I'm proud of them, but the Internet is international - without broad acceptance, we run the risk of effectively having distinct National Internets with different rules and regulations. That scares me a bit, because the potential is still to

Kudos to Dropbox, although I wonder how this sits with the Android / Google Drive integration I assume is around the corner?

A good design on a bad product or business probably won't help in the long run. Conversely, a bad design on a good product can hinder a project in the long run. Designers are an important part of the mix, but you'd be a fool to concentrate

Surely this depends on the browser, rather than the mechanism in HTML itself?

Forget the money and the commitment. Is it something that you'll be eager to wake up and do for the next four years running, come hell or high water? If not, leave it on the table. On the other hand, if you're feeling so-so because your co-

I can't get my hands on this soon enough. It makes so much sense: we're moving away from the files and folders metaphor everywhere, so why not in the IDE too?

I'm pretty psyched about the 1080p video. We just released our iPad app, which compresses video and shares it with people / teams, and my hope is that this will drive further adoption. Also, I want one, and I want to be able to share the vi
