It looks like a potentially nice service. I use Amazon stuff a lot, so I'll look into this. But the fading page elements are really annoying. Especially the navigation links at the top. Just let the page load so I can click around.

I live in Cuyahoga County now and I grew up in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Yet, the name never reminded me of the word "Cuyahoga." Weird. I was surprised to see that someone else made that connection.

Really nice. It was very fast and the couple searches I did gave great results. I'll spread the word. The name is a little hard to remember though.

I don't think so. You have to go back a really long time to find when people thought the earth was flat. In the time of the ancient greeks they estimated the circumference of the earth. And even in the heliocentric theory of astronomy th

He really is just describing a Nokia N810 tablet. When a reader suggested that, Arrington replied: "yes, although we want to build it a lot cheaper and have a much bigger screen." So, he expects to replicate the N810, but with a bigger scr

My objection is that we as humans don't have the right to dictate what temperature the world is set at. Even if it's more economically beneficial for us to not change our behaviors, it's arrogant to think that our species is the only impor

I was hoping the article would also discuss topic selection and accuracy of MSM vs blogs. The traffic results weren't too surprising.

It might be a Dell thing. I've only tried it on Dells and I've seen it work on a couple laptops and an older desktop. Haven't really tested this extensively though. YMMV.

If they use a Windows computer, type the command Ctrl+Alt+DownArrow. It turns their screen upside-down. The other arrows work as well to turn the screen sideways. Not sure how familiar most people are with this though. I've always wanted

Interesting. I've switched the other way. Although I don't think I actually changed at all. I used to think I was pretty organized, but I've come to realize I'm not and I'm more P than J.

MySQL will have to be run on the instance itself, not on S3. Just pretend it's a normal computer, except that you have to have a plan for backups from the very beginning. I recommend the book "High Performance MySQL" from O'Reilly. It's

So are users really going to end up installing Google Gears, Prism, and BrowserPlus? Destkop/web interaction is definitely useful, but I wonder if it's going to get complicated because of all the different platforms.

If you're looking for another secret comic, try We The Robots ( http://www.wetherobots.com/ ). I think it's just as funny as xkcd although there's not much math or programming humor.

Are you trying to find a new niche market, or get more information about a specific niche market? If it's the former, you need to get interested in a niche market. I'm sure there's something semi-rare or different that you're interested in

I've been using this lately. Only takes a few lines of code to upload to S3. I had trouble with larger files (250 MB), but I don't think the problem was with Boto.
