Why I Don't Use Facebook | John C. Dvorak | PCMag.com
retro
- Which begs the question as to why anyone would use Facebook when it is essentially AOL done right? The fastest growing group on Facebook are people in their 70's. Oldsters are flocking to Facebook the way they once did with AOL. Facebook is a simple system for the masses that do not really care about technology and do not want to learn anything new except something easy like Facebook.

Tagneto: CommonJS Module Trade-offs
- I see it as the CommonJS module spec making a specific bet: treating the browser as a second class module citizen will pay off in the long run and allow it to get a foothold in other environments where Ruby or Python might live.
Historically, and more importantly for the future, treating the browser as second class is a bad bet to make. - If RequireJS makes it into jQuery core, I'm on board. jQuery is always loaded on every page here. If we have JavaScript, we have jQuery.
My primary concern right now is that we're working on a huge codebase currently in production that is used by millions of visitors per month. If we adopt an intrusive module loader like RequireJS, and then jQuery adopts a different module loader, we are going to have a mandate to move to jQuery's standard module loader.
What are the chances this is going to land in jQuery officially?
That is the million-dollar question.
