You may notice that we are constant tinkerers when it comes to our product. We are indeed our own biggest critics, and combined with all our users' great feedback, you've got a recipe for constant improvement!
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 ...
It’s official. We’re in a recession. Recessions naturally inject fear and panic, which is only heightened by every discussion of market losses, layoffs, bailouts, and somber predictions. We’re only human after all; of course everything affects us personally and emotionally.
Fear is not a catalyst for productivity however.
With valuable advice pouring in from concerned and sympathetic entrepreneurs and proven leaders, businesses are indeed responding quickly to make decisions that equate to a secure and prosperous future—hopefully.
This constructive advice has helped businesses focus and weigh difficult decisions sooner than they might have without it.
However ...
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.
Give it a shot. And if you feel inclined to address your well-wishes to @mashable, well…we’d be honored.

It's widely rumored that Apple (AAPL) will be refreshing its Mac mini soon -- perhaps during marketing exec Phil Schiller's keynote at next month's Macworld conference. (They sure need to -- Apple's desktop Mac sales plummeted last month.) So is this picture obtained by Macenstein an ad for it?
We highly doubt it. There's a lot of reasons why not in the comments on Macenstein's post -- Apple leaks are never (rarely?) through ads, Apple doesn't use blue LEDs, stupid tag line, etc.
But we think it's even more obvious this is a fake: There ...
Now You See It - Now You Don’t!
Long known as the Magician of Wall Street, the following is a fictionalized account of how Alan Greenspan, magically made America’s life savings disappear and diverted our attention from global warming.
The poster hung by the entrance, features two well dressed and serious looking men, and promises everyone “The Most Amazing Show on Earth”. 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.
What Is the 10,000 Hour Rule?
Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias are not toxic to people or animals, suicides do not increase over the Christmas holidays, and sugar does not make kids hyperactive. Also, Wales winning the rugby grand slam does not influence the death of popes, and douching with Coca-Cola is not an effective contraceptive method.
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 ...
