Christopher Tin is awesome. He did the music intro for Civ IV and did an AMA on reddit recently. I created his wikipedia article back in 2005 I think. :D

$100 million dollars? Really? How could that be cost effective?

The research on light and strong materials is key to one day developing space elevators. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevator#Cable I don't know what the strength of this material is or its breaking length (a breaking length of 5,0

These laws seems to curb an efficient market process, which I don't like if true. Also I think the government loses out on special taxes from Hotel business, but maybe those taxes could also be collected from these B&B type operations?

Super nice, but I worry about the slower webkit in webview. If it is much slower, you would get a better experience in the browser, despite the nice UI additions in this app.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get SLA's for APIs.

Is it really bad to gloat when right? When people are right, let them gloat. Why does that matter? As long as they aren't trying to make the people who were wrong feel bad about it.

Why are you using a wacom tablet to browse the web? Isn't that for drawing?

If the thing would ship. I ordered this thing weeks ago, and the Apple store ever since then has said "ships in 3-4 weeks." Every week I go to check on my order for the retina MBP and it says this. They either really dropped the ball on man

> "so I made this app instead" Is this really the work of a single individual? How long did it take you? It looks like something a team built. Edit: http://www.iorad.com/?a=site.about It was a team. I would have upvoted this in heartb

Title is misleading. It's a great story however.

Right, they could just make innovative products that users would add themselves instead of just adding them in by default.

Don't rush to judgement. I doubt this is about DRM, this is probably more about protecting players from hackers. Clients have to be analyzed for modification, it's the same as what any Punkbuster game goes through. Banning wine may just be

A more unified experience across the web is a good thing. It improves usability. Imagine if your Windows or Mac UI for applications were all designed differently. That's the web. So please, more people use Twitter Bootstrap.

That's cute, but the server is actually at getbridge.com, it's not IE6. A browser cannot serve requests. The IE6 client is communicating via getbridge.com, from where the actual connections are being served. There's just some centralized

When pg used a todo list as an example app to challenge email, this was to be expected. A million todo apps everywhere. People have so little imagination.

Tablets are expensive. I cannot afford to buy a tablet every year. So I want a tablet that is future proof. The 10 inch tablets that others will release this year will have an outdated operating system on them and will still cost many hundr

It ships with Jellybean... I've been waiting for the Samsung 10 inch tablet with the stylus, but it's already out of date and hasn't even shipped yet. I don't want a 7inch tablet and it is going to be years by the time a Jelly Bean 10 inch

Wow, the UI on that is gorgeous. I noticed a trend to add features and capability to GitHub which makes a lot of sense because it must have something like millions of users by now and it's something many of here personally use. I'm also wor

I was at this talk. It was the best meetup I've ever gone to. So many people and so much enthusiasm. I only hope it will translate into Go's success.
