tl;dr but, yea, I agree about keyboards. I went to a decent amount of lan parties in high school and was always baffled by how many kids prefer the tricked out keyboards/mice. I keep an old Microsoft natural keyboard around, but nothing I'v

I think you may be old and grumpy. No one under 30 uses email? Where are you getting your stats from? I think you have valid points about how useful social networking features would be; although I think it's moreso about reaching your conta

Cool and all, but.. revolutionary?

I was never a fan of using webmail full time, GMail included. IMAP is as 'cloud' as I'll ever need for email.

Been using it for a couple months. Love it. I was using Postbox before, which was really nice but a little slow on my laptop. I did switch back to Postbox after my first try with Sparrow, but I was sold when they added command-enter to send

There is a 'Priority' label in the labels tab. I haven't personally used it so I can't confirm that it works as expected (my new email count is at 0), but it's there. EDIT: Got a priority email after posting this. It didn't appear in the 'P

Same. No particular need for an IDE personally, but I'm glad Appcelerator is doing well.

I wrote something similar for an app that used Titanium. All javascript, of course, with select-state images and a 1x42 pixel background. I'll see if the company I wrote it for will let me release it as a snippet.

This won't be the popular answer, but Wordpress is actually pretty good for prototyping things like this. The plugin hooks system makes it easy to try things out quickly. There is already a plugin for just about everything, so adding Facebo

I've only given one talk but it was similar to this for me, although with a much smaller audience. I had a 30 minute slot and breezed through my slides in maybe 5 minutes with a lot of "um" and fidgeting. In my nervousness, I said the phras

u mad. Images need to be uploaded. My iPhone uses T-Mobile with Edge. I do not want to wait for a 12MP photo to be transferred, ever. That is a prohibitive user barrier. Besides that, in the future they will be able to just say "ENHANCE" li

For security reasons? I feel like that too obvious an answer. Maybe I'm missing something. Javascript can be potentially harmful because it's code running on your system, albeit sandboxed to some degree. You can also embed code in images, b

Definitely overestimate and quote for worst case scenarios. This type of work isn't fun when you know you're going to get stuck doing a lot of extra work for the minimum amount of compensation. And like michaelhart said, sending an invoice

I use hamachi for going between work/home machines. Super easy. I'm only on mac/linux machines, though. I haven't used it on Windows for quite a while.

Most of my clients "need" a hosted solution and magento is good but usually overkill. I'm developing a simple framework to make turning out custom carts easier. So I Jess my favorite option falls under "build from scratch."

I'm in a similar situation where I'm about to start a job that has a broad noncompete. Broad to the point that they even own work I do in my spare time. I don't need the work that bad (I'm currently freelance) so I'm requesting they reword

This. I've setup several client servers on slicehost in the past 6 months and they have been solid. More recently, I've put a couple clients on rackspace cloud because the SLA will make the client feel more comfortable. It's been equally so

You could get a Basecamp account and manage your milestones that way. I made an app that let's me post private status updates while I'm working. It's like having an imaginary project manager to keep me motivated. It also makes it a little e
