We should get in contact. I work on http://voomaxer.com and my mantra is to prevent people from overtraining. So far I only handle run/walk/swim/bike/sleep/heart/weight but I want to get into weights.

GMail has been improved in ways other than UI changes. They have rewritten the HTML, CSS and JS to make it more hackable for Greasemonkey - and in the process, optimized that HTML, CSS, and JS to reduce number of connections and subsequentl

It is not a matter of people complaining from both angles. The concern is that Apple is obviously controlling what gets in but they let this (supposedly poor) app in. Just like everything else, it's about being fair. If you break the rules

You mention an "underclass" as a talking point for your "progression" from the libertarian. You subsequently argue that hackers wrongly disrespect the underclass. Wrongly, because the underclass is [unknowingly] stupid. Being an uninformed

Doesn't Microsoft Windows kind of do this? You can optionally use these "certified drivers" and software from big vendors, but there are always the long tail of apps, widgets, bleeding edge drivers, smiley faces etc, that people will always

This is the main reason Apple can ensure quality. They limit the scope of their hardware so there are no unexpected use cases. Visual voicemail "just works", the app store "just works". The problem is that the iphone appeals to geeks, and m

Arrington consistently bashes Twitter (it seems weekly), he has even personally attacked their previous head architect. It's possible Arrington is trying to get revenge on Twitter for unknown reasons (other than it being down all the time)

I'm not sure a tipping model would generate enough for Hollywood. Along the same idea of avoiding the ads, I'd rather pay a subscription for a piecemeal selection of HD episodes with no ads.
