Kinda cool- it's clean and very focused. Reminds me of http://milo.com/ , but more specific.

That's pretty great- wish I had an android to try it! I can't help but wonder what kind of speed you actually get through that- would it be sufficient for day-to-day use, or just enough for a few patient page loads now and then?

It depends on the startup. If I were starting a company that needs a critical mass to be profitable (eg a social network), and therefore needed more cash up front that could be produced without external funding, then no, I probably wouldn'

Handy tool. I'm curious how many of those examples are used by any significant number of people. Perhaps I'm color-biased towards what I'm used to, but I can't imagine anyone except perhaps the author using some of these: http://macwrigh

Benefits (eg, healthcare) might be difficult to extend overseas, as compared to within the US, especially for smaller companies. Further, there might be some general hesitancy due to fear of the unknown. A small company might have few or n

Almost every place I've worked has had some version of a lunch decider or another. At one place, it was a rails app I wrote in 5 minutes, just to prove to my coworker that it was faster to make than pulling names out of a hat. At another,

I have not. Furthermore, everyone I've ever asked has said that they also just have an account because they feel like they might need it some day. None of them ever actually use it. Clearly it's not the case that no one gets any value fro

Have you considered setting up an api? If I used this, I'd worry that if I forget to respond to the emails or something. Letting me hook it into other events that indicate I'm alive, such as logging into my laptop, etc, would prevent this

The shorter distance to the mouse is one reason I prefer laptop keyboards in general. The trackpad is centered below the keyboard, and it's always in the same place relative to the keyboard, reducing the slight time it takes to find the mo

His thesis seems to be that powerpoint is a poor tool for fostering discussion. To be honest, this seems kinda self-evident; powerpoint is a tool for disseminating information- for facilitating a largely one-way transmission from speaker t

Seems like it'd get pretty boring after the heat death of the universe.

As a developer who is semi-color-blind but still likes to dabble in graphic design, I'm a fan of colourlovers. I can't pick a palette to save my life, so I just pick one off of there. :)

I'm curious how the audio was generated. It seems to be somewhat dependent on the character being displayed, as evidenced by jumping between different types of characters (basic letters vs japanese characters)
