funkiee··on You won’t be adding an aftermarket SSD to your new iMac
Let's be honest. Adding an SSD to your iMac was never really easy in the first place unless you liked looking at dust behind glass.
funkiee··on What is it really like to visit Silicon valley?
As a small town southern boy who moved to the "big city" (Charleston, South Carolina), I'm actually interested in seeing photo series like this. Maybe one day my city will be up to that level.
funkiee··on Source Code Pro (monospaced Source Sans), released open source by Adobe
I recommend and use Droid Sans Mono for your IDE of choice. I used to jump back and forth between fonts, but settled on it about a year ago.

funkiee··on How we ship GitHub for Windows
I can't seem to find the source anywhere on GitHub for "GitHub for Windows". I work on a build team (Mostly MSBuild but transitioning to Workflow builds in the future) so I'm always interested in seeing everyone's Build and Deploy scripts.
funkiee··on Dropbox dives into CoffeeScript
It's nice to see some more prominent companies using CoffeeScript that people could point to if they ever wanted to convince their boss.

Did any of the other Dropbox employees have a hard lead-in time getting used to the syntax in CoffeeScript? Would you say you run into a lot fewer syntax errors when running validation now?

funkiee··on Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Reviewed
Good to know that I'm an idiot for thinking that VS2012 is trying to follow guidelines by a product in RTM instead of a product that is in beta and I have no interaction with. Of course I'm also just in a bad mood because I have to use the Pending Changes window in VS 2012 on a daily basis.
funkiee··on Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Reviewed
This quote rings very true to me: "Speaking off the record, a Microsoft employee with the Windows 8 team confessed that the Metro team was "very surprised" when they saw how the Visual Studio team had interpreted the Metro guidelines. We share in his puzzlement."

Visual Studio stands out even from other Windows 8 system applications in its usage of the "Metro" style.

funkiee··on Mountain Lion UX Fail
Arrow keys would probably work too to select it.
funkiee··on Final Fantasy comes to Ouya
I'm not exactly sure what they're saying here other than "Android games can run on our Android console".
funkiee··on The Backbone + CoffeeScript book is ready
Would it be possible to have a sample chapter on the website?
funkiee··on We're not going to patch the patch
I've heard around $10,000. It's not much if you're a larger studio, but if this patch could potentially introduce more issues, the costs could add up.
funkiee··on Siri vs. Google Search (Jelly Bean)
I wonder a bit if the speed comparison has anything to do with the servers that are being hit for the processing on Google's side aren't being hit nearly as much as on Apple's side. Beta product versus Release product.
funkiee··on Apple to become most profitable company ever
I continue to hope that more companies will take the lesson from Apple and start doing more in-house engineering with a focus on quality and not the race to the bottom.
funkiee··on The Real Reason They Still Play 'Mrs. Robinson' On The Radio
I'm not sure why this lists GE as having Comcast as a notable property. They only co-own NBC Universal with Comcast.
