It's fascinating to watch 37signals adapt as it becomes a slightly larger company. I think the number of features accomplished is pretty impressive for it being their first attempt at this new way of working. Across multiple products, no

Would it feel more relevant if you were familiar with the author's credentials? James Duncan Davidson, among other things, wrote Tomcat and the Java build tool Ant (and got both donated from Sun to the Apache Software Foundation). He wrote

How do you comment on something so heartfelt and meaningful other than to say I'm very sorry for his loss but deeply grateful that he shared this.

Plus, the iPad has a stylus that ships with every user. Multiple, in fact.

I use Feverº by Shaun Inman. It requires that you have a hosting account somewhere, but has an interesting twist to it: You set up your subscriptions as either "Kindling" or "Sparks". Kindling are your essential feeds and Sparks are your su

Well that's a shame, had you been able to get past that and finish reading, you'd have seen that his point was people are spending too much time marketing crap products and not enough time building superior ones, which suggests lots of oppo

Point of clarification: I believe Django Advent is the site that is hosting articles about the forthcoming Django 1.2 features (like messaging in this particular post), and is not the name of a feature within Django. (Even though the title

So the conclusion was that based on the analysis he's not a liability...for the Vikings. But as a pretty serious fantasy football owner, I wonder if — given the fact that Peterson was the consensus #1 overall pick last season — he was a lia

Okay, not so much the use of the CSS @import rule as much as the mechanism used to deploy the rules. I haven't seen a lot of user installable stylesheets that "phone home." Seems like an under-utilized technique. UPDATED: Yes, I understand

What's really clever about this is that the stylesheet you download and use in your browser merely imports another stylesheet on stevenf's own site, so that additional CSS rules to hide comments can be added for the immediate benefit of eve

Whether Google News is good or bad for a newspaper's online business is also partly a function of how big the newspaper is. Google News seems to frequently promote the biggest sources (NY Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, LA Times) with

First off, this is bad behavior on Ajaxian's part, and they should learn that people will appreciate them just as much (more, actually) if they send the user off-site to the content they're pointing at. Second, shouldn't it be possible for

Even if this seemingly premature and speculative analysis is correct, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Apple makes a good profit margin on their hardware. In the last decade they've demonstrated the pattern of using media distribution a

Nice to have a post that deals with the concrete details of what the iPad is today, not what it may become. I agree that some of the UI elements look shoehorned in from the iPhone interface, and running iPhone apps on the device just wasn't

You're right, I don't think Flash has anything to do with the 3G streaming issues. On the plus side for iPad users, they should be very happy with their contract-free 3G service, because it will never drop a call.

That's a great point and I agree with you. However by that logic, shouldn't the amount of time counted for football include when the quarterback comes under center? There's a lot of football going on when Peyton Manning comes to the line of

I don't know the answer to this, but have we seen evidence that Apple's commitment to OS X is waning? They seem to have discussed multiple product lines today, one of those being the "computer" market, and the others being part of their new

I'd be interested to see a similar breakdown of a baseball game. If you count from the pitcher's release to the end of a play (basically, when the ball is in motion), I bet the total would clock in somewhere around 15 minutes. Edit: 15 minu
