If you’re one of those number-chasers who pore over our daily product stats, you’re in good company. The popular (and awesome) consumer-rights blog The Consumerist seized on our Woots Per Capita Map to get a quick read on the economic impact of Hurricane Gustav. They noticed Louisiana was much darker on September 2 than it had been on August 2, and concluded that Pelican Staters have better things to do right now than buy cheap ...

At Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz’s news conference, school officials gave reporters a copy of the NCAA Blogging Policy. This policy limits credentialed reporters at football and basketball games to five blog entries per half, one at half-time and two during an overtime period. Reporters may mention both the score and the time remaining, but compose nothing that could be construed as play-by-play. This policy mitigates earlier draconian edicts, which stopped reporters from blogging at all ...

As everyone already knows, Google released a new open-source web browser called Chrome. Having interest in code reuse, I downloaded the source code and examined all the open-source libraries used. Google Chrome browser shows excellent example of code reuse. I found that they use at least 25 different software libraries! Here is the full list of libraries, along with relative paths to source code and short library descriptions. Many of the libraries have been patched ...

Thinking about it, it makes no sense for Google to release a Web browser just for the sake of releasing one. Why hurt FireFox? Why risking releasing a product that will be scrutinized for security flaws? It just doesn't make any sense. So why do it? The only sensible reason I came with is this one: they want a better "runtime" for their Gmail, Documents and other Web apps. Why? Creating complex Ajax apps cost ...

Probably one of the hardest challenges that I am facing with writing the book is to know what to say and what to leave unsaid. Phrasing it another way, it is choosing at what level to talk to the reader. On the one hand, I really want the reader to be able to make immediate use of the concepts that I am talking about, which drive me to do more practical demonstrations, code samples and ...

It's amazing to watch just how sensitive some companies are concerning the rather well-known security vulnerabilities associated with RFID tags and smart cards. We've seen time and time again, companies try to suppress such research from getting published -- and every single time, those efforts to suppress the publication of the vulnerabilities backfires, often badly. But that never seems to stop companies from flexing their legal muscles. The latest example comes to use via the ...

snydeq writes "Consuming twice as much RAM as Firefox and saturating the CPU with nearly six times as many execution threads, Microsoft's latest beta release of Internet Explorer 8 is in fact more demanding on your PC than Windows XP itself, research firm Devil Mountain Software found in performance tests. According to the firm, which operates a community-based testing network, IE8 Beta 2 consumed 380MB of RAM and spawned 171 concurrent threads during a multi-tab ...

So, Google is coming out with a new browsers, while at the same time they are also responsible for a large part of both FireFox and Opera's budgets. I think that this is a very interesting development. In particular, because Google thinks about the browser as a complementary offer to what it does, or as a baseline platform, not as the actual end result. This get really interesting when you think that in this scenario, ...

The Farhat family cut up all their credit cards except for one (which they put on ice), and found that living plastic-free saved them 24%—because they just didn't buy the things they didn't have money to afford at the moment. They cut down on time spent shopping, too. Marissa Farhat said, "I don't have enough money in my purse to go buy this new dress or this new shirt that I want, so you don't ...
