   They've been acquired by RIM so who knows if the service will stay alive or not...

   Oh my bad. I thought he wanted an ARM box because they're usually much cheaper.

   You might want to look into getting an AppleTV 1. It can run OSX and most likely Ubuntu. They should be quite cheap now.

   Hosting companies often pay over $100 per referrals so it's pretty obvious that the value of a single customer is very high. A few fake reviews here and there will likely net them thousands.

   Thanks! I'll give that a try.

   Semi-related question for you experts out there: how do these frameworks fit into a multi-page web app (ie: a typical Rails app)? They all seem to target the single-app market and the examples are always so simple that I have yet to figure

   I agree with taligent. Stay away from EC2. Here are some benchmarks I ran to give you an idea why: http://blog.carlmercier.com/2012/01/05/ec2-is-basically-one-...

    I'm also having problems shaking. It works 1 time out of 5 it seems. How about showing the window if I don't move the mouse for 2 seconds instead? That'd be easier and a better UX IMO since it would mimic spring loading.

    I've bought some amazing brand name suits at Burlington Coat Factory for very cheap. You should definitely look there if there's one near you.

    Anybody knows if there's a jquery plugin or similar that implements the concepts from this article? I'm in the same situation and would rather not reimplement the wheel.

    Very aggressive pricing! Dropbox is 4 times more expensive for 100 GB. $5/mo vs $20. Will be interesting to see how Dropbox reacts to that.

    It would be very interesting if you could write a blog post and an example project illustrating how to do this. I think many could benefit from this knowledge.

    I'd love to be able to have a web view for the "content" of my app, but native navigation at the top, and native everything else basically.

    I just learned about NativeControls today. From what I saw, it only provides Toolbar and TabBar but doesn't do Navigation, for example, am I right?

    There was a story about iOS local storage being broken in iOS 5.1 yesterday. PhoneGap 1.6 seems to fix this! "The PhoneGap/Apache Cordova Community has worked hard to fix many bugs (including the nasty local storage bug caused by the iOS 5.

    I'm really hoping for a major price drop in SSD. I went SSD a couple of years ago and regular hard drives feel so sluggish in comparison. Putting an SSD in my iMac and Macbook was by far the best thing I could have done performance-wise.

    No but why raise so much money at such a lousy valuation if you're 30 days away from a billion dollar exit?

    by cmer 15y ago

    According to Crunchbase and Techcrunch, they raised $40M just a month ago at a $500M valuation. Something doesn't add up here. A billion dollar deal like this had to take more than a couple of weeks to close... http://techcrunch.com/2012/0

    Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think Pry can do "step" and such? I've been using Pry as well but I'm still very happy to see familiar ruby-debug back!

    I'm somewhere near 7. I find Stack Overflow extremely frustrating to use since I never seem to have enough reputation to do anything. If I remember correctly I can't even comment I gave up trying to contribute and I now only leech. I wish t

    My generation (~30-35 yo) learned it in elementary school and I remember it being quite awesome at the time. My gut feeling is that we're not starting to have kids and we want to show them how to "program" a computer with tools that stuck u

    It might be a non-issue, but I am concerned about the performance of Bootstrap on older/slower computers as well as mobile devices. The stylesheet is so huge, I assume there has to be some kind of performance penalty somewhere? Or maybe I'm
