Is Stack Overflow a game in which the goal is to get the most reputation and badges? Or are you using it as a tool to discover solutions to programming problems? Or Both?

Do any of your business plans involve putting ads on your fantastically minimal design? I'm visualizing min.us transforming into yfrog.com.

Excellent design. Big question: how will they make money?

I look at it like this 90% of american tv is garbage, and 90% of japanese animation is garbage. But the 10% is gold (see berserk).

Thats very true, but other app store policies aside, if your going to write a new app this might be enough FUD to completely rule out MonoTouch (which I was considering).

This could mean instant death for MonoTouch. What developer would choose to write an iphone/ipad app in MonoTouch with the risk of having to re-write their app if apple drops the hammer.

SO has being in development for more than 1 year, during that time the UI has being under constant refinement. Lets see where Shapado is in 6 months, my guess is exactly where it is now ( GUI wise ).

I was too harsh earlier. The main point I'd like to make is that themes are independent of the core UI refinements that need to happen. Shapado faces 6+ months of work before it can have quality of SO. I support open source software, but w

This may just be a matter of taste in the case of chrome, I think they are extremely ugly. http://is.gd/b0ydO

Sorry to be so harsh but, the introduction of themes signals to me that the developers have thrown their hands up in defeat. The alternative is to improve the look and feel of the core design. You guys have managed to rip off / borrow stac

I immediately noticed the lack of polish. Shapado faces a very long tail of interface improvements before it can begin to approach SO in quality.

Wow chromium is making awesome progress. Chrome is going to be my hands down choice for browser on the mac. Is it just me or does the chrome theme stick out like a sore thumb in aqua? One of the nice GUI features of chrome on Windows is th

One reason Ada is not used instead of C on embedded platforms is it's RAM requirements. Many embedded platforms have 3000 - 8000k of RAM. Ada's runtime uses something in the range of 100k.

Agreed when it comes to online streaming video, Mark Cuban is belligerent, and just plain wrong. Maybe this touches a cord, having founded the massively overvalued Broadcast.com ( where is that now? yahoo video? ). But on any subject other
