This chart doesn't show the 5 year sabbatical that Microsoft decided to take between August 2001 and October 2006 (The amount of time between releases of IE6 and IE7). I reckon they shipped IE7 at exactly the most damaging time for the web

Couldn't I just run the images through a service like tineye and get the peoples names that way? Seems like a weak test.

Facebook has lists and fine-grained privacy controls, use them. I've got a list for 'friends' and 'acquaintances'. The acquaintances list only gets to see the wall posts and photos that I approve as acquaintance-friendly.

That link is an unofficial blog. Either way, the point stands though, they're still just arbitrary numbers. Back in the day when software was paid for by version number, an increase of 1.0 was a marketing tool that usually meant a significa

Why? Major versions are just a number. How many major versions of Chrome were there last year? I haven't looked it up but I bet it was more than 4.

These type of comments are pointless. If you have a point to make then make it. I think the protocol is actually quite nice, I have an aversion to anything XML but that's just a personal preference. Have you used it in development? It works

This may be so but how does it justify Skype blocking flash from using the camera?

Fantastic! Are there any real differences between the current node.js cloud platforms (nodefu, no.de, nodeJsCloud, Heroku's service etc...) from an architectural point of view?

With S3 your data is stored in more than three places though.

Apple's reasons for not supporting Flash on their mobile platform are primarily performance reasons. It's not only Apple that isn't supporting WebM by the way, IE9 won't support it (unless you have a VP8 codec installed). In fact, the only

Looks very nice. Do the 365 days start from when you sign up and pay or is it from Jan 1st 2011?
