Perhaps I'm missing something here -- people criticize group deal sites for taking too much of the money in a deal (50% of the revenue). The marginal cost for LivingSocial on this is 0... why aren't they making tons of money? Where has the

ICE/STUN (which is used by WebRTC and thus PeerJS) support NAT traversal in all cases but a pair of symmetric NATs, which means some single digit percentage of connections will not work. For those cases, WebRTC/PeerJS support using a TURN s

I don't know why everyone is so critical of Zynga trying to hide this news among the Apple stories -- what is the argument for not doing so? "Hey guys, lets make sure EVERYONE hears that we're closing down offices and laying off employees,

I love seeing apps that replace what we misuse email for -- e.g. sending files to a friend -- and looks like you guys have that spot on. The biggest issue with other solutions is that they grow to a point where it's no longer easier than j

I'm glad you asked! BinaryPack is actually a extended version of msgpack. Specifically msgpack doesn't differentiate between binary and string types. This is fine for most dynamic languages as "strings" can hold both string and binary data.
