Is there use for the Scroll Lock button anymore?
The scroll lock button seems to be a reminder of the good old green terminal days. Does anyone still use it? Should the 101 button keyboard become the 100 button keyboard? ...

Outdated coding practices
As I do my coding I sometimes wonder if I'm doing things the best way or just the way it's always been done. Does what I'm doing make sense anymore?

"How to do a code review?" or "How to tell a co-worker that her HTML sucks?"

Is Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (3rd edition) outdated?
Hi Stack Overflow, got a quick question for you (pretty much the title): is the book Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (3rd Edition) outdated? It's just that I read a little in it, until page 36 (in a .PDF ebook version) where I came across a problem. The chapter introduces you to Objective-C and Cocoa, and you already have to write a pro...
