I know it has issues, but for me Gmail is fine. The version before the one I was using displays the profiles fine. So who knows.

Quite true, but sad that a company like Apple would even entertain this path considering their roots and seemingly pure beginnings. A business is a business, but sometimes it behoves one to be better than the rest and not just financially (

Of course they have, but my point is that the situations are dissimilar. In the case of Microsoft, they are crippling their own software at the behest of another internal project, where as Apple is effectively crippling 3rd party software a

For some reason the new profiles don't render correctly in Chrome. It just shows a white page with nothing on it that is much longer than the actual profile page is. Not only that if you view source, it is all there. I am running Chrome 11.

It really felt like a forced analogy because the two situations are much different in practice. To have them be the same, Apple would have to be crippling their internal applications and services at the benefit of the external ones.

The way the OP is presented is a little confusing, comparing Microsoft and it's internal applications having a 'strategy tax' versus Apple and their internal and 3rd party applications. I do agree with the closing argument, it definitely co

The problem with other even-driven frameworks out there is that they have too much existing codebase that is blocking, which is why Ryan Dahl went with javascript. It had no preconceptions how to do things, and didn't have a large library o

Although the ideas and technology behind node.js aren't entirely new, the fusion of a well known client side language like Javascript and a robust server-side event based architecture really makes node.js great. I really enjoyed the article

NPM >0.3.0 changed to requiring sudo while installing. The reason being that it simplifies things logistically as well it allows NPM to install modules as nobody, since you have to be sudo to do that.

Are there any node.js based remote jobs?

I am all for consumer choice, but if Apple complied with the rule, that would only give consumers more choice when it comes to applications on the iPhone. Imagine people being able to install applications without Apple approving them. Yeah

All they would have to do to comply with this rule is to allow people to install apps not served from the App Store, much like Android already does. Seems like a simple enough request, and would only benefit users.

Granted it was a bit dismissive, but it is a common issue of people coming into the node.js community and saying it needs this or that. One main thing being that you shouldn't have to deal with callbacks/events. Now I think everyone is enti

I posted this as a comment on the blog post, though I would share it here. This is awesome that you wrote a post on this, it is an important building block to proper node.js coding. I know I had trouble with it. There is another way to hand

Seems like a pretty generic name to try and trademark, considering how long Google has been using the name Places could Apple even trademark it? http://www.google.com/places/

There hasn't been any confirmation from Apple regarding SaaS and similar though has there? Do you see Netflix/Hulu/Pandora and others sticking around? I really don't. If their cut is effectively nil, they end up spending money to have users

Linkinus for OS X. It is great, fast, clean, looks beautiful. Soon should have node.js scripting support as well. http://www.linkinus.com

I am not so sure they would announce a new one. They are in a great position right now; Kinect is selling like gangbusters and they are topping the charts on console hardware sales. Their first party and third party games usually are above

For anyone that wants to see a detailed changelog: https://gist.github.com/833296 I really like the addition of .env because it simplifies the code required to do what most people use jsdom for. The speed improvements are welcome.

When I got into smart phones I didn't care as much about what chip powered my phone, I only looked at the raw numbers. It seems that in this race though, raw numbers aren't as important as they are in desktop cpus. I own a Nexus One and abs

While I agree that the apps market is a huge new thing, I really don't think it is going to continue to take off with no end in sight. We are in unprecedented times, and I think looking at any prior history really doesn't do it justice. But

This should make it easier for releasing my code and testing. Though I realized that someone should make a growl plugin for node.

Apple is notorious for ripping businesses built on their platforms out from under the people that created them. It has happened with OS X by them taking a popular 3rd party utility/app and integrating the idea/look/feel directly with no att

Same here. I know with vim you can have jslint run every time you make a change, so I wonder if that would work with the CS compiler, maybe even show an output pane. Though I don't use vim much, and spend more time in Textmate. Textmate doe

I really enjoy CoffeeScript now. It is what I use for browser and node.js development. Before I tried it, I was somewhat skeptical of using it because I felt my javascript knowledge would fade or I might get confused about things, but I thi

I think the trend is shifting at least when it comes to projects hosted on Github. Forking there is less of a divergent path, but more of a way to tinker and make changes and push them back to the main code source. At least that is what mos
