For my 6th birthday party, my mother challenged all the kids to guess the number of Smarties (M&M-like candy) in a tube. Everyone guessed in the range of 15-20, except for one joker who yelled out 100. It ended up being 121. This makes

I'm the 'Glen' from the Chromium UI team referred to in the bug report; we actually do torture ourselves over questions like this - it comes down to painful decisions about keeping Chrome lightweight. Sure, a single small context menu item

FWIW, smooth scrolling is implemented (by default) in the lastest Windows dev channel build.

Would you be OK with resizing? App Engine has a 1MB limit, and I could get around that by splitting the file on the client, but I could also just do a resize in JS with canvas/ImageData.

Please try again. Cause: In order to make the open source distribution cleaner, I moved the app.yaml into the same directory as the other files. It was previously in the directory above, so my static_dir declaration went from source/files t

You're right - it would've been very easy to replace the browser detect with a feature detect once I knew what features I'd have settled on, at the time though compatibility was a distant second to proving the concept, so I lazily didn't bo

Blur is only possible in IE with filter:blur (and I use it if available) - I've been bugging people to add CSS blur to WebKit :)

Yep; I realize this is usually taken to be poor form, though I'm no idealist - I did it while the APIs I was using were in flux (I flipped through a few upload techniques), and focused on getting it working right in a few before expanding t

That's strange - my Firefox 3.6.6 on Ubuntu works with it OK. I wonder if the browser detect script I'm using is having issues, as another poster said that Chromium was failing, where it doesn't on my machines :\ Cool domain name; wish I'd

I didn't realize submission text would be eaten for external links, so here it is: I had an itch to scratch around making it easy to share sets of images with other designers and thought that I could use the new drag and drop file support t

Safari 5, at least on Windows, doesn't support the File and FileReader APIs which are necessary for the drag and drop uploader. If you've seen otherwise, please let me know (I love the Safari team, and don't want to be unfair to them). Nigh

I would very much like to have this auto-pull from Dropbox folders; it is something for another weekend. I just posted the source: http://github.com/glenmurphy/dropmocks

I design a popular browser for a living, and I also liked breadcrumbs enough to write up this quick hack back in 2003: http://bodytag.org/crumbler/ Here are a jumble of quick thoughts, please don't take them as the opinion of the team: 1.

I do this today with my various Google accounts by forwarding one to the other, then using the 'Reply from the same address the message was sent to' setting in the 'send mail as' section in the settings. This way I can have multiple address

I have found that as I've gained more experience, my ability to rapid-prototype has gone down - it's extremely hard to break out of the habit of doing things the 'right way' and go back to doing them 'the fast way'. (On the other hand, my p

I thought their product used a hardware cradle that contained the ANT receiver and presumably communicated over the dock connector, so that they wouldn't have had to use any built-in receivers.

It means "If the design calls for having text flow across side-by-side columns (like in newspapers or magazines), what ways are there to code it?"

Plenty of programmers run Windows without being tied to a Microsoft stack; web developers, for example. Believe it or not, there are many people who prefer Windows - while Unix-like OSes may be better for some things, many people use the sa

"contact us page" tends to be synonymous with "the boring details page", so if your company has operating hours, put them on there. It drives me bananas when I can't find them or have to call to find them out.

You didn't specify the platform, but Visual Studio with Visual Assist X surprisingly makes for a really good JS editor. I've found it a lot faster and easier on my system than the larger Java-based JS editors (JSEclipse, Komodo etc). It doe

This is why Chrome has built-in silent autoupdate - the vast majority of our users are on the a new version within a week of releasing it. See graphs: http://www.belshe.com/test/velocity2010/#slide38.0 The shallow curve is our development

This method of storing replays frequently leads to brokenness when the game logic updates due to patches. IL2: Sturmovik had replays like this and if you ran an old replay on a newer version, the replay planes would end up running off the r

Technical reason: Referers aren't sent when transitioning from an SSL page to a non-SSL page - to get the referer sent along, there would need to be an intermediate HTTP step and redirect, which would be slower, and would defeat the point o

This is a cool idea. I know all of this is probably in your todo list, but here are my gut reactions: 1. I only read as far as the "tells you when to plant" before I entered my zipcode, then spent pageload time wondering how you were going

It feels just a little more novel when you consider just how late into last century sci-fi stories were getting written with little or no notion of universal mobile communication. (Some excuses may be made on the grounds of story flow and b
