I closed the window as soon as I saw that. I don't feel the need to give out my info to an unknown service.

This is the setup I use too, but the main downside of it is that sending a message from within Gmail, as an account other than the main account you're logged in as, reveals your main account email address. For example, if you're logged in a

I'll do 5-mile runs through the city (on sidewalks, streets, grass, whatever) without injury. Sure, it took me a while to get to this distance, but running in these is a true pleasure. I also do my gym workouts in them too.

I'm a fan of 1and1.com. They give free private registration, and I haven't had any issues with them over the past couple years of use.

Colin, congrats on the success! It's nice to hear an App Store success story instead of the usual bad news.

Good god, when will the madness end? "Another developer who built an e-book reader received a recent rejection along the same lines. The application might be used to read copyright infringing books, so Apple will not let it in App Store." B

Yeah, it's almost like Apple is trying to advertise FOR the Android market. I've toyed with the idea of developing iPhone apps. But after these last few weeks, I'd be much more inclined to learn the Android API. Sure, the iPhone has a lar

I completely agree. I look forward to my AT&T contract ending with the hope that the Android phones will have caught up with the iPhone's sexiness. If so, I'll definitely consider an Android handset.

Awesome! Every bit of pressure helps the world leave behind IE6. Hopefully this effort will increase pressure for corporate installations to upgrade too.

I agree. Plus, Apple's walled garden approach makes the more open android market a lot more appealing.

When looking at the pricing page, my first question was, "How exactly does this site calculate a visitor session?" If I visit a site on June 1st and then go back on June 7th is that one Visitor Session or two? Maybe put an asterisk next to

I really, really hope that the iPhone "officially" opens to other US carriers after the exclusive contract ends.

Does anyone have any guesses on how this might be different from Android?

Although the article focuses on exercise for older folks, I have a hunch that it applies to younger people too.

My first thought was, "ok, what does this do?" I then tried to figure out the site's purpose based on the limited posts but that wasn't sufficient. I then had to click to the About page. In my opinion, that's way too much thinking to jus

I like your enthusiasm for having tech solve societal problems. And I can see your point but, as an incurable optimist, I still have to believe that one person can make a difference. (Yeah, yeah cue the orchestra with inspirational music.

I second that. Plus, people often subconsciously associate higher rates with better service.

Yeah, this is total BS. It's situations like this that make me consider leaving programming and becoming a lawyer for the ACLU.

I always use Firefox, but today I went to the contest site with IE8 on Vista. The message said, "But you'll never find it using Windows Internet Explorer 7". MS couldn't even detect their own "best ever" browser. Very sad.
