Oops! I totally meant that Spotify doesn't have those bands. Rdio definitely does. You guys have a fantastic product. It's easy to stick with it.

I disagree that Mog is ahead of the competition. For me, while Mog has more songs, they lose to Rdio in their UI, their iPhone app, and the social aspect of the service. When I was comparing them, it was neck and neck between the two, but I

I'm an Rdio user and I've been trying Spotify today. I'm not thrilled with their music library. There are a bunch of bands that I love that Rdio doesn't have (Arcade Fire, Shins, Ramones, Pink Floyd, older Flogging Molly, newer Eisley, etc.

iTerm 2 has that feature. It's a very good Terminal replacement. The only complaint I've heard about it is that the rendering can be kinda slow if you're drinking from a firehose like dmesg.

Off the top of my head, the big ones are offline reading, keeps your furthest-read position (especially across devices), Kindle integration. I'd pay $5 for any one of those alone. The new features in 3.0 that Marco seems to think are the di

Totally agree. They make setting everything up a snap. They've got presets for most of the services you might use on the web and if you want to customize your DNS records, the editor is very nice.

The only time recently that I've seen a parser tool used was Yehuda Katz' handlebars.js[1], which uses Jison[2] [1] http://handlebars.strobeapp.com/ [2] http://zaach.github.com/jison/

Fascinating. I'm going through sort of the same thing myself. I'm writing ASP.NET MVC and C# at work. I like C#. I think ASP.NET MVC is a good framework. That being said, I've been doing .NET stuff for a good 9 years now (2001, when the fir

As a native english speaker, I paused when I saw that construct too. Looking at the google results, these are examples of the way I would expect those words to be put together: * "Video games could make violence on the whole seem more 'okay

I'm pretty amazed by the recent decisions Microsoft has made with respect to open source projects. The level to which they've been cooperating with the community on Mono, jQuery, and the Iron* languages is something I certainly haven't seen

Have you thought about using Google Reader as a backend instead of keeping your own database of feeds? It seems like that would cut down on your processing of the feeds and enable you to just work on the stuff you care about (the filtering

It would probably look more like Gitorious does. Gitorious is 8 million time better than rolling your own git hosting, but GitHub is so much more polished. I think a large part of that is because Gitorious is open source, so there's nobod
