This is why I unmapped Backspace -> Back in Firefox. It's just a source of heartache. Typical example is trying to backspace in a textarea -- whoops -- textarea didn't have focus. Your progress was probably lost because most textareas t

The echo chamber chicken littling of drama is more insufferable than any drama I've come across. In fact, I've got to wonder if drama even exists until someone swoops in to name it so. That must be the transition point where it goes from "o

Lots of wisdom here, people. Did your app fail in the market? It's your CSS framework. Write your CSS by hand and win over the hearts and respect of your users. Reminds me of that time my app failed on the market because I left `// Generate
