Implement first, optimize later! Don't pre-optimize, because optimization usually introduces code complexity. A lot of the time your code will be "fast enough" or "small enough" to get the job done. Don't get too clever.
Also, plan things out at least a little bit. Don't just start coding. Draw some pictures, talk through some use cases... try and ferret out and plan for some oddball corner cases before your testing finds them.
This product is more innovative than anything Apple has done since the iPod 15 years ago.
...which wasn't all that innovative when it came out, either.... "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." (from http://slashdot.org/story/01/1...:-)
If they are indeed using enough of the sun and interfering with photosynthesis (as one of them was concerned with), then YES, it really could be affecting the price of beer! You need those photos and synthesiserezes to grow hops and barley!
I have a 13 year old larger dog now, and it's hard to see her aging because she's starting to have the typical old age ailments that will eventually get us all. Lots of exercise all her life has helped stave off the aches and pains until recently. I would have paid quite a bit to delay the aging process for her and keep her health.

A used Nissan Leaf that's about three years old with under 30K miles can be found for under $10k if you shop around. The Ford Focus Electric is starting to show up in the same price range (used), but are harder to find. The nice part is that they still have at least five years of warranty on the battery and drive unit. They get about 60 miles per charge in city driving.
AMD is a company struggling to stay afloat and relevant, it doesn't make sense to invest their limited R&D dollars in Linux driver optimization when Linux is a small fraction of the total gaming market (~2% of Steam, last I checked). I think they're probably doing what they need to be doing - improving their crappy Windows drivers.
The funniest part about your comment is believing that airlines serve any sort of food without purchase required.
Meals and alcohol are still 'free' on most international flights... Pro-tip - Always request the Indian or Hindu meal when making your reservation (if offered). It's usually the best tasting airline food you can get, and goes well with the cheap beer/wine that's offered:)
I used to tinker a *lot* more than I do now, but lately I have a more purpose-driven use of devices. This means I like to have them in a working and stable state when I turn them on, so my upgrades are fewer and further between. I think if your hobby is the devices themselves, then you'll upgrade a lot. If you're like me and your hobby/work involves use of the device, the bleeding edge doesn't matter so much unless the latest patch/whatever directly impacts what you're doing.
Here's a previous reply I made on the same subject:
I'm a coder who stands all day...and I've been doing it for over two years now. I used to experience back pain when I sat all day, but that went away after a month or so. I used to get sleepy after lunch when I sat all day... not so much anymore. You really do get used to it. A few suggestions for those who want to try it:
1) Make the switch the first day you get back from a longer holiday and are already out of your normal routine.
2) You *must* get a nice floor mat, preferably a dense memory foam mat designed for standing cubes. Working in your socks (if your employer will let you) while standing on said mat almost feels like a foot massage.
3) Another *must* - don't get a desk-height chair! At least, not for a while. You'll find yourself sitting way too often and never get adjusted to standing all day. Most of my fellow "standing" co-workers that have tall chairs sit at least 80% of the time.
4) It takes a couple weeks to get used to standing. Stick with it.
They rolled out an update to their almost forgotten Roadster that took the range from 245 to 400 miles recently... I assume they've hit upon a new algorithm to manage their drive motors and battery use.
I like keeping my phone in my pocket rather than taking it out 50+ times per day to see if an email or text is trivial or not.
This. I didn't realize how annoying it actually was until I didn't have to do it anymore. I like my current Pebble 2 quite a bit, and am looking forward to the Pebble 3.
...I was excited to see this, and backed it immediately. My Pebble has changed my use pattern of my phone quite a number of positive ways. I didn't realize how many email notifications, calls, texts, etc. that I was reaching in to my pocket to check and respond to, but could have ignore for a while (or forever). Also, I have Tetris (err... Pebtris) on my wrist!:)
...is that every scalable font is rendered using computational geometry. All curves in characters are defined with three or more points, and your computing device of choice does a lot of math to render pretty little characters for you.

As someone who has been standing at a desk for the last 2+ years (programming), I can attest that a really good foam floor mat helps a lot. They make some specifically for standing desks that are quite comfortable. Standing on it in your socks actually feels pretty good. It does take a couple weeks to get used to standing most of the day.
...what you put in to it. I went to a local state university for CS, and I studied hard and did well in school. Four years later I had my BS in CS in hand having paid less than $15K in tuition (and that wasn't all that long ago). I got a job locally with the help of referrals by professors who had good working relationships with many of the local tech employers. In short, my entire education was a helluva bargain, and helped launch my career.
Does anyone find it just a little coincidental that this latest Google fiber rollout is only about 20 miles from the NSA's newest datacenter in Bluffdale UT? Lots of bandwidth infrastructure was already in the neighborhood:)
I have an HP ElitePad that has 32GB total storage. It's an awesome Win8 tablet (although running an Atom, so quite a bit slower than a Surface 2). The Win8 installation takes about 23GB of that 32, leaving 8 to 9GB for various things.
I'm not sure about iOS, but the Android SDK gives access to a excellent and easy to use crypto libraries, as well as a Keystore class to securely store any keys your App generates. Check out the Security Tips section of the SDK docs.
I would assume iOS and Apple's SDK provide something similar. I would hope they do, anyway.

A Tesla did almost that same trip in just under 59 hours recently: http://jalopnik.com/they-drove... ...they'll get better times every year, I'm sure.

... you won't see it for months. The 6700k was a paper launch- lots of marketing with no product. The few you can get are marked up by 50% or more.

When I read "Big-3 console manufacturers" in the summary, I thought "Three? Who's the third? .. .... Oh yeah, Nintendo." How sad.
