This confused me as well, but I think he means that the bad news will be buried in all the media hype/time being devoted to iPhone.

You know, me and my friends were talking just the other day about how massive myTunes was in college, pretty much everyone was using it. What a sad loss of a fantastic talent.

I think I can say pretty confidently and without providing any data that most people use Facebook to connect with people they know from real life. I believe that adding a complete stranger is seen as a bit creepy. Maybe the new Groups featu

You should also do it this way with nginx if you want websockets to work. This is because nginx proxy doesn't currently support http 1.1 or keep-alive.

I've always liked these - the hq3x algorithm is stunning (scroll down on the linked page to see a good result).

Maybe someone with more knowledge of this can help me; does this mean that one simply has to use https with EC2 and store everything on AWS to be fully PCI compliant? If so, AWS just became even more attractive.

I have to disagree with point 3. At least in the UK, almost everyone uses wireless rather than wire connections in the home 73% of the UK population have home internet access, and 60% of the UK population use the internet every day. I think

Good job, I've already bought both PushupFu and CrunchFu. Is this like a combination of those two and more?

Would you have provided an API if they had asked?

No they're not. You need a credit card from a US bank. Amazon FPS has some really good aggregate payment features that I can't find anywhere else, so I'm starting a US company primarily to get round this.

Very nice. Maybe you could you apply a different stylesheet to the comments, and hide any elements which allow you to click through to stories. Just removing everything above the comment box would be fine.

From his Playboy interview, aged 29: Playboy: What does the money actually mean to you? Jobs: I still don't understand it. It's a large responsibility to have more than you can spend in your lifetime--and I feel I have to spend it. If you d

I had some fun rating things on Swayable. The total variety of different stuff makes it quite compelling. Actually I think just the rating part alone would make quite a fun iPhone app (i.e. make that the focus of the app, as only ~5% of use

Yes, and 1984 is a book which has sold over 25 million copies for a publisher which is now an imprint of Random House which is owned by Bertelsmann (2009 revenue €15b). That doesn't diminish its value as a work of art or as a cultural refer

It is crazy. I really think you should charge more.

I agree, it looks like total 'programmer art'. The flat grey at the top. The logo. The badly resized bullet points with jagged artefacts. No sign of the original salesforce logo. All the fonts are a little too big, but not in a pretty way.

Like many others, I didn't hit the launch date for my app: seating plan software for dinner events and weddings ( http://www.tabletwist.com ). I did make huge amount of progress though, and I'm hoping to launch before 2011!

A surprising number of people don't know how to even do that (my mum included, though I've tried to explain). They can type 'wikileaks' into Google though.

Great post. I don't know a lot about how well this would work in practice (perhaps Matt Cutts could comment), but anchor text link gaming is a huge problem and this sounds like a decent solution. Many of Google's results have started to 'fe

I was at ITS2010 where this was recently presented. The demo was very nice and works pretty well. I'd like to see a version with a comfortably angled upper area and a shorter horizontal area to reduce reaching, but overall it still worked w

The absolute worst is when you're linked to a specific page on a site, but you get redirected to the mobile home page so you have no way of viewing the page you want.

I had this idea about 2 months ago and thought quite seriously about it, for the reasons you described. But there are a lot of issues. How do you confirm to the customer that their booking went through? What if no-one answers? The customer
