To answer the title: yes. It was my freshman year of college and my first introduction to broadband in 1998. I discovered irc via mIrc and somehow somebody put something on my computer where they could control the mouse/keyboard. I watched

First thing that I did when I got a mac was drag the applications folder to the dock and make it a list view. Instant start (menu on the side of the screen. I still use it from time to time, sometimes you just need to see the app icon. But

I knew a guy in college who got to do this for the Sixers one year. He got to sit relatively court-side and just had to keep an key on the game and write down everything. He used pen and pad, but I would imagine that capturing that data is

Good work. I was thinking of something along the lines of Diaspora, but on a smaller scale. You kinda nailed it.

Looking to others' works for inspiration is not a bad thing. You just need to ask why they did something rather than "how can I copy it." You can begin to copy/emulate once you have an understanding of why the choice was made and if that wh

When I explain this to people they think that I am crazy. There is absolutely no need to see the same thing in the side mirrors and the rearview. It should be a seamless transition between them, like a multi-monitor setup.

I've come to accept the dual personality of win8 and was going to hold off any real judgement until we started to see the hybrid laptops that have touch screens. As of this week, we've seen quite a few and it is strange. You are touching me

I like meebo, I always have and still use it (for AIM). I consider myself a fan even though I used to hate: "They got 15 million for online instant messaging?" I really liked how in the early days they would show off their growth, new offic

I doubt that the average android/ios user even attempt that gesture. Is what Im saying. I feel that doing all of the touch gestures with a mouse is a bit much, especially pull down from top to close. I still havent seen a better solution to

Remember when we had to wait almost a year for a film to be available on VHS? For some strange reason, I clearly remember the first time I was wowed at how fast a movie made it to dvd. It was some movie with Lucy Lue that came out in like O

That looks pretty cool. I wonder how easy its going to be for people to discover the gestures because they seem to be so different than Android/ios. That swipe from the edge is going to be a hard one to learn/commit to muscle memory. it loo

Oh yeah, I watched it without the sound and didnt notice until I put on my headphones. This seems like a dreamweaver replacement. Looks great, but not for my workflow. I'll stick with textmate 1 for now. I love Coda's work though, it all se

I've seen Gruber say that Mike Montero was a really good friend of his a few times. He was even on their show. The move could be because he wanted to be with friends and support their efforts.

Hahah yeah. I thought it was just Gruber's personality. There were probably problems when Gruber slammed Readabliity as a scam while one of their investors is Jeffery Zeldman, another 5by5 host. He talked bad about it for a few episodes
