The US authorities can already seize domains under their jurisdiction (as to whether or not the process is legal, I think the jury is still out on that). This includes .com/.net/.org/.us. Google 'ICE domain seizures'.

So I'm not using Opera right now then? Thanks for clearing that up for me. Perhaps you should consider that even a few percentage point share of the browser market still translates to millions of users. About 50 million on Opera Desktop

Although he did specifically call out Ruby on Rails I rather think he meant ActiveRecord the pattern [0] rather than ActiveRecord the implementation [1]. Ruby on Rails' ActiveRecord has come a long way and actually implements proper relatio

I switched to Opera for exactly this reason; it's way faster at jumping back and forward between previously rendered pages. As a consequence I open far fewer tabs than I did in Chrome or FF* but I still open a hell of a lot. So speed is def

I particularly liked this quote: Generally, tabs can be seen as a flexible mechanism that is used for a range of tasks none of which they are optimised to cater for. Although, I'm not sure about their proposed solutions. The history is re

The fact that people do this is a strong indication we're missing something fundamental with the browser UI. I'm not nearly as bad as the guy in the article but I do open ridiculous numbers of tabs at times. It seems to me that tabs + bookm

Totally agree. I'm in a similar situation as the OP, and after the initial despondency found that the existence of a competitor is actually incredibly motivating. Not only are things moving along faster now I have someone to benchmark mysel

Just as an FYI, Windows actually supports focus follows mouse with a registry hack [0]. There are a couple of quirks mostly to do with things like tooltips, but I've found it usable. [0] http://sinewalker.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/ms-window

I don't agree that it's good reasoning, and indeed most (or all?) early monitors used to be green/amber/white-on-black because it's easier on the eyes. It's not a common problem I know but I have countless floaters swooshing around in my vi

I do the same on a Netbook with 2G of RAM. It gets a little hairy sometimes so I always need to keep an eye on Process Explorer, but the performance boost is huge . As far as I'm aware, there's no other method to disable the default Window

How about "circle us" on Google+? Edit: I did see mentioned on G+ that they would eventually build in support for organisations, so presumably you would add them to one of your circles if you wanted to receive updates.

Interesting that they're adding additional details of the person you're conversing with to the right above the ads. I wonder what that means for Rapportive.

I feel like I must be missing something here; how is the 2/3rds that don't use Mac OS the smaller market? And as others have pointed out, the market doesn't just consist of GitHub users, or even Git users. In this case, it's developers

He meant bubble as in 'echo-chamber', and in that sense of the word it isn't overused. It's not outlandish or absurd to design something you might want, but it is a bit silly to ignore a larger market with the same underlying need.

I'd leave it as is or keep it short; intro sequences are pretty tedious especially if you watch several videos one after the other. The best thing you could do to improve this show is to do more of them, because they rock.
