   Great article, very innovative design. Also, something else caught my eye: City's name is Springfield, and the name of the woman that works at the gas station is Faith FLANDERS. :)

   Nice article, I, too, hadn't noticed the change in scale just by panning around. The Google LatLong blog ( http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/ ) is packed with information related to Google Maps, and the maps API Google Group also is. There

   Agreed. It's just silly to claim "better marketing" is what make people like Apple. Windows is still the most widely used consumer OS in the market: That's also marketing. OSX is great software, the iPhone is a great product, the original M

   Ooh, that's pretty cool. I like the way you receive a "respond" function and call it when you're done. Nice work!

   I had taken a look at it before, and was wondering: Is there a way we can do long-polling stuff with fab? (by "long-polling stuff" I mean deferring response.finish())

   But is it down for everyone? Or just me? (Sorry, someone had to do it)

   $1 seems to be pretty great for this task. I just read some HIT descriptions, and there were A WHOLE LOT of "write 200 words for $0.03" jobs. Which really sucks if you ask me.

    Actually, google has just begun to use your profile URL, using that 'Vanity URL' business. If you turn vanity urls on, your OpenID identifier will be like so: http://google.com/profiles/<your-google-login> ; I have used it and logg

    Also, the only current repo in this account (now called "because" and not "lol" anymore) has been CLONED by two other people! They made some commits, even. wtf?

    I'm from Brazil, so Portuguese is my native language. It's common here for middle-class young people to take English courses for several years. I took one for six years, then one more year of a conversation course. That, along with watching

    I use SilverRack ( http://silverrack.com/ ) and find it very cost-effective. They have some discount codes you can use, and if you ask them they'll probably give you one.

    Just to clarify for those who didn't RTFA: 40% of jerks is the best. More than that is counter-productive. 100% of jerks is worse than 100% of non-jerks.

    As a Brazilian myself, it is always interesting to see how other people learn Portuguese. The link is not to the whole lesson, but to a sample. Even then, it is what it claims to be, a "quick start". It shows you how to ask for stuff, but d

    Sorry, I haven't read TFA, and I don't know what Bing is about. It might even be something worth taking a look at. Maybe. But seriously... Bing? BING? Come on, they can do better than that. "It's Gaelic for 'thy turkey is done'"

    I agree that it's important to note that, since it makes one take the article with a grain of salt. Of course it is unacceptable for China (and anyone else) to "push its weight around" when it comes to dealing with (so-called) "weaker" coun
