I've been wondering for a bit if there's enough potential profit to build an image upload processing service. Image uploading and manipulation is one of the very common pain points to Rails applications and I assume a lot of web application

Under video "<video> MP4 H.264 playback support, using hardware or software decoding. Support for WebM software is not included in this release." Does that mean that IE9 is planning to support WebM? All I can find is mentions that I

Currently the service is running entirely on Heroku. We plan to run the monitor itself in slave mode on completely separate virtual machines with a couple different hosts. Depending on the userbase. Once that system is finished if Heroku or

Ah I missed your post, very interesting. Honestly I don't think the space is crowded at all. When researching the space I found that the competition is entirely disappointing. There's a host of services that do a lot more and you pay for it

Just curious, how do you feel Firefox is more usable than Chrome? I've felt like Chrome is much more progressive than Firefox with a cleaner and simpler interface.

That's a really cool idea. I'm not sure how many people would be available to participate though. Rails Rumble works partly in that no one expects anything that great from a weekend and a lot more people can make a weekend worth of time. If

(I'm a Web Developer) The big issue I have with Flash Developers is that they use Flash for everything as it's what they know. Which I get, and sometimes that is the right route to take. Learning a new technology takes a long time and you o

It's a push for people to install the Mac version of Steam. Secondly I would think they've decided most people that are going to buy it, have already. So why not try to pick up more fans before the second one comes out this fall.

I can't find any official word that Firefox is supporting it. This article simply says it expects Firefox's will because of Firefox's reason for not supporting h.264 was that it wasn't open license.

The creepy thing about In-N-Out is that nearly every In-N-out store is exactly the same. Overall I've been in probably 20-30 that all use the same layout with very small differences (placement of the ketchup station, sometimes fake plants i

Google already maintains a large number of copies of YouTube videos, one for each quality level and now they've been adding h.264 and they may have some special ones for different devices I don't know about. Asking for one more in a codec t

As they are hosted on EC2 couldn't you use Amazon Cloudfront with them without too much trouble and with no latency issues? http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/ The main issue would be integrating Cloudfront with Rails not getting it to run

I'm really not sure what makes it unstable for me. I've had issues across browsers (Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and OSes (Windows and Mac OS X). Something the page just stops responding, or clicks result in it's error message showing. Or cl

The issue is that Flash seems to be getting worst. And we see a light at the end of the tunnel (new features being added to browsers to do what we use Flash for). So the building of frustration with Flash over time, a general dislike of clo

Well it's silly. You have to figure as mobile devices advance so will desktops. Sure being able to have a computer in your pocket on the go is nice. But no one is ever going to be going to work and working all day on their iPhone. You could

Well all of the laser tag systems I've seen you have to where a vest with sensors on it that detect the enemy lasers. Which really sucks when you shoot someone but miss the sensor or say you go for a head shot and nothing happens.
