This is a very nice app. It's worth downloading and trying just to see the job they've done with the interface. It has a super-polished, slick feel; the prompts and help messages are very casual and conversational; and it guides you throu

Annoyingly, Siri does not have maps support in Canada, so I can't test your example, but the answer in general is 'yes'. If you say, "Set a reminder", Siri will ask what you want it to be, and then will ask you what time it ought to be at.

This looks really, really nice. Support for Canada would be wonderful and pretty much essential for me to be able to use it. The other thing I'm wondering about is ACH payments - will Stripe handle those; if not, is it planned? Also, wou

The experimental renderer in MacVim creates a much more fluid editing experience than Vim, I find. Other than that, I think the only thing I use from time to time that is MacVim-specific is command-S, which aliases nicely to :w or to a fil

Looking at those screenshots, I see that you all tried: ${ However, I tried the literal '${' Which also breaks it. In fact, it looks like anything that has ${ in it will break it, anywhere at all in the search string. Also, if you close th
