Nice idea (and having written an IMAP service, ugh, the spec is so bad...) But, remember: they have zero incentive for you to use a mail client. They WANT you use the web client, so they can sell you for advertising.

This. I still do not understand why the OSX terminal is so damned slow.

Sure, it does. But they're also overwhelmingly crappy for most "normal" folks: pixelated, blurry, poorly cropped.

But that's looking at the big picture... something that clearly, the powers that be at big companies no longer do.

Yes(!) Goddamn you kids and your Xcode. Now get off my damned lawn.

Exactly. It'd be one thing if instagram was a popular independent service. But they're not. Let's not forget who their big brother is, peering over their shoulder.

Oooh. That would be a good test. Similar to the above comment, our guy has a number of toys and can distinguish by name. Totally going to the pet store this weekend to see if we can try that out.

I was squatting in the office hermine and her crew were in while some of this was filming, and it was absolutely fascinating to peer over the shoulder of the director and P/A's, and see just how much of this was scripted and the various re-

Jesus. I hadn't realized it's $50 to sign up. May be awesome, but that's a high price to experiment with.

Hmm. Dunno if it was syncing, or what, but it just sat there consuming CPU (170% across both cores) for a while. Finally killed it.

These ones? No. These are ridiculous, (really) ugly, and pretty limited. But make no mistake, this is absolutely the future.

> better to solve that problem than piss around with a half built page in my experience. Seconded. This can cause far more bugs and timing problems than it's worth. Find out what's taking so long to fire, and fix (or defer) that.

Make kevin cringe less by calling him a "graphic designer". That extra "s" makes them die inside. :) Also, nice job, kevin.

Didn't the 300 from sprint come with a bunch of crap apps (i.e. NFL mobile or whatever) installed on it? I also had a Treo 300 (and a 180, a 600, and 750p)--so I maybe be confusing this with one of the later ones. The apps were easy enough

Youtube handles it via whack-a-mole. A friend of mine used to work in their community dept, and would tell horror stories about the things she'd see people put up.

Wow. This is pretty weak. Then again, they're the "most popular plugins of 1 month". Seems pretty faddish to me.

> The weather is pretty much the only reason I don't regret moving here You nailed it: we're paying for the weather. It's December 11th, and we're still able to be outside. Yesterday I did a 80k bike ride and it was perfect out. Even at

I'm glad I'm not the only skeptic. Something about this whole thing feels a little too contrived and over the top to me.

I love me some textmate, but the lack of split window editing makes me sad, every time I start really working in it.

The only hitch in that is caltrain stops running at midnight. Even if you're not out partying, but just having a later dinner, you always have to keep an eye on the time, and make sure you're in the cab (muni, etc) before 11:30 to get on th

Couldn't agree more, and mine was "Le Mans Sunset". How could people consistently miss a bright orange car in their mirrors?

Agreed. Just turn them off. Especially if you're also handling their email. That will get their attention far quicker, and more professionally.

I personally find this absolutely bewildering. I like cat pictures as much as the next guy... but $30 million? That makes them, what a $300 mil valuation? For funny pictures of cats? No, really, what bubble.

Nah. It's just a rails site. Some interesting stuff but most of it pretty straight forward.
