Ballmer is correct - Windows 8 is make-or-break for Microsoft

The upcoming 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows, which Microsoftologists have taken to calling Windows 8 because Redmond has yet to announce an official name, has been appearing here and there and getting some press in the process.

And the image that’s emerging is of Windows 8 as Microsoft’s take on the mobile transition, with the new OS running on everything from smart phones to server clusters.

The reason Why I've migrated from Gentoo to Debian

Gentoo, my old love. My linux favorite disto for 3 and a half years. My almost perfect OS ... The trick is in the details, one has said. Here the word "almost" is the key. The key to the answer - is gentoo the perfect OS.

The Zen of Python

Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. Readability counts. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity. Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. Now is better than never.

OMG - Millions of Facebook Users Underage

It's the social network bombshell no one in a zillion years saw coming: millions of Facebook users are underage. I know. Gasp.

That's according to Consumer Reports' annual "State of the Net" survey, in which the watchdog routinely checks with over 2,000 U.S. households about Internet usage and related online behavior. Last year the survey revealed the majority of U.S. households using social networks like Facebook and MySpace had doubled between 2009 and 2010.
