I was actually coming to HN to say the exact same thing. I assumed the link to "Cheddar" in the blog post would give me some information -- also assumed that the logo would take me a top page that would have information about the product. W

The problem is that this is the same argument about why we had the "only supports ie6" way back in the day (and ie5.5 before that). While I don't think that webkit will stagnate the way ie did, it's really amusing to see the webdev communit

I feel the same way, and I've been trying to get away from Cake for a while, but the fact that everything except the quirkiness of the ORM is so nice that I stick with it. Also, the next version is supposed to redo the ORM to return actua

I thought a similar thing -- too much heavy BGM and no idea what the balls have to do with the tablet itself. However, as far as giving information about the product, I don't think it was too bad. Features from the video: * Cover is a keybo

I agree that those helped, but when the people around me started using facebook was right around the time "Social Network" came out in Japan. I used to be on Mixi, and I and most people I know have pretty much stopped using it. When they st

The key part of Patrick's comment is "routine business correspondence." Banking (or anything involving city/prefecture laws) are definitely not routine business, and would require the use of an actual seal (銀行印） that is registered with the

It's also very common to put the amount of capital that your company has on the about page. When looking for vendors, a lot of companies will judge your strength by the amount of capital you have listed there, which is why many companies ha

Jason, WP can be a right pain in the ass, can't it? While I have your ear, I have a question about your comments regarding getting feedback: You mention that you ask for feedback in your welcome mail as well as on Twitter and FB, which are

In my experience this is the money quote for selling in Japan: "Japan has a culture based around personal networks and connections. Japanese consumers look for consensus and poll their friends in making a buying decision." When door to door

It was posted to HN a while ago (I think patrick did), but it didn't stay up for long. Thanks for posting it though -- I think it was much more informative than our first podcast, as we're slowing getting the hang of them. Amy Hoy was a gre

Great premise, no so great execution. Other that the floppy icon, which I do agree with, the others are either not icons (radio buttons are just circles -- radio buttons just happen to be what they're called) or show use items that are stil

Or even in some cases causing the encoding gremlins to get in. I always have major problems with pretty quotes breaking when copying from GoogleDocs to Netbeans. "That's how" becomes "Thatâ€™s how"

You can use png masks to create an icon, and then change the background color of the element below it. You can also use image scaling to make the icon any size you need. http://www.cssbakery.com/2009/06/background-image.html SenchaTouch d

If you search for japan in the 8-bit google maps, the trees are cherry blossoms instead of pine trees. I was disappointed that they don't show the castles as actual castles, though :/

I never got one of the Chromebooks (I don't believe they're even available in my country), but I can understand why they failed at that price point and feature set. If they were $200-300, then they not only are a great value for a laptop, b

I've been wanting to play around with "scrolling pagination" as opposed to an "endless pagination." Where items are removed from the top of the list as they are added to the bottom, so you have a low-memory version of endless pagination. Cu

For me, it's simply that I can easily watch TED content on my TV without having to airplay it from my iphone / ipad. While the free TED talks would never be a reason to subscribe to netflix in the first point, they do increase the value o

I do something similar, where I use hyphens to delineate ideas and sub ideas (table-striped) but use camelCase when one of the class parts contains multiple words. (form-addUser) This also plays well with my IDE which splits word selection

Very cool. Is especially like the automatic syncing. Getting designers to actually upload things to a server, or got forbid have to type in commands to git is just not going to happen. I did find a small bug: in the X/Y view, your scrollbar

Just a comment about the ie6 usage that I mentioned in the podcast( http://www.ie6countdown.com/ ) I was speaking from old data from ie6countdown from last year. Apparently Japan has made great strides since then. (Currently at 6.5%) Good

While I like the option for transcripted podcasts, I actually find that I listen to podcasts more than I would go through and read the transcripts (except for research / review later on). Perhaps it's just a factor of having a long commute,

T-corp: You just didn't hear it from us. =) Also, while I personally wouldn't call what Japan is in a "recession," that is how the Japanese refer to the current economic situation when compared to the bubble of the 80s. I wonder sometimes i

Looks very cool, but it doesn't seem to be able to rearrange divs and other elements, which is what I really need. For any large page or template based system, there is almost always going to be a backend involved, which means that dynamic

This is so true. I went with my co-worker to talk with a client a few weeks ago. Even though we do the exact same thing, we introduced ourselves differently. I said I was a programmer, and the response was "oh, that's nice" He said he was a

Probably because the number of people who can read English greatly outnumbers the number of people who can read Japanese? It's very common for Japanese to use English labeled slides and diagrams for presentations that they know they will be
