Really excellent work, both the library itself and the simple ability for anyone to make an example timeline.

I've never bought into this "nice guy" image Craig Newmark seems to have cultivated for himself. Between numerous interviews where he gives flippant, condescending answers to reasonable questions and the overly litigious acti

as much as they're apparently hated, they do tend to work Working at a marketing agency, I have plenty of data that shows that, no, they do not.

if Apple makes apps available for the Apple TV and can nail the user experience, they might really have something Completely agree, but the Apple TV interface as it stands is atrocious. To be fair, this is a problem with any remote-to-T

I setup a recurring monthly event with each team member where we both jump on Skype or Google Hangout to chat about three things: what's one thing I can do better to help him with his job, what's one thing he can do better to imp

At the company I work for now, they found a site for a British company (we are in the US) that didn't steal the look of the site or the copy of the site -- they stole the names, headshots and bios of the executives and used them on t

Seriously, coding skills matter less in the real world than you think, those will get better with time anyway. I wish I could upvote this a hundred times. The thing to remember is that most people don't know the first thing about how

Look, I get it, you need to clone Vine to stay competitive, but it's not new or a re-imagining of the video paradigm. Why does it have to be? And besides, by adding video, Instagram just put its boot on the throat of Vine. I already

I actually downgraded back to v5 because of the terrible changes they made to Web Inspector in v6, so I'm pretty annoyed that they didn't even mention it when introducing the new version -- at a developers' conference, no l

Completely OT, but I accidentally downvoted you due to an errant attempt to click on your link -- sorry about that.

I don't get why Amazon would want to do this -- it's always been my impression that grocery stores' margins are razor-thin. Am I wrong about this?

I would add River Raid to that short list -- it's one of the few pre-NES games that still holds up.

Very nice work. Any plans of adding the ability to automatically go fullscreen on focus?

The phrase "request an invitation" seems self-aggrandizing and conceited To me, it's a classic example of using social proof to create the idea that this event is sought after and valuable. See "if the line is busy, call again later" inst

Forgive me if this comes across as snarky, but when "beautiful" is the very first word used to sell me a piece of software, it would help if it were actually beautiful to look at. I'm sure it's well-built, but Geary looks like every run-of-

Fair enough, but the first FAQ is "What is Remark?" and the answer is "Right now, Remark is a work-in-progress." I admit that I stopped reading after that. Think about it -- why would I keep reading? If the service doesn't answer such a sim

I have no idea what Remark actually does. What does an efficient inbox mean? What will clicking "Test your inbox" do?

This is very true. Despite iOS coming with a pretty decent weather app, I've purchased three other weather apps looking for something even better. (FWIW, I'm happy with Check the Weather -- http://checktheweather.co/ )

It came across as a "beat the journalist up" because they posted a bad review. Reminds me of the sort of thing you see bad restaurant owners do when they respond to diner's complaints. I disagree completely -- a better analogy would be th

Completely agree, because it's totally meaningless. I would much rather see LinkedIn focus more on Recommendations, which are the real prize.

I won't get into the usefulness of or need for the product. That's a different debate. But this product does raise a couple of questions for me: 1) Why was the Basecamp brand attached to this product? 2) If Sortfolio was deemed expendable,

After two bankruptcies and a major strike, perhaps pulling the plug was the only solution. Side note: this is a terrible submission title. For one, that's not the headline of the linked article, and two, these brands aren't "history" -- th

My perspective on online security is the same as real-life security -- if someone who really knows what they're doing wants to get to you, they'll get to you.

The Surface is "Bad" because you're comparing it with the iPad 4, the Kindle Fire HD, the Asus Transformer (3rd or 4th gen), etc. Well, those are its competitors.
