I was just thinking today that they (Khan Academy) should add an instant search instead of the wall of links they have currently. For a user such as one of us, the wall of links is ideal for a CTRL-F find to quickly highlight lessons on,

But they are still 'floating' in space (rather than top-aligned), and there appears to be no discrete 'title bar' area... I'm not too hot on this particular design myself.

As long as the App Store isn't the only way to put software on my Mac, sounds like a great idea to me. I heard Steve specifically say something along the lines of "it's not the only way" when introducing the Mac App Store.

Thanks for doing this. Just a point about the site itself: scrolling seems to lock up while items are loading (which it does for some time). Maybe you could make it less aggressive with the async loading of items (load a few, load more when

So designers should do the initial work for free? So their customer can say "nah, I don't like any of them" and then suddenly a design looking remarkably similar appears on their website/products, courtesy of a much cheaper 'designer' wor

The main problem with Java for games is that you have to do graphics through a wrapper written in another language (AFAIK Minecraft uses LWJGL's OpenGL wrapper) and working from a language like Java, you lose some fine control of memory man

Isn't the point of the site that most of these games are difficult to get any other way (ie, even from Amazon & eBay)? When a game is that old , and difficult to get hold of, I think eventually it is no longer 'piracy', and instead bec
