It's amazing how a lot of big financial institutions are still running on COBOL.

Yeah, it is really comical, but it's not "just" a graffiti piece, the same way that the painting of the Campbell's soup can it's not just a painting of a Campbell's soup can, or football is not just 22 guys chasing/transporting a ball. You have to look at the context.
But if you use it for yourself and you pay a fair amount, say production+shipping+administration, you are not really making a benefit.

Re:Instagram Stabbing Itself By Leaving Twitter Cards Off on Monday September 30, 2013 @01:24AM (#6467949)
Nope, at least not in my case. I'd say that only 20-30% of the people I follow on Instagram (mostly Facebook friends) are on Twitter.

You are looking at it from the content consumer perspective. I'll give you the content producer view. When I realized that my Instagram pictures had far less reach on twitter than other options, I stopped using Instagram to share pictures on Twitter.

The fact is that when it comes to SMB the physics are a make it or break it kind of deal. If he hadn't spent that time tweaking them, SMB wouldn't have had a chance to succeed. And I'm not saying that the physics are the key to its success, but they definitely were a requirement.
Re:Developing for iOS 7 and supporting iOS 6 on Wednesday September 25, 2013 @04:36AM (#6443332)
I'm not updating until iOS 7 has been properly jailbroken, which may take more than half a year.
