interesting idea but this map needs work: you really have to zoom in to see what's really happening. when zoomed out it looks like practically the entire USofA is full of hate.

I don't think this is on point. Get busy livin or get busy dyin. THAT, is a powerful message from the movie and is highly relevant. we must not fear failure. Get moving because you won't reach your goals just waiting around

I hope Verizon promoted this guy to dev lead/manager. He showed that he could get the highest quality (at least by VZ's standards) work done for a fraction of the cost. I'd promote the guy and give him & his team (internal and/or outs

So does the fact that "Rails is Omakase" ( http://david.heinemeierhansson.com/2012/rails-is-omakase.htm... ) mean that the chef tried to serve Fugu ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugu ) but cut it wrong?

Wait. Lot's of people were telling me that lack of Instagram app prevented them from switching to Windows Phone. Turns out lack of that app was just trend setting? :-)

sounds pretty cool to have a real-time avatar. your description of the smart-phone strapped to her head reminded me of this classic hands-free device: http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=I.4694782262707040&pid=1.7

Thanks :-) Developer & customer feedback is a big deal for us and we've been working to add new capabilities that people want. Anything else you can think of that you'd like to see us do or enable in the SDK?
