This is surprisingly addictive and the music actually sounds cool too. It would be nice to hit notes without sliding though.

I like Gitolite, it has more fine grained permission control and is pretty simple to get up and running.

Windows is a "maybe" platform? cmon... One of the most attractive aspects of this to me is that I would not be developing just for a single device tablet OS. The applications will run across both tablets and desktops, and even a Microsoft "

Its a gorgeous app and works well. The touch events feel a little laggy though (samsung galaxy s, android 2.3.4 / dolphin hd). Also I would love to try it on the desktop, this would make a great widget. Any reason not to allow it to run on

I love the idea, but I would prefer to see the infrequent tweets at the top of the page above the frequent ones instead of the frequent ones being so tiny I can't read them even if I want to.

To back you up, I never read game reviews and am not a serious gamer, but I had read the ars duke review.

It doesn't compete at all with the iOS app store, they are only selling OSX desktop applications, not mobile iOS ones.

I'm glad they are deviating from core GNOME as they seem to have more focused art direction and better usability in general, for me Ubuntu is a much smoother and more pleasant Linux experience than any other distro for this reason.

Go for it, you just need a bit of patience in the beginning, but if you comminicate well in your proposal (provide some rough ideas about possible implementations, related experience, etc.) you stand a good chance of getting work. Once you

Skype has always had a pretty bleak future on Linux, updates are sometimes years apart, but at least the application keeps on working. Skype is a multi platform product, Microsoft obviously knows this and although Linux will never be a firs

I'd be interested to see what this would actually be able to make it from alpha to reality. I get the feeling that the dev team want to build some real use statistics and get as much feedback as possible in order to pressure their higher up

It has to also depend on the category you are in. A lot more people will be interested in a easy to use photo editor over some iOS beta delivery software.

The same can be said for credit card information, thats why autocomplete="off" exists.

That's a valid point, last time I used the free account this restriction was not there. This kind of limit makes the free account feel more like a trial account, maybe they won't lose my money after all...

What's interesting is that now the mobile apps are available for free users, I'm sorry to say that they are going to lose I little of my money as this was my primary reason for paying for spotify.

Obfuscating spam links. It is much harder to tell a fake/crappy url when it is hidden through a shortening service.

The killer combination for me is branching + distributed. Your branches don't have to be mirrored on a remote server for all to see. Branching & merging are also insanely easy to do, so I find that I develop almost all new features in t
