"On the other hand my Facebook username is just my email address. Never going to forget that." For the audience Yahoo serves it isn't as plain and simple as that. They probably don't own their own domains and run a mail account through that

Rather than creating a website to kvetch about the contents of one domain, I suggest you and your collaborators' time is better spent curating a set of resources that teach what you consider valid information that can be used by people want

Use wrapper methods/classes for each of those HTML5 specific features. Initially, probably for most of the early adopter phase you can get away with using/expecting the HTML5 feature to be present. When you do need to support browsers that

Notepad, Address Book and Calendar are already tightly integrated into My Yahoo, which is what the current Yahoo homepage was originally derived from. Delicious was always an outsider in comparison. Because of that tight integration, I gues

No! We are seeing time and time again that big companies acquiring sites that are not directly relevant to their core businesses leave those acquisitions floundering. Google has the same problems of acquisitions that have just disappeared.

The purpose of an all-hands meeting is to disseminate clear information to employees. In this case, Yahoo has done a very mediocre job in making the message clear. They could have told their own employees the clear truth about the future of

The audience for delicious is quite different to the audience that provides the most eyeballs and clicks that power the actual revenue generation at Yahoo. So pissing off delicious users won't have any serious financial repercussions. And s

I suppose that will end up giving ISPs the right to charge the BBC for handling their video stream traffic. Which effectively means private companies siphoning off BBC license revenue for their own pockets. I really hope that if they go ahe

Patchy 3G coverage in areas is just one example of where a browser that's fully capable of running the latest JavaScript whizzbangs, yet still finds itself in a situation where it doesn't have any JavaScript to run. At this point, the brows

I wonder if there are any examples of SproutCore being used in a decently progressively enhancing way. The last time I looked through, JavaScript disabled/unavailable view was an empty div. Might be strange to pick up the lack of attention
