   About design, I have only 1 thing to say. Use gradients or don't use gradients, PICK ONE. If you use gradients, then all (or most of) your elements need gradients. I recommend removing gradients, as sometimes gradients are hard to make work

   Well the formatting on the transcript for the official site is pretty disgusting.

   Why did they choose an 8 bit look? While it's good for nostalgia, I'm not sure that's smart if you're championing the future of gaming. PS: I actually think the 8bit looks is kinda ugly.

   Thanks for your review! It's given me a lot to think about. >3 across list scaling Yes this is a good point. You consider a horizontal scrollbar breaking right? >labels Most of the textfields are 'labeled' with the html5 placeholder

    I've been working on this for the past 4 weeks or so. It was supposed to be a weekend hack, but I kept on wanting to 'polish' it and it turned out to have a lot more features than a MVP calls for... Any advice, critiques on design or conten

    Problem is you can see by the comment count how much people don't care about the actual startup news.

    Next move, suddenly youtube stops encoding in h.264 and youtube won't be able to be played on the iPad. And Android tablets look a LOT better.

    Please someone explain the downvote. redis is a k/v store that will force you to write a lot of code to get the results you want out of it, people use it for purposes like caching, not storing your main content which you'll want to query in

    I developed something similar here: http://hipchan.com And why redis? It's definitely the wrong database for the job. couchdb is indubitably a better choice here.

    This makes sense in the era of webapps and python and java. If people were still reliant on programs explicitly written for x86 this would never go anywhere.

    As captain obvious as this sounds, but Star Wars is a very pro American film espousing a very American point of view. I hope this is true, but there are plenty of examples in history where it isn't. For instance, pre-WWII Japan also blended

    I'm one of those who dove head first into NoSQL primarily because of hype. I've learned better. Relational is now my default, and I identify specific cases, specific tables that I know for sure won't need complex querying, and move those to
