   I'm tempted to show this to my mom, but what happens if they go out of business? You've basically sold hundreds of dollars worth of clothes in exchange for Monopoly money.

   Didn't H.264 become free forever on the Web due to fear of competition from WebM? Doesn't sound like a total loss.

   I'd be surprised if they just opened the floodgates without warning, though the article does seem to imply that.

   Historically, they've always made a big deal about repeat attendees (better seating, better shirts, etc.) to encourage people to return habitually. It's going to be hard to be a repeat attendee if you have to fight for tickets in the middle

   Five years ago, this was definitely true; however, I've had pretty good luck lately writing code in Chrome that works equally well in Firefox or IE9 without any additional effort on my part. I'm a pure JS guy. I used to do a lot of work in

   The whole point of the PD article was that you trust developers to not do these things because market forces keep them in check. If an app was abusing your privacy, it would be revoked by the marketplace (Apple, Google, BN, or Amazon) and

    Here's the mirror way of doing it: http://www.360video.com There's a link on the home page showing what the uncorrected video looks like (it's a giant video donut). You get better image quality (e.g. no stitching errors), but lower resolu

    It's a market share issue. How many people do you know who use a mobile Internet device that doesn't run iOS or Android? Exactly. If open webOS gets its shit together, maybe we'll have three mobile platforms instead of two. The point is,

    I don't get it. The whole point of having an ad server is to make sure the right ad is served to the right person. You can serve desktop ads to desktop browsers and mobile ads to mobile in DFP. Or, you can book a mobile version into a mob

    I tried to make my game 10¢ during 10¢ week, but only the apps Google chose were allowed to price that low. =\

    There's nothing stopping you from buying the apps on the Market, and using the Humble Indie Bundle website solely to donate to the charities. Beauty of a pay-what-you-can model.

    Casting with Number is also acceptable. I don't understand why he would recommend unary as a replacement for casting. It obfuscates the intent of your code, which is especially concerning since this reads like a guide for beginners.

    Unless you're using <script> as a ghetto <template> node (e.g. handlebars) or for WebGL. But yeah, nobody cares if you write JS without @type.

    The problem with extension development is that each browser does it differently. If you abstract away the browser-specific API, it's not too hard to write a cross-browser extension. Here's one that runs on both Chrome and Safari: http://c

    Really? Go is on there, but ActionScript is not? I realize that the future of the Flash Platform is in doubt, but Flash is still a great choice for a lot of things, like: - This language is good for beginners. - This language is well docum

    Admittedly, I'm no expert on electric cars, but they always make me feel like the emperor isn't wearing any clothes. Electricity is frequently generated by fossil fuels like coal. Electric cars don't reduce pollution, they just move it to
