The USPS by law has to be profitable. It is not funded by taxes. (Although when there is a budget shortfall the government helps pay its bills.)

I like the fine tuned controls you have available on Facebook for emails. I only get emails for things I'm interested in.

Steve's body position looked awkward too. He really had to get his legs crossed tightly and keep his leg near his body to prop that device up so it was facing him.

A terrifying fear of vim modes, maybe. I guess people stick with what they're used to. I don't know, I'm trying here, I really am.

Does Google even maintain non-anonymized logs of search suggestion lookups the way they maintain logs for regular search results?

I think a common practice should be to push your code to a staging server that uses production data once you think your code is ready for the wild. That way you can have QA make a final pass to make sure you don't make embarrassing mistakes

Pixelmator. It's amazing, it's like Photoshop only $600 cheaper and I think it even has a better user interface. Can't live without it.

Do you also plan to make an android app?

Having to support Firefox 2 is just as awful as having to support IE 6 (no inline-block). Just wanted to share that. Yes I have to support Firefox 2 where I work. Safari 3 is also a pain.

It's two hours of liberal opinion news during primetime. They are the flagship opinion shows on msnbc. But yea, they are just two people out of thousands that work at msnbc.

Am I the only one that found staring at orange hard on the eyes? I guess I should give the author credit for all the work that they put into this rant, seems like a blog post could have done just the same without all the fancy graphics and

Speed mostly, but also the camera, ability to customize, widgets, the screen and hardware, the android 2.1 operating system, the many Google apps such as Google Voice and Google Goggles. I mean there are clearly some UI advantages that the

Especially if you have ever visited the Nexus One landing page. Ever since, all I see are N1 ads.

I don't know about the sales, but I love my Nexus One. I never had an iphone 3Gs but the Nexus One blows away my old iPhone 3G.

This kind of a bind is available in dojo via dojo.hitch and in google closure via goog.bind (make sure to require goog.base) There's a $.hitch plugin in JQuery, it doesn't come with it by default.

I think there are far more unsolved problems than just this. As Feynman said, physics is like watching two grandmasters play a game of chess. A novice might learn the rules by watching but wont understand why masters chose a move or know al

I bought a Backflip yesterday and returned it today. I was so excited about getting an Android phone finally. What a disappointment when I realized I couldn't install apps from the web. I tried to install the Android Scripting environment t
