Twitpay doesn't use the twitter session. The way twitpay is setup, it's a lot easier to go without a password. The only ways not to use a password lead to ridiculously huge scaling issues. According to Twitter, they will offer OAuth ( http

yeah, I wanted something to make it stand out in the crowd of twitter apps.

Man! I want 250 points now. Just 233 points away . . . Of course I pretty much associate the orange and gray with HN, so I'll probably get 250, and say "YES! I can change my top bar color!" and then try to decide what color to use for 10 m

why not rank it by money brought in rather than volume of sales? So it would be sales * price. Then the only way for someone to get into that top 50 is to maximize their profit, which is what they're trying to do anyway. Then the app store

Twitpay doesn't let you link it with a credit card or anything. You have to authorize the paypal payment anytime you want to add money to it, so the only money someone could take that way is the money you leave in your account.

I'm actually working on a twitter app that needs passwords that's soon to launch ( http://tweetlinkmonster.com/ if you want to see. You can signup if you want, it works and is secure. I just want to polish before really launching.) For now

And I don't even mean to say that I would never use this OS. A fast-loading OS that will get me to my web apps easily has its place. What I am saying is that I will never--at least in the at all near future--exclusively have this on a compu

I'm not saying that web apps are horrible. I'm just saying that certainly not now, and probably never, can they fully supplant traditional desktop apps. There are too many times when you're on a plane or for whatever reason can't get intern

The fact that they mentioned that it can be installed alongside another OS is good, because unless they plan on packaging it with more than just the browser, it always should be. I like web apps as much as the next guy, but they can never t

What I really like about emacs is extensibility in Lisp. I used vim until I wanted to be able to hack my editor. I have absolutely no desire to learn vimscript, a language useful solely for hacking vim. Lisp, on the other hand, is actually

This site has a pretty major flaw. It assumes one worker regardless of the number of adults, and it also charges for childcare. So really, both adults could work for half of the wage in the 2-adult models. I'm not begrudging people that liv

I really like it. An "Ignore rule" button would be nice. If you're trying to demonstrate a strong vocabulary in your paper, you might not ever want simpler words. (I chose that rule in particular because you seem to have made that rule too

Remember that (assuming this is real), that money isn't really coming from Google. Google actually makes money from AdSense. So this should really be called Google AdSense Advertisers Will Eat Google. GAAWEG: Kinda a long name, but I would
