I would like it if the comment rating was only available in an html data attribute (eg data-rating="10"). That way my old user script would still be able to sort and high light comments. You would have to go out of your way to see the score

While I'm glad to see RIM respond to Jamie's post, they didn't address the ridiculous cost of the developer program. It boils down to $20/app. I suspect the iPad will continue to dominate this year as more android developers gear up for hon

Anyone else notice the very "Apple" presentation style? No mention of price yet? I kind of take that as a bad sign. I'm very glad to see this space expand. I have a couple elderly relatives that I have considered buying a tablet/slate to re

I'm curious, what stuff are you talking about? Admittedly, ELB's cname restriction is a little of a downer but you could always spin up an instance to act as your own LB. Also, their 3rd point of needing to rebuild an ELB is a little of a d

You should be able to use Braintree or Authroize.net but you'll have to build you're own reoccurring billing system. They both offer a PCI compliant way to store the client's credit cards (Braintree's Vault or Authorize.net's CIM) from ther
