One question - I use vagrant with VirtualBox as the provider. Has any body used vagrant with the VMware provider. Wondering if one sees better performance on vmware than virtualbox. Specially when you are running everything (host and guest) on the same hdd.
Looking to see what tools the community use to do development on os x1) Develop as is on os x by directly installing various tools and apis on the machine 2) Using virtual box - VHD on same HDD as where OS X is installed. 3) Using virtual box - VHD on storage other than main HDD where OS X is installed 4) Using Vagrant - VHD on same HDD as where OS X is installed 5) Using Vagrant - VHD on...
When we see todays enterprise IT products, you get a feeling of being transported back to the 90s, old stodgy corporations ripe with bureaucracy moving at a snails pace when compared to the products churned out by todays small agile technology startups. How do we bring enterprise technology to the 21st century.
Its been now close to a decade and half since I have been working with software development and I feel like there are new trends that while I have heard of, I dont have a working knowledge of. A decade ago, when I was starting out and when I met older people in technology, I saw that they held on to what they learned early on and there was a gap in their working knowledge - of things they knew...
My objective is to work for myself and eventually turn that into a sustainable business, but I am having a hard time trying to figure out what exactly are the next steps in order to move towards my objective. My current perspective is one of trying to find a idea for a product or service as starting point. Do I need a different perspective ? or Just not thinking hard enough on what product or...
I would like to look into starting a business and cant really think of any products to start off with. I feel offering businesses implement solutions can be a start as I am using my technical and business skills and then if I can see a need for a product I could eventually develop it. Worse case just continue running a solutions business. To that effect how good are the partner programs that...

I am facing a problem of managing our photos and videos. The problem is me and my wife take photos and video using our 2 iPhones, 1 iPad, 1 canon DSLR and 1 Fuji Point and Shoot and then find ourselves looking for pictures in various devices. Also as a result we have no physical pictures because all the photos are scattered in different places and have not been consolidated. I am sure other...
Lots of sites offer to avoid creating accounts with them and instead allow you to sign in with yor google or Facebook account. For eg Flickr. If I were to sign up for flickr using my google id what am I giving up in return for the convinence of not having to create a separate Flickr account. How much privacy am I giving up ? Given a sign up choice website specific account vs google/Facebook...
We got two iPhone 3GS' in Aug 2009. Both phones work fine just that they are slow. I would like to get new phones but hate the fact that I have to throw these away. What have other people done ?
I use gmail and over the years have accumulated a lot of mails. Some that I'd like to keep and some that I'd like to get rid off. The Issue is that I have about 5000 emails and going one by one is not an option. I would like to know if there are any tools that will allow me to mine my inbox orif there is a better way to deal with the problem of having a big inbox, because if the size of the...
From a business perspective the platform gives an opportunity to use InfOrmation creatively and develop products and sell them. I don't see how such a personal information based business model can sustain for two decades unless it's ok for us as a society to live as a statistic because of the sheer amont of data that has been created and analyzed on individuals and groups.
Does any body see any issues with that? Things could be worse from a privacy perspective: a Facebook OS. But the bigger question is is this the right direction for us as a society ? Is this the right direction for capitalism. The argument should be looked from both sides.

I am curious to find out what files are being installed and where on my hdd when I install a program on my HDD. I am wondering if there is a way to start a 'monitor' before the installer runs such that it will show hdd/filesystem activity and that will show what new files/directories were created and which existing ones were touched modified.Atleast in Windows, I knew where the files were...
