What Makes Programmers Good?: LockerGnome - What Makes Programmers Good? by Guest Blogger:

I’ve spent a long time in IT. In fact, when I started it was called Data Processing, which is a term that hasn’t been in vogue for 20 years. In all that time, I’ve had two kinds of job — development or operational. So, I’ve spent over thirty years either designing and building systems or […]

Guest blogger Eric Hampton writes: Technology may have a new boss, but this boss certainly isn’t new to technology. Former Google executive Marissa Mayer has been named the new CEO of Yahoo! — the struggling “premier digital media company,” as it calls itself.

How 3D Printing Could Change Our World: LockerGnome - How 3D Printing Could Change Our World by Ron Schenone:

When I first read about the future of 3D printing, I was amazed at how far we had come from the days of old. I know that when I purchased my first color printer all those many long years ago, (the early ’90s), it made me feel like a king. At the time, this simple […]

Do You Know How to Drive a Manual Transmission?: LockerGnome - Do You Know How to Drive a Manual Transmission? by Dan Gray:

I learned how to drive a manual transmission before I learned to drive a car. It was a natural back then, as a much higher percentage of cars sold in America were equipped with manuals. I started out with the lawn tractor and a few motorbikes before tackling the family car. Over the decades, out […]

Google Nexus 7: How Accurate Are Defect Reports?: LockerGnome - Google Nexus 7: How Accurate Are Defect Reports? by Ron Schenone:

Are the reported defects surrounding Google’s new Nexus 7 true, or just something being rehashed for lack of something better to write about? This is the question I posed to Chris last Sunday afternoon when I suggested writing this article. My premise was that, if a search is made on the Internet referencing the topic, […]

Amazing Alex: as Amazing as It is Addicting?

Amazing Alex: as Amazing as It is Addicting?: LockerGnome - Amazing Alex: as Amazing as It is Addicting? by Elliot Guest:

Amazing Alex is a Rovio game — but is it a great one? The Short Review Amazing Alex is heavily cartoon-themed, is clearly aimed for a younger generation, and has graphics that won’t stress any devices on the market. Indeed, it works well enough on my year-old HTC Sensation. The music is quirky, if a […]

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of seeing a patent settlement (or lawsuit) announced as the headline of the day almost every single day for the past several months.

Many don’t know that Microsoft has had so many promising research projects that never made it fully into production. About 1,100 employees are working in Microsoft’s Worldwide Research Division.
