It would be nice if every browser installation came with a unique fingerprint, like a public ssh key that you could give to sites as a form of two-factor authentication.
Did we read the same article? The one I read promoted eating fruit over drinking juice:
"Juice removed from the fruit is just concentrated fructose without any of the naturally-occurring fiber, pectin, and other goodies that make eating a whole fruit good for you [...] So, my first piece of advice is to get out of the juice habit altogether. It’s expensive, and it’s not worth it."
Perhaps you missed the line "My second piece of advice is to only drink juices that you make yourself", which is soon followed by a nice SEO-friendly link on the text "See here for where to buy juicers and Vitamix blenders."?
Why would a juice machine company want people buying juice from shops?
Maybe he missed the part on their website where they said the firm uses 'journalism' to generate publicity for their clients.
I've mentioned on here before but the best book I read in grade school was Vance Packard's The Hidden Persuaders about how PR and advertising people manipulate public opinion. Sorry to say this fifty year old book is out of print, check your library and you won't be sorry.
I'm all in favor of anything that puts upgrade pressure on users of IE 6 and 7, but this rolling "current and previous major releases" idea is silly. They should simply establish minimum browser requirements like everybody else and update them when it makes sense to, not arbitrarily leaving it to whenever the browser makers release new versions.
"Current and previous major releases" is a peaceful approach. There is no discretion involved - at no point was an active decision made to cut off your IE 7 users.
Plus, your FF 4 users will know exactly when FF support will be dropped - the day FF 6 is released. Simple.
In my few months with Couch I've found it to live up to its "relax" motto, at least until I hit pagination. What you have to go through will seem grotesque to anyone coming from SQL.
haven't used this but i saw this on SO the other day ... I just started looking at the whole NoSQL paradigm to experiment in the near future and i felt it was helpful to track some tags on StackOverflow to learn about issues people face...
