As is often the case, Google has to find a line that allows legitimate brands to do their thing, but also make sure that smaller/less legitimate sites not exploit their systems. Google won't tell Amazon/Target/Walmart, to stop selling a pro

Are you telling me that enterprise grade version control, powered by machine learning about my organization's workflow is out of scope for a small, simple, free service? ;-) You're absolutely correct though - yes - this quickly becomes a wa

I'm playing with this now, and it's enough to make me want an iPad/iPad mini. However: it seems that when you're offline (eg: away from wifi / on a plane, etc) the app becomes Read Only. This means no adding to cards, creating new cards, et

Here in Seattle, the pedestrian signals are serious business. A colleagues dad was given a $70 ticket for crossing on Stop. Going back to London / NYC, I always forget to just do it and walk across whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Dan, I was looking into anonymous sending options recently. Two quick questions: - "don't mind having to pay"; what might you be willing to spend? $5/month? $50? 2c per email? - "they have to work very hard to get my real identity"; get-a-c

Robots.txt is only an indication of which pages should/shouldn't be visited. Instructions about which pages can be included in a search engine's index (and hence linked to from results pages) would go in a meta tag on the relevant page. Ver

A friend from Texas discovered this whilst on a road trip, when he arrived at the Canadian border. He had to turn around and drive home, because of an bounced cheque from ~a year beforehand - that he'd never heard anything about since payin

I wasn't involved with this, but wanted to share. Alongside the new Microsoft.com, it's great to have another big name site that's built on responsive design principles, for when people ask if anyone is actually using it.

I've been looking into this. Just as a rough idea: what monthly price would you find bearable?

Fixed; thanks. PS: you wanna be my CTO? I think this things going to blow up. Obviously you'll have to work from my garage with no pay for a few years, but you'll get a huge payout when we exit.

Interesting, thanks. Seems like I need a much wider image for the BG on mobile devices; I guess this is down to the very high resolution of iPhone screens? Also, looks like the webfont character in the H! didn't work either.

It 'only' costs four cents per use, thanks to Twilio. (1c per inbound/outbound text message and 2c for the call.) I'm fortunate to be able to put a bit of cash into a slush fund for giving away things like this for free. (I have other free
