TheBranca18··on UK Government: Climate change scientists broke the law hiding data
The article talks about climate change. You might want to learn the difference between climate change and global warming before you dismiss it with a one-liner.
TheBranca18··on Live from the Apple 'latest creation' event
Engadget definitely has a severe bias towards Apple compared to say Sony or Microsoft.

Their readers are technophiles who can figure out whether to be excited on their own unless it's not obvious. Seeing some of the stuff on the iPad isn't terribly exciting for me. They haven't shown the eReading capabilities yet though.

TheBranca18··on TechCrunch Hacked
Unfortunately I'm stuck with Drupal 6. And if you do a backtrace in any custom module there will literally be thousands of functions listed. It may have 'tons of extensibility' but at least Drupal 6 is a cluster mess. Sure it may give less experienced programmers ability to do things quickly but as a more experienced programmer I find the rigidity of it to be stifling.

Does TC have programmers? Why then would they use Drupal? Drupal for programmers is some of the most horrible code I've ever come across. Hey let's look at this back trace of THOUSANDS of functions.

-Unfortunately responsible for maintaining a Drupal install at work...

TheBranca18··on Netflix streaming video to be available on Wii
I'm not sure the Wii qualifies any better than a macbook. Struggling to do 480p, which you concede could possibly be the highest resolution it will output, does not make it better than a macbook IMO.
TheBranca18··on Google Chrome more popular than Safari
Well iTunes especially has been a resource hog on Windows in my experience. Between the ipodservicehelper.exe and the itunes.exe itself taking a lot of memory I think there is room for improvement there.
TheBranca18··on A cool way of finding a good web developer
Not cool at all.
TheBranca18··on Introducing Google Building Maker
Yeah I'm disappointed and too lazy to open up VirtualBox. Building Maker is probably better off anyway without my contributions.
TheBranca18··on Yahoo’s $3.65 Billion Mistake: Yahoo Closes GeoCities
I guess I didn't think of it that way. I was thinking more of the barrier for a regular user to get started. From what I remember, the wizard for a casual user wasn't that great, so knowing HTML was a necessity. But I could be wrong.
TheBranca18··on Yahoo’s $3.65 Billion Mistake: Yahoo Closes GeoCities
No. Not even close.
TheBranca18··on Google’s Plan to Kill Internet Explorer? Google Wave
I know I don't take advice from highly censorious individuals, let alone government bodies :)
TheBranca18··on US man 'stole 130m card numbers'
I really can't believe they called it 'complicated'.
