This to me is no different than plagiarism. All Pharrell and Thicke had to do was give credit where credit was due, pay a little royalty and they would have been able to avoid all this nonsense. Instead they say give the credit to a Vicodin and alcohol high.
I don't see why there's so much hate and jealousy regarding this issue. If the company wants to spend their money on these initiatives, then that's their prerogative. The first thing people comment about every time this issue comes up is "reverse sexism" or the plethora of free information online. Does anyone ever consider how role models come into play? How many amazing female coders out there compared to men? Very few. People gravitate towards role models that inspire them as a child and I'm sure one of the inspirational factors is whether or not that role model looks like you. These programs make up for that by creating a safe and encouraging environment for them to learn about this field. If a girl takes a class and hates it and never wants to do it again. That's fine. At least she was given that opportunity. Why is this a problem?
jailbreak your device and change the hosts file to block all ad sites. I copied this hosts file for my mac and my phone

Doing this will block many of the ads in all the apps as well. =)
People pay to use the internet but that money doesn't go towards the creation of sites. That money goes straight to the ISP. As much as I hate it, some sites rely on ad-revenue to exist. So that $230 is for those sites to stay alive.
even with ideas there is a survival of the fittest. young ideas aren't going to just be blatantly accepted. they must be challenged and also challenge what has been established. if they are as strong and as brilliant as they seem, they'll come out on top. also just thinking creativity means nothing, you have to execute creatively. sometimes that means playing your boss' ego against them to get the idea made. a person that can do that is seriously creative.
I fail to understand how anyone could live in downtown san francisco on $35K for 11 months. Additionally are they doing some type of student loan forgiveness for participating in this program? Why would any programmer want to do this?
I bought my Macbook Pro 3 years ago and it's just as powerful today as it was back then. You get what you pay for. I foresee me using my laptop at least another 2 years before I'll need another one. I'm tired of people complaining about how expensive Apple is. If you can't afford it, then don't buy it, and don't complain about it either, just enjoy what you got. Btw, Apple doesn't make the most expensive laptops. Here's an article posted a while back that did a breakdown of the Mac tax, HP tax, Dell Tax, http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/03/31/1744204/Mac-Tax-Dell-Tax-HP-Tax
I gotta agree. I owned a 3G. Never put a case on it but I did have a belt holster. Never dropped it, and it remained intact. I now own a Iphone 4 and I expect the same behavior will allow me to have a crack free screen. It as simple as taking care of your stuff.
The other day one of my co workers placed a glass of wine next to her new Macbook Pro. Her 2 yr old was pretending to a major league pitcher through a sock right at the glass splashing the entire glass onto the keyboard. Any idiot who leaves a beverage next to a computer deserves whatever disasters that may strike. Similarly, not taking care of your phone deserves the same. Even the toughest phones can break.

SAY HELL NO!! the last thing you want them doing is downloading stuff onto your machine. the only way i let someone use my machine is if it's code red and the president needs to get on otherwise it ain't happening.

Thanks for letting us know how we should think.

You obviously have no problem with this being a sausage party.
rapid development of what? websites? mobile? prototyping? try meteorjs if you want to do something in websites.

the swiss aren't as neutral as they seem.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/11/atandt-iphone-4-vs-verizon-iphone-4-whats-changed/ this link shows a side by side comparison between the ATT and Verizon iPhone. The hotspot/tethering will require $50 and that gets you unlimited data for the phone and 2Gb for the tethered device.
Press freedom day? What a sham. The US lost freedom of the press when corporations took over the news papers.
I guess that clit that IBM used to put in the middle of their keyboards was soooo much better.

kids read comic books. they see the pictures in them and parents seem to be fine with this. i don't get it.
