A Story About Steve Jobs And Attention To Detail : The Two-Way hide captionApple CEO Steve Jobs at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco in June. Paul Sakuma/AP No doubt there are plenty of career retrospectives about the just-departed Apple CEO Steve Jobs today. But there's one story, perhaps, that's piercing because it portrays the exacting nature of Apple's former CEO. He writes that on a Sunday morning in 2008, he received a call during a religious service. "Hey Steve — this is Vic," I said. The CEO of Apple — the tech visionary who revolutionized personal computers, the way we listen to music and the way we think of mobile devices — was worried about the yellow in the second "O" in Google. "It was a lesson I'll never forget," wrote Gundotra.
LetsCode1 Introduction My name is Michael Goodfellow. The first time I touched a computer was probably in 1971, and I immediately wanted to know how to program it. I learned programming writing computer games (which were played on typewriter-style terminals connected to mainframes), but I never got to write one professionally. But now Minecraft has come out and become a hit -- and it's a one-person project. When I've worked on projects before, it's just been me, the computer and complete silence, since none of my friends are interested in this kind of impossible project. Finally, I know there are many other open source projects out there with rich frameworks. The fact is, writing code with a blank slate where you can go off in any direction is fun. So let's get coding! Part 1: It's a Small World Since Minecraft is so popular, let's start with a world made of cubes. If you are going to build out of cubes, the first data structure that comes to mind is the Octree. We can do a landscape the same way.

The Works: What’s Included in Adobe CS5 Master Collection Posted 04/12/2010 at 4:01pm | by J.R. Bookwalter Adobe took the wraps off the Creative Suite 5 Master Collection today, which prompted us to ask: What does your $2,599 (or $899 upgrade) get you these days? As it turns out, the CS5 Master Collection packs quite a punch for the money. With that in mind, let’s break down the list of individual components included with Creative Suite 5 Master Collection, which bundles together $6,987 worth of software for a “mere” $2,599 (for new purchasers -- an upgrade is also available from prior versions, as well as from other Creative Suite bundles). Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended Other than that, both editions of Photoshop CS5 pack on the new features, including content-aware fill, which allows users to remove any object from an image and magically fill the space left in its place. In the “improved” category, Photoshop CS5 is now 64-bit when running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (or Microsoft Windows 7 or Vista, if you swing that way). Adobe Illustrator CS5
How PowerShell Differs From the Windows Command Prompt You may have noticed a new command-line environment in Windows since Windows 7 — PowerShell. PowerShell is a much more powerful command-line shell and scripting language than the Command Prompt is, giving Windows system administrators a useful command-line environment. PowerShell is more complicated than the traditional Command Prompt, but it’s also much more powerful. The Command Prompt was dramatically inferior to shells available for Linux and other Unix-like systems, but PowerShell competes favorably with the shells available for other platforms. How PowerShell Differs From the Command Prompt PowerShell is actually very different from the Command Prompt. PowerShell makes use of pipes, just as Linux and other Unix-like systems do. PowerShell isn’t just a shell you use. The Command Prompt is essentially just a legacy environment carried forward in Windows — an environment that copies all of the various DOS commands you would find on a DOS system.
