   Maybe you should speak to the differences you guys are having. Are you both coding? Are the style differences in how you are building the app hurting you? Do you guys openly talk about the differences you are having and how to resolve them,

   Here's the easter egg. What word does it rhyme with? ["ale", "braille", "dale", "frail", "gail", "gale", "hail", "jail", "mail", "male", "nail", "pail", "pale", "rail", "sail", "sale", "scale", "snail", "stale", "tail", "tale", "trail", "va

   I had never seen a callback used in REST calls. If you want to know more, make sure you click on the JSONP link on the page for additional info. Simple but snazzy!

   “People think hacker means a criminal,” said Devon Jones, a 33-year-old member of the collective who was slumped on a ratty couch drinking a beer. “Well, we want our word back.” Me too!

   Ring-a-ding-ding. Totally agree. For those of us that would hack paid or not, I'm thrilled to see someone like this considering getting out of the industry. It opens up a seat for someone that loves programming to take their job.

   When I was 5, my dad bought a TRS-80 Model III. He bought several programming books and I'd pick out a program and he'd type it in for me. I made the connection that typing in programs equaled fun. Eventually, he found a book for me that ha

    I don't think beating Google is all about "server hardware efficiency". I'm not sure how they sold VCs on this concept. It is about creating result sets so amazing that you pick up your phone and tell your friends and family about it.

    Eventually, computers will be able to do the job of the human, and 4 million cameras won't be a problem to watch.

    If you live in a state where medical marijuana is legal, you might talk to a doctor about seeing if this can help you. I've had a friend with a similar problem with anxiety and panic problems, and this really seems to help her. (She tends t

    3 sample data points and you want a realistic review? Really, seriously? This could have been hacked together in an hour. Should we all ask YC to check out our weekend hack sessions? Is it a real business model? What is it? Give us some det

    If you want to get serious fast, go to tech-related conferences. Take a stack of business cards. Shake hands. Constantly. Arrive early, don't eat lunch, stay late. Be focused on how you can help people's business, even if you can't help the

    Mmm.. jQuery makes me giddy. This week, I wondered if something akin to jQuery but running server-side would be useful. (Modifying the DOM before it hits the client.)

    Yep, high affiliate payout is smart. Some affiliate marketers are really cheap. Who wants to push a $20 product for a 10% commission? Not me, but kick it up to 50% and now we can have a conversation.

    Not sure I get it. 2,000 units at $50k doesn't seem like a model "for the masses". This model should start by building a car like the cheap Tata Nano car.

    Yep, I think that you guys may have just created a great hackable device when you thought all you had was a digital picture frame. Let hacker's thrive. Give them a great, juicy section of your website. If nothing else, put up a wiki stat, s

    One of the big advantages of a library like jQuery is that it abstracts away browser incompatibilities. Stuff "just works" in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    I think everyone has to go through that cycle at least once. At one point, I had 12 servers in our study. Eventually the wife decided that the ungodly humming and tangle of wires had to go. Haven't hosted "in-house" since.

    I think personalization is the key, too. Why are we teaching programming with a human? At what point are we finally going to have machines that can work 1-on-1 with humans, at their pace, until they grok concepts. Some people learn more qui
