I don't think this particular editor, or any other WYSIWYG editors I'm aware of, are really targeted at the use case you're referring to. Most of us deploying WYSIWYG editors are doing so in applications designed for non-technical users, wh

"Notwithstanding debt" This entire article hinges on those two words in the second paragraph. Sure, these companies are holding some cash. But if I have $10,000 in my checking account and owe $100,000 in credit card debt, does that make me

If only in killing it they would inadvertently spur the development of an alternative... It seems to me that there are almost enough smart phones on the market that an alternative (free) messaging protocol could get a foothold, and if it ga

Background processing is a big win here. I think I've probably dreamed up about a dozen cool iPhone apps and then smacking against the "dang, that would require background processing" wall. I understand Apple's reasoning as far as wanting t

I agree, it's an interesting question. Keep in mind that "looks" doesn't necessarily mean "good looking," it just means an assessment of competence based upon physical appearance. I think our knee-jerk reaction these days is to assume that

Count your blessings. I think there would have been twice the hype had they released it for Linux and Mac. Most of the hypemakers are on Macs these days, aren't they...

I'd like to see how fast it can be done in Wordpress as well, if this is really going to have any meaning.

> Lots of iPhone users never had a smartphone before. This statement may be technically true, but I highly doubt it's true among the writers and commentators like Arrington that we hear so much about the iPhone from. In fact, most of th

It's more like a collection or list of resources, and the search term is a filter on that collection.

Do you know why it changed? Did they get some kind of cease and desist from Cuil?

No, that's not the same game. "Similar" I will grant you, but if you are a Scrabble player than this substitute would never suffice.

It's one of my most used web services too, for personal bookmarking. There is no more disappointing feeling in the world then looking back for an article I read a few weeks ago and realizing I forgot to save it in del.icio.us. When I think

I actually like it quite a bit. There are probably a bunch of people like me who have grown quite accustomed to using the Firefox address bar as a quick way to do a Google i'm feeling lucky search. For me, as an FF2 user, this fits quite pe

HTML table elements are not the solution. They are a convenient hack that happens to be the best alternative in 2008 because the majority of users is still on an IE browser. In fact, it is quite possible to get table-like layout behavior wh

This mentality is frequently at odds with how companies find the best candidates. It presumes that you, the company, have this great and wonderful thing to offer some lucky individual, the candidate. The candidate, gracious for even the opp

This article struck a nerve for me (in a good way). It's not just that Photoshop is the wrong tool for the job, it's also that it encourages a mentality in the designer which I think is totally at odds with a positive and productive user ex

a.) This costs money and b.) I haven't actually used it. But I bookmarked it a few weeks ago because it looked interesting. Seems to be a Rails implementation of the BrainTree payment gateway. Worth a look, particularly if you're using Rail

Um. I think author is confusing "programming" with "working with code." His frustrations have more to do with CSS compatibility in browsers than with the actual high-level conceptual thinking that true programming entails. But even taking h

Yeah, you can send them via email for free. There may or may not be other restrictions that I"m aware of. Your method, however, requires the user to know the provider of the number. In the application I had made, users could send messages v

It doesn't just cost consumers either. If you're a developer who wants to implement SMS in an app, you're looking at probably $.05 per message, maybe shaving a bit off with a volume buy. I had a fun app that I have largely given up on once

I like Techcrunch. I can't keep up with it though, they just publish so many articles, and I don't have time for all of them. I count on Hacker News, Reddit, etc. to tell me which ones are worth the read, so I vote no.

I like Rails and ActiveRecord just fine, so I don't meant to bag on it. But they do talk a lot about "magic" in the Rails community. Check it: http://www.google.com/search?q=rails+magic

Awesome, go get 'em. I think you'll have some stiff competition from BuddyPress, particularly since they've got a head start on the extensible platform, but I wish you guys the best... it's anybody's game at this point. Ning is really the p
