When Microsoft began releasing betas of Internet Explorer 9 in 2010, Redmond's huge global user community quickly started uncovering various strengths and weaknesses of the new version. One demerit quickly emerged that still hasn't completely gone away: IE9 doesn't play well with certain versions of the popular rich text editor ("RTE") TinyMCE as well as its main competitor, FCK/CK ...

If you've not seen the UK show (or the local variants that exist in the US, Australia, and Germany), one of the regular features is to set a timed lap in a vehicle as part of a review. Same track, same(ish) driver, and therefore a reasonable comparison on performance.

I had lunch the other day with a couple of acquaintances who work at a systems integrator (SI) that does a lot of work for the federal government (a.k.a., "beltway bandit").
They pointed out that, like SharePoint of yore, Drupal was all the rage among US federal web managers under this current administration. So naturally this SI went looking for experienced Drupal talent. And could not find any ... Continue Reading

Google finally released its much rumored Google Drive, a new competitor in the increasingly crowded cloud-based file sharing and sync marketplace. As with all things Google, the Drive announcement generated a huge amount of hype across the blogosphere and twitterverse.
