Maybe I'm cynical, but because you emphasis the "money back" part, it feels more like a scam. I was sort-of half expecting an auto-name-generator: "$randomstring.com is still available!" If only 10% don't ask their money back, you make a pr

Actually, Google also seems to have a negative price for Android. As a device maker it's possible to get paid a percentage of add revenue on the devices you build.

Every Indiana jones movie has thought us that, when there are signs of warning, a large treasure is to be found. I wonder if these signs will deter or attract future visitors.

One of the biggest problems Meetup seems to have is that they have a 'one size fits all' model, which shows again here. And most of it is geared towards smaller groups. I'm one of the organizers of a Meetup with 4300+ members. Many things t

It's strange to find a blog of an iOS developer, complaining, which you can't actually read on an iPad. I can't scroll the page at all.

I haven't found any (documented) limits to their free API. While it doesn't have the new added benefits, will it stay free? Unlimited requests?

While Gruber posts this to point out how little control Eric Schmidt has, I'm not that surprised. For a company the size of Google, a few millions is pocket change (they make that in profit every hour (!)). I'm not surprised the founders (w

His graphs don't have the same Y-axis, and are over multiple years in 1 graph. This seems a better comparison: http://www.google.com/insights/search/#cat=31&q=json%2Cx... XML in decline, but still a lot bigger than JSON.

I love this quote, why he did this: "One of the things I learned was that bad things can only happen if good people do nothing. I consider myself to be a good person, so I had no choice but to act when I saw something like this happening."

AFAIK Ycombinator invests about 15K for 6%. That 6% would now be 12 million. That's a 800x ROI. Nice :)

Yes, but it's annoying you can't set the callback name to something static (for when the JSONP provider doesn't support variable callbacks). You can, but need a Jquery JSONP plugin for that.

Why is it good? I have played around with the tab, and while It wasn't bad, I expected it to be way cheaper. Since they are about the Same price, choosing an iPad would be a total no-brainer for me

I think it's actually quite cool that Microsoft invented a new UI, instead of copying iPhone/Android. I haven't played with it yet, so I haven't seen the result, but I like that they are trying to do something new, instead of copying others

I have used Mechanical Turk quite extensively the last few months. But I have always used it via Crowdflower. They offer a more sensible API and interface. And they keep scores on all workers, and calculate how well they perform. This influ

Looks nice, but way to small on the iPad. I would guess with a few small CSS changes (relative instead of absolute positions) it would work well on both devices.

Looks nice, and they open-sourced their reader. However I wonder if publishers are willing to distribute their content without any form of DRM.

I have read a long article on this (on paper, so no links). It explained that even people who are good at both chess, and boxing, often have issues combining them. The rush of adrenaline of the boxing interferes with the thinking needed for

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with flashblock. Even when I enable the flash, the javascript doesn't pick up on that and doesn't work. I guess it only checks on document load.

I really hope it will be a serious competitor. One is half the price of the other, and will be on sale on every other streetcorner. The other is twice as expensive, doesn't have Apple's sexiness (at least in mindshare), and will be on sale
