Minecraft: The Story of Mojang[1], just released this morning, is really good. It looks at Markus' original idea, the expansion of the company, the small team environment working on something huge, and lots of the other areas that the game

That was the post's fault not Twitter's. I had to stop reading because I got so confused. Tweets in that post start referencing Gruber's response, but Gruber's response wasn't shared within the post, when it should have been. And authorship

You've not seen the Promoted Trends and Promoted Tweets in Search, that have been there for nearly 2 years. They've been profitable, on a monthly basis for a while.

John Henry is based on a real man, though his story has been embellished with time, and some of the details are uncertain. Most historians, at least in WV, have little doubt that he did exist. If you look at the Wikipedia page on Tall Tale

It would be awesome if you could link the title to the Reddit post, or provide any linking function. Maybe it's there but I couldn't find it. Edit: No sooner did I go back and refresh, there were links on the posts. Awesome work.

After 45 minutes, my index fingers are absolutely warn out from using a trackpad. I really wish he would have made it navigable by more than just click & drag. I do wish this was more thorough, though.

I've always liked the post provided by BetterExplained[0], but this article is more thorough while remaining simple. Would probably still use the BetterExplained post for a first introduction, I think. [0]: http://betterexplained.com/articl

I know that this request was written in 2009, but it's obviously not one that has as much potential with the recent changes Twitter has made. "And the people at Twitter also want to encourage people to build stuff on top of it." Funny, ho

That would leave people like me out. I often find the news here, so I'm very unlikely to submit something. And I only comment when I feel like I'm going to add value to the community or discussion, which isn't that frequently. So I have a c

That people constantly attack PHP? In all seriousness, it just works when your building for the web (unless it doesn't.) Is it often messy? Absolutely. Is it sometimes a bit verbose? Sure. Can it sometimes be like laying a snare, only to a

I'd say that's probably a good thing considering the passwords were being transmitted in the clear[1]. To me this would seem a huge liability to be accessible by bank employees. [1] https://gist.github.com/3020091/

I think this is just a problem with larger metro areas. Normally, at least once a week, I spend several hours on the road, because I enjoy driving. Sure I'm often going somewhere, but while I'm driving I'm sucking in the beautiful countrysi

I think the biggest thing here is, "What you’re looking for is a genuinely thoughtful response." If you are holding back a secret on how you'll solve the problem, and do get such responses; you'll hopefully know which it is. If you are give

I think the content here is fine, but the title is inapropriate and doesn't meet the guidelines of the community. Maybe you or an editor could change it to something like "Jason Calacanis answers: "Will Mahalo return the $21M invested?" "Y

I'd recommend just reading Notch's blog[1], he started it within a few days of starting the project, and he kept a very good log of changes and reasons, there. There are the occasional fan video or something just for silliness as it is his

So it's more sane to spend money just so that you can waste several dozen hours a year watching these shows, that will have ultimately no consequence in your life. If you want to do that it's absolutely fine, but there is no reason to derid

He's promoting the team he had to let go. Maybe it's an advertisement, but he's not going to make anything off of it, besides fostering good will. It's a respectable move, that doesn't seem all that common.

You can try http://pdfmyurl.com/ . I've used it in the past and it works okay, there are occasional formatting issues, but makes something acceptable.
