It's a huge rate, that's for sure. I'm sure it's due to the reasons you mentioned- these ads will remain viable for some time. The actual rate paid out is likely not sustainable, though. Same thing happened to AdSense when it launched- thos

No. Your mileage will vary, of course: a large part of this is rumored to be tied to how strong your AT&T signal is, so it may be I live and work in areas of relatively strong signals. I very rarely have experienced a signal strength pr

There's a number of angles of attack available. It's certainly hard to top Facebook purely on the social graph (as you mentioned, everyone is on it). But I think you can attack Facebook on areas they lack and areas they've fallen down on. 1

As owner of the #7 top project, which has an industry-leading three watchers, I hereby deem his numbers as unimpeachable and demand lots of thousands of dollars added to my bank account in recognition of this feat.

Ah; I stand corrected... I misread what Gruber wrote. Looks like Android handles updates fine, but there's no way to cross-load data between devices . So buying the latest and greatest hardware leaves you in the cold, at least until Froyo.

What Gruber was getting at is that Apple has a far better syncing strategy since Android wipes everything between updates and Apple neatly brings all your data with you. That said, the cloud-based syncing that Android will eventually ship l

For everyone playing along at home and who's curious like I was: seems legit, and it jailbroke my phone (via OS X) in record time. I've tried a couple jailbreaks over the last year or two, and this one was pretty quick and painless. Now off

Just as a nitpick: "the messages can be larger" is an anti-feature for me, and for many others that use Twitter. Inline images and videos is one thing, of course, but if longer messages was a feature then blogging would have defeated Twitte

Yup, that was my first thought too. But you kind of need to know SQL to really figure out the current API, so maybe moving closer to that isn't a bad idea. In any case, you only need to know the idea of SQL, really, since chainable scopes

I appreciate that you're devil's advocating it, and I'm still personally undecided on what direction Apple should be taking, but I'll just point out that all of those aspects could also be applied to OS X: - Reliability is still important o
