APIs are for human beings (too) - Twilio Engineering BlogTwilio Engineering Blog
Computers don’t care about API design. Convenient serialization formats, sane parameter names, and a RESTful interface mean nothing to a robot. These aspects of an API are not meant for a machine, they’re meant for you – the developer. APIs should be for human beings first and computers second.

Forrester to your IT dept: Let them use Macs — Apple News, Tips and Reviews
Snow Leopard clients have tons of issues with SMB shares and we had to dumb down our Windows 2008 R2 security because Mac’s cant connect to it.

A static HTML generator. It's a small template system I use to generate this site. It parses text files (HTML or not, it doesn't really care) and outputs the result, allowing you to include other files and embed python code.
It’s the end of the web as we know it « Adrian Short
The conclusion here should be obvious: if you really care about your site you need to run it on your own domain. You need to own your URLs. You’ll have total control and no-one can take it away from you. You don’t need anyone else. If you put the effort in up front it’ll pay off in the long run.

The facial recognition revolution – Global Public Square - CNN.com Blogs
Imagine being able to pull up a résumé, Facebook profile, tax records and vital statistics just by taking a photograph. Consider how this will change social interaction and dynamics in public spaces - on the streets, at a conference, on campus, at an anti-government protest, in the personal care aisle of your local supermarket and in nightclubs.

TwitLonger: Dear Google, I would like to bring to your attention a few things before I disconnect permanently f
I do not care that a Google service is free. That is Google embracing a “You don’t like it? Too bad, it’s free anyway” approach. Free or not, all users are in the Google orbit and it is through advertising to us, their base, that Google has made the billions of dollars they have. There is no other corporation trading stock at the level of Google that does not offer customer support, plain and simple.
Et il a mis 6 ans à s'en rendre compte, c'est ça le plus triste.

LAUNCH Conference - Blog - LAUNCH002: What I Learned from Zuckerberg's Mistakes
The cost of social glue. Accepting mistakes will happen and take care of them when they happen or avoiding as much as possible the mistakes by a requirement document in advance.Then it really hit me: Developer-driven startups always produce product faster.This stands to reason: our nontechnical people are having discussions and debates while Zuckerberg is coding his next feature. This is why no one has been able to keep up with Facebook!

The Report an Error Alliance
buttons and badges more than content.Giving site visitors an easy-to-find, easy-to-use “report an error” button is a way of saying to them that you care about accuracy, you want to know when you make errors, and you’re conscientious about fixing them. It’s like putting a “you can trust this” badge on everything you publish.
