I'm thinking of using parse for a project I'm releasing soon. If anyone reading this has used them I'd love to hear your review.

I agree with your sentiment and would like to take it a step further. As someone who lives in San Francisco and commutes using all three of bike, foot, and car (and back in college rode a skateboard around a large and busy campus) I don't t

I agree. The copy comes off as authentic and in a way is refreshing to see. It's just a dude who made an app and is having some fun with it. Good on him.

Sure, here are some references for you to dig through. First, by definition RSI is an inflammatory response. So, here's a good overview of what is meant by "inflammation" in the body: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/inflammation/ And here

I think he touches on a lot of good points, but has his priorities a bit wrong. In my opinion, the most important factors to consider are actually your diet and your lifestyle. RSI and similar types of issues can usually be traced to high l

The multiple "aha! I corrected the President's grammar. hahah" posts are sickening.

This is great. You should charge money. Regarding indentation: I think you made a reasonable choice in excluding it across the board. Definitely better than requiring it to be typed everywhere. That said, ideally you would require the user

I think you think its a lot farther than it actually is. My estimate would be about a mile.

To generalize: people who get Android smartphones don't use them as smartphones. iOS is where the money is, not to mention where the mindshare is.

Interesting that designing for iOS non-games is the opposite: design @2x and then scale down. The scaling down can be tricky though. I'd love to see a similar post to this: a pro's take on retina graphics.

I think this man's signal to noise ratio for playing high stakes poker could be a sizable advantage. It would be very interesting to see him play. Making good reads is mainly an input problem. There's so much to pay attention to that it int

Great. So now they'll just raise their data prices. Woohoo!

Perhaps by "molten ice" he means that the H20 is in its liquid state not because of the surrounding temperature but because of the pressure exerted upon it by the upper layers. Just a guess.

>10% per week, every week, starting from the first day that the invoice is overdue. I'm pretty sure that's much much more than the maximum rate permitted by law.

I disagree. The way I see it the 7" form factor is big enough to be a pain in the ass to carry yet small enough to be useless for most tablet stuff I'd actually want to do anyway. In my opinion, a mobile device should have a keyboard big en

Uh, no. "ipad" is an improperly formatted way of writing "iPad", a product by Apple. Tablet is a generic term.

Our patent system is insane, granted. But in this case, at least Apple, ya’ know, actually invented some of the stuff they are using against Android.

>The keyboard still isn't big enough to touch type on comfortably The iPad virtual keyboard is the same size as the keyboards on all MacBooks. Size is not why you're unable to type fast on the iPad.

Fine, let's all just agree to fault Android as a whole and move on.

We have sonic.net in San Francisco. Unfortunately the speeds in our neighborhood (Haight Ashbury) are dismal. 7.5 Mbits/s, for the premium service. $90 /month. I love the ethos of the company, but we're suffering here and will be switching

I've been curious about that myself. You say that Mike and Katy paid to be on 5by5. How do you know this? I would assume that the arrangement would simply to have shared a portion of the sponsorship money with 5by5.

Very nice start, I might start using this over my Streaks calendar app. One suggestion would be to add a passcode lock like Streaks has.
