I actually think Apple got the maximize button right (at least from the perspective of higher resolution displays). The maximize button for browsers on Mac's maximizes the browser window to fit the content within the page. That is exactly h

If we all would've bought Apple stock instead of their products the stock would've gone nowhere!

I agree with you as well, but I don't see why my point doesn't stand. I'm not saying I agree with one side or the other just that everyone has a stake in this game.

Of course Microsoft and Apple support H.264. They both stand to benefit: http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Licensors.aspx

"We are now requiring that if an app offers customers the ability to purchase books outside of the app, that the same option is also available to customers from within the app with in-app purchase." That is exactly the way the Kindle app on

Only if you're an established company or have wealthy founders that can personally guarantee the account. That is the good (and maybe bad) thing about paypal...pretty much anyone, with a decent credit score, can open a merchant account.

That's why, in theory, I like OpenID. It's decentralized, anyone can be a provider, and I still choose when logging into your site which provider you should use to validate my credentials.

What the hell is a social security card if not a national ID card. Unique number assigned to each american citizen and you are forced to have it.

I've thought a lot about dropping my cable but the one thing that has prevented me from doing so is sports. How do those of you that enjoy sports and have dropped cable handle that? I need to be able to see my local teams and watch many oth

I stated this in another thread, but I will restate here because it seems appropriate. The App Store will most definitely become the most popular way to find and install applications. Therefore if your app is not in the app store it may as

It will become the de facto way people look for applications and if yours isn't there, then it may as well not exist.

I think this is awesome. If you could allow me to zoom in and out via the scroll-wheel on the mouse (or maybe double-clicking in an area) that would be really great! I will definitely be using this for all my future ticket needs!

What, you don't thing that a State (especially California, the startup capital of the world) in a serious budget crisis has anything to do with entrepreneurs that may be attempting to start their own businesses in such a climate?

I disagree...the government will very much want this as I don't have a standard phone anymore because of cell phones. Many people are getting rid of their land-lines in favor of one phone. Not to mention that tapping my phone would likely r

When I was a young high school kid, interested in AI, I emailed Marvin Minsky at MIT and he responded. I was very impressed that I got a response but unfortunately young enough not to save the email. I really wish I still had that!

I'd be fine with this as long as it is an optional install. If the software is forced on you is where it becomes a problem. Apple could have the best intentions ever, but as mentioned in the article, if they have this capability the governm

We used this method in high school (called it burnout then) and it never ceased to fail that a pretty girl would walk in when you got down to the bar and could barely lift it!

Very nice! I like the simplicity of it as I've used other services as well like Global Net Watch. A big deal for us would be having some Asia Pacific locations as that is typically the area with the worst performance for our site and the on

Do you remember how long it took before you started seeing the links with the new domain appear in Google?

by akmiller 16y ago
Our business deals with content that is regional so each domain deals with data that is available only in that region. Therefore we have no duplicate data amongst the different domains. We've tried very hard to always walk a straight line r

The servers are the same with the same IP's. We had back-links and they are slowly migrating to our new domain. The 301's are working correctly as we've checked with a few different tools to verify. We can click on our old links in google a

I will look into adding export to GPX. As a simple tool for routing I definitely want you to be able to get your data out of it for use with other tools so this will be high on my list of things to do.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I added the ability to switch to Kilometers as many have suggested as well as a some getting started text. I will be improving this over the next several weeks I hope you all will continue to check it out.

Yes, just go to your location and start clicking. I will add some 'Getting Started' text within the next couple of hours. Thanks for the feedback!

I love that idea and it would be very useful for me as well so I'll do some digging and find out!

Gmap-pedometer was definitely one of the better tools I had used before I started building this one and I like their simplicity as well. I have a slightly different vision of where I'd like to take it and that's kind of why I built my own.
