		<description><![CDATA[Traditionally, when someone is introduced to programming, the first block of code they write is the infamous "Hello World" program. Unless you're dealing with some esoteric language this program usually consists of just a few or even a single line. There is one popular language out there where, in comparison, Hello World is a monster: Java. If you're a Java coder you may not see it, especially if Java wasn't your first language. Try to look at it from the perspective of a first timer: <a href="http://tinsology.net/2010/02/hello-world-nightmare/">Read More</a>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has ever had an email account is probably very familiar with the "Do not reply" email. They can take the form of notifications from your bank, reminders to pay a bill, a newsletter, or just plain spam. Generally the read a little something like: 
 
Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and you will not 
receive a response. 
 
Usually this is followed by some instructions to follow if you have a question or concern. I imagine at some point in the history of automated emailers someone decided that they did not <a href="http://tinsology.net/2009/12/do-not-reply/">Read More</a>

		<description><![CDATA[After hearing some noise about Google having updated page rank, I got curious and decided to check the PR of this site. I launched this site shortly before the last update, when it was assigned the rank of zero. This time around, to my surprise, I found that the index, as well as one other page was ranked 4. This was surprising because I have not made any deliberate effort to increase the rank of this site. I got bored of submitting to directories, stopping after about 20, I haven't purchased links, spammed blogs or forums, or consulted with an <a href="http://tinsology.net/2009/05/pr-0-to-4-by-accident/">Read More</a>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I read some comments by someone who was upset that Widgetbox modified their policy to prevent the inclusion of ads in the widgets submitted to their directory. The author claimed that this change in policy was uncalled for. All of the ads he inserted into his widgets were easily removable. People were getting these widgets for free so it should be his right to insert his own ads into them, right? <a href="http://tinsology.net/2009/05/ads-and-us-an-uncomfortable-relationship/">Read More</a>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read an excerpt from an interview with Michael Lynton, the CEO of Sony Pictures. To quote him, 
I’m a guy who doesn’t see anything good having come from the Internet. Period. 
He backed up this statement by arguing that the Internet feeds the mentality that people "can have whatever they want at any given time". 
 
For the typical person, day to day use of the Internet is fairly trivial. Read the news, check Facebook, play a game, look up a BBQ chicken recipe, check Facebook again.
