There are 3 basic rules to software programming. Most people don’t know them. Or if they do, they probably don’t know how to properly articulate them. So I’m going to spell out the 3 rules for you.

When the new iTunes 10 came out, one thing that immediately caught my eye were the close, minimize, maximize buttons (the “red, yellow green” buttons if you’re confused). Here is what we have in iTunes 10 which is different from all the previous versions of iTunes and all other Apple software. Hmm, I’m not sure I like the vertical buttons. The horizontal had a lot going for them. Will this be a new trend or did someone simply try something new to see how it went.

I’m sure that there are a lot of pro-vaccine people out there breathing a sigh of relief right now. Finally it has been proven that the Autism link and the MMR shot was pure bullshit. As a new Dad, I’ve heard a lot about vaccinations and the risks. There are a lot of people touting that the shots are unsafe. And that their child “changed” after getting the shots. You’ll here some very passionate speeches from both the sides of the argument and quite honestly, I’m not really one to get in on either side.
