I got tired of GoDaddy a while ago and moved all of my domains to NameCheap. They've been great, although private registrations cost a couple dollars after the first year. Edit: http://www.namecheap.com

Microsoft will have to get on board. It's pretty much a given that this will go in the Chrome OS, so I can't imagine MS just letting google check off that feature.

I'm waiting for them to reject a paint/drawing app of some sort for "illicit content" after an app store reviewer draws an inappropriate picture.

Given that the article author is a Rails developer, I'm assuming they out-source the support on their Rails apps. Still odd, but I can definitely attest to more bigger companies moving to Rails, with yet more anecdotal evidence :)

This is great news. Now, if only the iPhone web app of Gmail supported sending from different accounts this would be perfect.

This does look like a ton of fun, though the "hose" attachment didn't seem to go too far. It's also not cheap. But kudos to the developer of the thing! It's an incredibly original invention and application. Plus, since it runs in the wat

This is good advice. One thing I prefer that's different from the article is squashed merges from a branch I've been working on, that makes it really easy to undo any changes. The syntax is easy, also: git merge --squash branchname

The article commentary on that is priceless also: "Horizon may be breaking new ground in public relations with its response."

I know Apple has been arguably hostile towards developers with the app store approval process but it's got to be really demoralizing to have your app verbally approved by someone so high up and then taken out of the app store entirely after

As someone who has done some code reviews recently, I can tell you that my answer would definitely not be "My own." :)

I really would have liked some more background to his statement on Tokyo Cabinet's tables other than saying that "they basically suck." I've never heard this before and couldn't find anything on Google to support that.

Since food is always available to your cats, you probably wouldn't have gotten the same cry the study suggests. That cry is just for food and supposedly hits the same frequency as a human babys. So, cats aren't exactly controlling their ow

I saw that. It sort of struck me as a company learning from their mistakes. I still think extrapolating a bait and switch doom and gloom catastrophe is a bit much :)

This is a pretty dramatic conclusion to draw from seeing one app that charges $0.99 and a monthly fee. If you look at the screenshot in the article, it seems to make it pretty clear that it's $9.99/month for the turn by turn directions asp

Facebook's response to the guy demonstrates a total lack of understanding of the issue: I apologize for this inconvenience. Unfortunately, this is not an error on our end. You will need to speak with your email provider in order to resolve

This may be true for TED (never been) but for most tech conferences I've spoken at the presenters are still putting together slides for their presentation right up until they talk. This tends to get the latest stuff in. Not to say I'm dis

I think I speak for a bunch of us HN readers when I say I'm happy for the guy. These are great problems to have and it's cool he's cataloged his journey/success on his blog.

I'm using a Mac and use Macports for almost everything. Fink was the best choice back on OS X 10.2 but MacPorts generally has the latest versions you'll be wanting to use. My hierarchy is usually /opt and then /usr/local for stuff I don't
