time has become one of the most popular libraries on the web. A big part of the appeal of jQuery is that it allows you to elegantly (and efficiently) find and manipulate HTML elements with minimum lines of code. jQuery supports this via a nice "selector" API that allows developers to query for HTML elements, and ...

Is this the first time MS has openly adopted an open source library?

Chagel said:
Sounds interesting!That's a smart and correct decision and hopefully JQuery can get along well with ASP.NET big families. Microsoft usually directly goes for acquisition like this. Now I have to regard it with respect.

As someone who develops web applications using both ASP.NET and jQuery, the news that Microsoft will be including jQuery with Visual Studio and providing support for it is music to my ears. I can hardly wait for the jQuery Intellisense support to be released.

Looks like ths choice of JQuery for the Hui Project was a good one! I really do like using jQuery selectors and it's great that they're "supported" as semi-official libraries now.

Was at the EmTech conference at MIT today and suffered through a panel led by Robert Scoble with four geeks (Facebook, Six Apart, Plaxo, Twine) talking about the future of the Web. No prepared remarks, just totally random conversation. Basically they all just spewed whatever came into their heads, at top speed, interrupting each other and oblivious to the fact that an audience was sitting there, glazing over. A few people got up and asked ...

I had a problem with one of my controller actions today. For the sake of this article, we'll it "long_action".Now, as the name implies, "long_action" was really slow to respond every time I hit it with a browser; not just a little slow, we're talking 4 second response time. Knowing this was unacceptable, I rolled up my sleeves and switched into bug-hunt mode. This is when I made the big mistake, doing the one thing ...

Aesthetics have a bad rap in geek circles. CmdrTaco infamously slammed the original iPod with “No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame”. In other words, it’s all about the features and the functionality. If you don’t do more than the other guy, you’re useless. I don’t agree, but I accept. It’s when the argument is raised from the “I” and to the “them” that it starts getting ridiculous. In arguing some new, ugly IBM ...

Mac said:
Expanding on this post's point a bit: aesthetics also play into the overall user experience, which is where Apple has truly excelled. Typing on a MacBook Pro *feels* good because the shape and spacing of the keys is welcoming. Typing on a Dell or IBM laptop is utilitarian at best.

Yesterday GamePolitics covered AntiSpore, an apparent Creationist site bent on attacking the evolutionary message inherent in Will Wright's best-selling Spore.We noted that there was some suspicion that the over-the-top blog was a hoax. And so it was. In today's entry the author starts out with a lengthy diatribe on her religious views:I think part of the problem that is going on here is that the bulk of you are ignorant as to the word of ...

cmd writes "The Wall Street Journal reports that Google News crawled an obscure reprint of an article from 2002 when United Airlines was on the brink of bankruptcy. United Airlines has since recovered but due to a missing dateline, Google News ran the story as today's news. The story was then picked up by other news aggregators and eventually headlined as a news flash on Bloomberg. This triggered automated trading programs to dump UAL, cratering ...

Sorry for the forum/blog downtime today. Many things went wrong during davean’s heroic upgrade. (I blame the LHC.) Feynman used to told a story about a simple lawn-sprinkler physics problem. The nifty thing about the problem was that the answer was immediately obvious, but to some people it was immediately obvious one way and to some it was immediately obvious the other. (For the record, the answer to Feynman problem, which he never tells you ...
