Google had a service (6 or more years ago) that would search TV shows (that they were recording themselves) and provide back the transcripts and thumbnail images for any matches. I suspect this was used as training data.

It would be great if Google would allow for managing of a custom reverse proxy with unique IP into an app. This could solve the naked domain and SSL issues and enable other cool customizations. Has anyone done this themselves? Just put Varn

Most Dutch people I've met in the US seemed rather cynical. They were all quite likable and I enjoyed spending time with them but the way you interpret "how are you doing" makes me wonder if I was just wrongly interpreting them. It always m

Care to elaborate a little about how well static content works for you? I'm working on something where I was thinking about using S3 for static and building a really simple GAE datastore-backed JSON API pulled in from the static files. Noth

I would encourage you to make that a priority. Every time I see something about SproutCore, I'm interested but end up not doing anything with it. I keep hearing about the demos being out of date. Things like this: "we have a great new defau

Why does that stop you from writing them in CoffeeScript, especially if it's faster? Because you want contributions back to the projects from JS-only developers?

We have tons of decades-old video alive and well today. They may not have expertise with S3 but if they don't have the expertise to ensure robust backups, they're doing it wrong.

The site says it works well with Sencha Touch. What would you gain there? It seems many of these features are built in to Sencha Touch and it's limited to iOS, Android and Blackberry 6, anyway. Are you suggesting using Boilerplate as a comp

I was going to make the same basic point. I think people on the outside will look at things like this and say "dying" when things are mostly moving across 8 mile. "Detroit" [e.g. Metro Detroit] is very spread out and this is just a trend, l
