We've released many new usability enhancements across the Socialbrowse site recently. Some of these updates are fairly mundane on the surface, but taken in aggregate provide a much better experience: the Socialbrowse blue is slightly darker, the page header is shorter, and the side columns are sleeker and less dominating. You'll also notice on the profile pages that the comment listings ...

You want that Tweet gift wrapped? New service Tweetwrappr, built within a matter of hours for no real purpose other than the joy of coding, will take that seasonal Tweet of yours and stick a bow on it.

The developers, Hamburg-based design studio Precious-Forever, claim the site was designed, coded and launched within a day. Better still, the team made a video (below) documenting the app’s creation.

Mr. Greenspan and his young assistant, will perform “Feats of Financial Folly”, watch as entire economies disappear before your very eyes! Open to the public - everyone welcome. Price of admission - your life savings.

Great list. It’s good to see factor getting more and more publicity, although I haven’t ‘got’ it yet.

Given the rapid advance of Moore's Law, when does it make sense to throw hardware at a programming problem? As a general rule, I'd say almost always.

Consider the average programmer salary here in the US:

You probably have several of these programmer guys or gals on staff. I can't speak to how much your servers may cost, or how many of them you may need. Or, maybe you don't need any -- perhaps all your code executes on your users' hardware, which is an entirely different scenario. Obviously, situations vary. But even the most rudimentary math ...
