   Shizzle is quite heavily performance optimized. I'd be interested to see how the selector performance of both compare.

   Very clean interface, but so far I couldn't see any added value over the built-in sharing feature in Dropbox.

   Thank you, it's the third of your options. (;

   Github never ceases to amaze me. Despite all the features Github has, it still manages to maintain an incredibly light and intuitive UI. EDIT: s/seizes/ceases/

   Setting up a working file server with basic authentication is almost enough to confirm this. There might be valid reasons for all of the configuration options, but the avarage user will never need more than 10% of them.

   It's cool to see Linus being pragmatic here.

   I couldn't find any PPAs or packages for Ubuntu, yet. Did anyone else?

   Why does Techcrunch never provide any deeplinks? It's annoying as hell.

   I meant to write GIL, obviously. Errors like this happen, when you type "git" about 200 times a day.

    As web applications usually don't do much number crunching, the GIT is even more meaningless in that decision. Threading to avoid IO-blocking doesn't trigger the GIL at all and that is what you have to deal with in web apps.

    The update requires direct user action (including a reboot) anyways, so I'd rather encourage them to upgrade to FF 4, Chrome or Opera.

    Rapportive is doing a great job for me. Whenever I get an email from an unknown person, it's great to have some context. For example, I got a couple of bug reports via mail last month regarding a piece of software I wrote. By having the twi

    I like the new logo, but I didn't expect to see a logo change of the official Chrome that early. There are still a lot of advertisements showing the old logo around in my city.

    It works perfectly fine in Chrome, but runs very sluggish compared to FF4. Does anyone know which particular part is so much faster in Firefox?

    I love Dropbox for not using this horrible term.

    I love interactive tutorials! I wish there would be one for python I could pass around (is there?). The timeouts on this particular page could use some tweaking, though.

    I heard about this for the first time on J. J. Abram's Alias and researched it. I was quite surprised to see that it's real.

    I'm really glad I could convince a good part of my family to contact me via email. I'd rather ditch the telephone in favor of email than the other way around.

    Amazing! Rian Hunter from Dropbox mentioned his vision about apps in this style in his talk at PyCon, that is very interesting in general: http://pycon.blip.tv/file/4878722/

    The nuclear power plants in Germany are a mess. Negative findings of investigations magically disappear, threats like earth quakes are simply ignored. The pre-defined runtimes are exceeded and still most of them are running. Turning these o

    They are not permanently shut down. This is most likely a move because of the impending elections, as nuclear energy is quite controversial here in Germany.

    This is the same impression I got from what I read so far. Unfortunately, it's pretty much impossible to get reliable information on that. An announcement in Germany regarding the safety of our nuclear power plants stated that ours are supp

    Has there been an announcement regarding ATA TRIM support? It's about time.

    I might be wrong, but those scrollbars in the screenshot look a lot like Ubuntu's.

    The point is that people listening to microsoft's PR will think that IE 9 is as modern as the next browser and that is clearly not true. As a web developer I want to use the new technologies and as long as there is a major share of IE users

    The search feature you note is by far my favorite part. Finding good resources on very specific topics can be really hard using google, but delicious has always been an incredibly accurate source for those.
