From a developer's perspective, a web application (called a website back in the days) is made of two parts: The server side code and the client side code. Writing a program for a web browser is something different than writing for a server. Most of the ...

So, they made this new interface. It was once called Metro, but we now are instructed to not call it that way. That's all good. But how do we call it then? The problem is I want to blog about it. So what? Let's call it Metro. The hell with it. So, now ...

I'm going to rephrase a post I made on Slashdot in Jan 2012. It is about the digital medium in the internet era and how the information economy (books, movies, music) will be affected by it. Make no mistake here, I'm not taking sides, I am just trying to ...

Markus Jakobsson has a nice column on wired.com about passwords, what to do and what not to do. While he makes a nice point in security vs practicality (and the bad password 'evaluation' of most sites), I think he basically gives flawed advices. His ...

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4S with iOS6. A few novelties made the change a nice one, but no clear revolution. Of course the "Maps" app did undergo a major overhaul but that's for another entry. But there's something else new that I'd like to talk ...

You've got a website. Good for you. There is a good case to be made for online advertising. And there is an equally compelling case to be made against. Whether or not you should include advertisement to your website is out of the scope of this little ...

The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change ...

These last few weeks, the press reported a number of incidents with the iPhone. More than isolated incidents, this phenomenon looks more and more like a global issue, and we dare think that the government should step in and declare it a public health ...

I have already talked about my now ex phone: The SPV-C500. This was a phone running Windows Mobile. I now own an iPhone. I probably never would have bought an iPhone, but it was a gift. Until I got one, I was very interested by the iPhone. No doubt I ...

amazon.com (along with others) have started to offer MP3 downloads. No DRM, no hassle. You pay, you download, you own a copy. As simple as pirating the file. As for free music downloads (such as the Radiohead initiative and the latest Harvey Danger album ...

Disclaimer: The following is a fiction, all liability discarded - or so I hope. I used to buy CDs when it comes to acquiring music. I do not do it much anymore, even though I haven't completely stopped. The new distribution I use is called P2P. Why?

A while ago, I discovered eBay. It had all the required attributes (for me) to make itself an indispensable companion: Simple, free and efficient. And I created my first Paypal account, which had all the attributes required (for me) to make the perfect ...

I recently decided that online music was worth a shot. For plenty of reasons, convenience, price, vastness of the catalog, etc... Then began my quest for an online music service. And my discovery of audio formats and DRM. I assumed stupidly that I would ...
