This was good. If you're interested in some further tech/visual neuroscience crossover, the intros to these two posts I made have some relevant information: http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/08/frame-wars/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/19/a-

This is something I've been meaning to mention to the FS developers for like a year now. All you need is to let people be members of teams and track team presence with some basic blob-based map overlays. People will quickly and naturally di

I've got a few of these. Worth having, some of them, but they're not always the best translations or editions. Nice to dip into on short notice, but if you want to read any in full, better to pick up a newer edition or at least peep a few b

Isn't the first month, like, the least indicative month, out of ALL the months? If they have 200,000 next month and a million in a year, we'll talk, but this site has all the indicators of being a that's-cool-move-on thing.

I admire this guy's tenacity and character, but his advice seems to be "become a highly-paid consultant," which necessitates a certain amount of expertise and smarts which he clearly has but which many of his readers lack, however they may

Nice. This goes a long way towards making the platform accessible to real non-coders, or kids even. I'm reposting this on CrunchGear, thanks for putting it up.

Note beforehand or in brackets at the end that the [sic] was not added - wherever you'd add "emphasis mine" if you'd highlighted part of it.

Yeah, I had this exact issue with the Galaxy series (not Galaxy II, which as martythemaniak mentions, fixes it) and mentioned it in my review. Some people simply don't see it, though, it really amazes me. I can't NOT see it.

Yeah, I saw this rumor a while back and I wasn't convinced it was related. It's like saying Area 51 had a gap in the fence. That said, it's obviously indicative of bad security practice and will likely count against them either way.

Very cool. Posting this on TechCrunch (with artmageddon's concerns below noted).

I think it's an interesting app, but... with all their content provided by other people, and a purposely simple, procedurally-generated interface, what the hell do they even need $50m for? What investor would say "yeah that sounds like a re

Shades of Kozmo.com. Needs a billion users to make any kind of sense.

It's troubling how little of this article is about the actual service. I'm left wondering why this is worth $5m? Isn't this basically HotBot for signup services?

It's credit-card-sized on its largest, user-facing side. It's the easiest size analogy and one most people can relate to. It is 15mm thick, which is 5mm thicker than an iPhone, but really, the only thing that matters is how it actually hand

In my opinion this is more indicative of the lack of solid image editing apps on OS X than any real quality on Pixelmator's part. I find the free tools available on Windows (Paint.net is amazing) to be far more useful and intuitive that Pix

Haven't we been calling them tablets for ages? People have been designing around the idea of tablets for decades. They had the ideas for the applications of tablets fifty years ago. I'm not sure I understand what this article says that is i

Looks like none of these things seem to support JPEG2000, which is how Google Books encodes images larger than some threshold x. There are a couple apps that add it in, but most PDF readers rely on built-in stuff in iOS or Android. I read P

I'm not buying it. There are too many outside variables. And as one commenter points out, this disease seems unusually concentrated in the USA. Also, any animal in constant proximity to humans is likely less lean than its wild counterparts.
