The advent of SSD has been redefining moment in PC history. Earlier when friends or relatives complained about slow PC, solution offered was add more "RAM" which was not possible as "RAM" always kept evolving with tie up to motherboards.

But now my first suggestion for them is to go for SSD, which instantly fixes their old "slow" PCs. Thus eliminating the need to buy a new PC/laptop.


Very true. SSD make a huge difference no matter your hardware, and certainly makes any old system look fresh as new.


Can you please explain how it differs from skeleton ? Would be helpful in choosing for new projects.


I was under the impression that skeleton is no longer actively developed? Looks like the last commit on their github repo is from 2012.


Agree, however haven't found any problems with it. Isn't the point of minimalist framework is to avoid feature creeps with each iteration? Realistically it's a simple CSS framework.


But the browser landscape keeps changing?


but if you do grids, and they already work now, what do you add in the next iteration?

It's not like float: left and width: 30% will stop working in the foreseeable future.


Sorry but don't agree at all. Web will continue to be mostly uncensored while content in app store will always be be closely censored.


I think they have great margin on Macs. If they would like to explode that figure of Macs sold, they should sell ones with Bootcamp installed (with windows licenses and additional cost), I am pretty sure they will sell a lot more with that.


You got to remember Bing is coming off a much smaller base. I don't see grand plans with Bing, as oppose to google. For eg, Google envisioned Adwords and worked on "free" google analytics. This way they have very wide penetration in web sites market and they know each individual user behaviour which can then be marketed based on their interests.


I don't know where they're getting those numbers, but nearly 20% search share is nothing to sneeze at if it's true.


Does this include the earnings they get from powering Yahoo?


Seems quiet odd coming from a company that makes its living by selling cookie cutter sites/themes. I have seen this similar styling on several other sites even before GraphicRiver.


Seriously buddy you are missing out on a lot of fun!


How long does it lasts ? Does this mean we have perfect food replacement for the apocalypse ?


Up to a year, according to [1]. A staff member on their forum said similar, [2] "We're probably going to stick with 1 year shelf life when kept in cool dark place, thought it'll likely be much longer in actuality."

IMHO, yes you should ask to work remotely and no, you shouldn't take a paycut.

If anything there should be more allowances because you will be saving Employer's expenses that he usually does per employee in a physical office. You will instead be paying for Electricity etc.


Well the problem comes up when multiple pages share the same CSS files. How can we find "unused" classes in that case? Is serving css file per page an alternative ? Only if we follow guidelines like SMACSS to structure the CSS, it's possible. Anyone has any other solutions?
