I love the idea for the device itself. But I absolutely do not want this data to be social, or transmitted anywhere besides a secure, encrypted repository under my own control that I can optionally grant selective access to. Here's why. My

Totally chilling, both with respect to the Chinese policy and this response to it. Our values should be optimized for freedom, democracy and diversity.

I'm not sure why I'd pay for the gold plan when you can just click through to the site anyway. Ditto the Pro plan, actually. Perhaps you could give people more review credits the more they pay?

If it's a past startup, yeah. If you're saying "I'll still be working on my startup while I'm working for your company", that's not a great idea. Effectively you're saying "I'll leave as soon as I can".

MIT + HUGWARE = my new favorite license. Thanks for the clarification.

It's a lovely, incredibly refreshing idea. Don't confuse it for a legal license though, of course. For one thing, it leaves you open in the event someone modifies your code to do something terrible / broken. Maybe it could be something that

My first reaction to this was "we don't need another phone platform". But you know what? I think their corporate focus is really smart - particularly at a time when both RIM and Microsoft are leaving craters in that market. I really hope th

Every time I've had traditional media coverage of a project I've worked on, I've made this resolution. I'm not at all ungrateful for the coverage - each time, it made a difference, and it's lovely to be noticed - but even Wired, which shoul

One obvious, safe way: set up an API on their servers, abstracting away the need to send actual MySQL calls over the Internet.

In smaller companies you can sometimes rewrite the contract. I've done this, specifically to remove this clause.

I use NetBeans for development, and always feel like I'm slightly inferior for not relying on vim. There's certainly a lot to be said for it, but I really like (1) being able to zoom straight to the definition of one of my functions (can vi

Activity Streams + IFTTT for the desktop, yep. I've mooted it elsewhere before, but I think I'll write up the idea more fully.

Cool! Here's what I would really, really like to see as part of a file manager re-imagining: a unified, programmable activity stream for my actions across both my local machine and the Internet, stored locally but accessible via API. Imagin

This. This is the web I care about. The principles that keep me doing what I do for a living. I love this web, and how it works. But the thing is, I love the web we have now, too. I love the interconnectedness and the fact that you don't n

I'm with you, and I tend to agree with the Pando posts lately about "disruption" and the malformed philosophies that tend to go along with it. I didn't use it though, I promise!

I want to submit more reviews! Can I do that without having to submit another site?

Just requested and posted my first reviews. This is super-awesome, and I expect I'll be using it a lot. Thank you. Scrolling down, I did also forget to leave a star rating. Maybe that can be clearer?

Hey now. That's not very nice. Here's an edit just for you. Better? I read this the other day and completely fell in love. What a fantastic thing to be doing - but, as jaysonelliot says, from the perspective of the person running the unoffi
