Coding Horror: Why Can't Error Messages Be Fun? - Chrome is a joy to use, and in my opinion at least, it's the first true advance in web browser technology since the heady days of Internet Explorer 4.0. Chrome is filled with so many thoughtful details, so many reimaginings of web browser functio...

I tend to think of interoperability as a gradient. The old industry stalwart from the 1990's is what I'd call "runtime interoperability", wherein you could write a Java EE application, deploy it on a Java EE application server, and (with a questionable amount of tweaking), get it to operate. SQL was...

Many of you are familiar with TED, the annual conference where great thinkers, visionaries, experts, and creators get up and expound on ideas in a 15 (or is it 18?) minute timespan, the results of which end up on video for people around the world to digest. The big problem with TED is that the barri...

The self-publishing revolution continues. My comments on this are mostly snarky, and I can't claim to have followed its developments very closely. But right off the top of my head I feel compelled to remind everyone that Lambert allows "self-publishing" on this web site for people, for free. There's...

Or rather, those who supposed they were in the Master Class and are finding out that wasn't so true after all. I don't know much about economics. Maybe Forbes does, though. I read this with great interest, for all I probably didn't understand it. Here's my dramatic oversimplification/reaction: Taxat...

QuickBooks is one of those key business applications that many people who are considering a switch to the Mac are worried about leaving behind. While QuickBooks 2009 for Mac might be the perfect answer for many, others do not want to give up some of the key features of the Windows version. Intuit pr...

This is a dense, sober, fact-based post that people should read, but likely won't. That's a shame. There are many lighter and easier to read posts out there which say, more or less, many of the same things; you can find them if you search for them- here, and at other "hater" blogs. I'll try to simpl...

Well, my good friends over at Parallels hooked me up with a free copy of Parallels Desktop 4 for my MacBook. But before we get started here, you should know that Microsoft, VMware and just about anyone else with virtualization software will hook me up too. So my comments here are unbiased as always....

LAT For a change, the reporter actually went there and talked to real live Afghani fighters. Bottom line: there is no "victory" to be had there. At this point, I'm completely cynical about anything I hear coming from American politicians on what we're supposedly doing there. We're there to enrich en...
