The designers I've worked with on web applications are often the biggest advocates of a good UX. I have no insight into Google's process, but I'm curious if others run into cases where designers have limited sensitivity to UX (and ignore fe

Agreed. I'm all for raising awareness, but many of the articles surfacing here over the past few weeks have been SOPA related and taking down the whole site to put up one message may actually reduce the amount of SOPA/PIPA-related informat

It's "released" but it doesn't have a license file yet. In reply to this issue on their github repo, they state it will use the MIT license, but I don't feel comfortable using a library until I know what the terms are.

Check your facts. The standards body for JavaScript is Ecma International -- hence JavaScript being officially known and standardized as "ECMAScript". Additionally, JavaScript began at Netscape in 1995 two years before it was a published st

FWIW, Mark Jaquith is a lead developer for WordPress. I hope this is an indication they're considering a switch to Git for the future. It makes a lot of sense to me consider the distributed nature of Automattic's workforce and the large nu

The fact that it's anything like ActiveX is what scares me. I'm not looking forward to further fragmentation of web browser capabilities.

People get scammed all the time; this is newsworthy here only because it indirectly involves a Y Combinator startup. I doubt you'd find another journalist interested in the story. I feel for the people in the situation, but you have to use

Dreamhost and other providers DO have simple installers for things like WordPress. Most good providers do. If people are using these hosts, they won't need your tool. Honestly I'd be worried if I saw somebody using a tool like this to i

It's because this means all the PC users who stay on Windows XP will be perpetually using IE6/7/8. IE9 usage will only grow as adoption of Vista/7 picks up. In essence, IE9 will have slower marketshare growth and web developers will be fo
