Free speech is a right that everyone should be entitled to, but when you say something, it&#8217;s all on you if it offends/upsets people. If you say something that a lot of people find offensive/upsetting then you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There aren&#8217;t many downsides to using Twitter, but one of the more obvious ones is the number of bots spewing out spam. Thankfully, no machine is able to pass the Turing test, which means that whether the spam takes the form of @replies or DMs, it is easy to spot that the account is not [...]]]></description>

Software developers had to make a really concerted effort to optimize their code, seeking to use as few CPU cycles and as little memory as possible, today&#8217;s developers are spoiled in comparison. I am genuinely grateful that the guys who took me on after University taught [...]]]></description>

Maybe I&#8217;m in the minority, but I think the Apple press conference on Antenna Gate was perfect. It was such an Apple thing to do.
