What's the whole story here? Is it because he created a way for people to create routes, and is not using the official Google Maps API method for creating/showing routes? If he just altered his app to use Google's approved

It's just as ironic that his post to answer whether Twitter would support a 140+ character count neither said they would or wouldn't be changing the limit by using a screenshot of text more than 140 characters. I believe this post

I feel like the search results are getting better. EDIT: Complaint #1 removed. I can change the THEME in DDG to get blue links. Awesome. #2 Complaint is that I dislike the font-weight changes on search sites. I don't need my search

I haven't been able to find a way to try this. I'm not sure that it exists yet, at least not everywhere. Seems like each year someone posts something saying that it may be coming, but I personally haven't seen it yet.

Yes and no. I really want the service as part of my local post office. I wish I could keep my current PO Box that I've had for years but still have some of these features. It would be awesome if the Post Office could: A) Let me know m

Watched the film in 2001, still waiting for USPS to start scanning my PO Box mail and email it to me. Actually, they don't have to go that far. I'd take a simple email notifying me that I HAVE mail in my PO Box, and maybe who it&

I could not disagree more. Don't fix what isn't broken (anymore). I believe that after years of designing websites, we found something that works, and works well. Consumers land on sites and see something familiar. It makes for

In a couple years, he will probably learn that maintaining this invoice system to support the changes in his business will prove to be a frustrating waste of time. For a reasonable fee, I now use Freshbooks. I love paying a small fee to ha

Angry Birds 2 felt like the exact same game to me with new birds and scenery maybe. I couldn't figure out how they could pull this IAP nonsense - especially when so many other versions of their games are out there for free, most of wh

This would be SO COOL if it had some kind of baseline, or study guide. Simply meaning, I should be able to listen to C D E for a while to get to know the difference. I need examples of Major, Minor, Augmented chords, and what I'm even

Awesome! My 11 year old son submitted his first LudumDare Jam game this morning. It's a Javascript / HTML5 clicker/incremental game (think Cookie Clicker) built on a game engine I created. He's been getting so much bet

I think the only reason CERN was involved at all is because the student used an illegal version of the software to access their system. By going to CERN, they were able to track down the culprit, and that was the student, who essentially w

I am, yes. But it's quite transparent most of the time. It's the kid with bad breath, greasy hair, and foul odor in the corner of the computer lab with a stack of books next to him that I would believe is truly stressed and fini

I just think it's a young person thing. Pushing 40, if I went back to college, and all the kids were taking cots to the engineering building to sleep on while somehow getting ready for a final, I'm sure I'd have nothing to do

Wow, that's quite a story, he clearly took it more seriously than I did. Mine is pretty simple, because I loved to tinker with OS's, and since everyone is sharing... My local ISP gave away shell account I could telnet to and acce

I love the part about students walking around in their pajamas at the library during finals week. The "puppy room" sounds utterly ridiculous. It's been a long time, but this happened at my University too. It was just part o

To me, it seems lots of the "big ideas" dreamed up by the 20-year-olds seem to only cater to the 20-year-olds. I'm upper 30's, lots of kids, married a long time. Too much of the new stuff doesn't interest me. Mayb

Yes, thank you, I almost forgot about how it really began with tweaking the code for the game itself! Great memories. Reminds me of how so many old games had .dat files (or something similar) that you could mess with initial settings or s

Probably the best point here by far. I didn't start learning to program because I wanted to program, I learned to program because I saw a file called GORILLA.BAS in one of the folders on my MS-DOS machine. Once I figured out I could op

One Christmas I got my ~6 yr old son a Rubik's Cube. He loved it and carried it around for a couple days. Then I took it from him to explain how you're supposed to mix it up and solve it. He cried when I couldn't get it ba

I think Supercell is more the Taylor Swift of the App Store. Maybe if they threatened to turn off IAP on Clash of Clans until Apple made the developer split more fair, then we'd get a response? But then again, this could be apples and

Since this is something that is encrypted and can be backed up, you could have a second, third, fourth, as many as you want. You can leave your "wallet" with anyone, and it would be safe. I guess the trick is keeping them synced

Going back to day 1, it looks like she's doing 180 games for 180 days. I love watching these unfold! My only suggestion is that with every game you make, try to stray from the norm a bit, and a splash of creativity, or a twist on the
