One factor influencing photographers could have been that many of their high profile clients were (and are) creating and hosting Flash websites. A lot of ad agencies still espouse Flash websites. Check out thefwa.com or Comm Arts Interacti

Yeah, it's a couple years old now: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1272481 At this point, much of the CSS3 demonstrated wouldn't require a vendor prefix at all.

Nice, runs well on iPad 1. Better than PE on my Nexus One, that's for sure. Looks like it's only $6.99 rather than the $9.99 quoted last night.

I'm more comfortable sharing the EFF 'opposition' post from yesterday. It's full of quotes that outline the concerns to friends and family that just won't understand or care about 'DNS'. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/11/explosion-oppo

True, Steam and the Mac App Store have largely remedied that, but the amount of titles available (and release date) are still quite a bit behind Windows. I've also noticed my games (Source games in Steam and Minecraft) push more fps when I

Yes, "text neck" is a serious problem with working on laptop/tablet. Using an external keyboard would allow for proper placement of the display on a desk. But manipulating the iPad via swipes while positioned at head level could lead to sho

Maybe with the 13" MBA or MBP, but my 11" gets around half the battery life of an iPad. On a different note, an iPad also makes for a decent external display for a cramped 11" MBA.

Check out Tomato firmware: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato Much more control than stock firmware. It may be a matter of adjusting max connections and/or TCP timeout.

If you're looking at a powered-off screen only, maybe all smartphones look the same. Do all laptops look the same? The design and construction of the bezel, sides and back of a smartphone contribute significantly to the user's experience. D

Most videos uploaded in the past couple of years would be compressed as MPEG4 (h.264, specifically), but regardless of the video format the audio/video would be muxed into one file. If the video track consists of one still image, the impact

Agreed, must not have been the IPS he used, while that's what the OP referenced. I've got an 11" MBA, and the display, while better than my EeePC, is certainly inferior to any IPS panel I've ever owned or used.

He granted SFPD permission, not Apple employees. $100k? That sounds like a stretch. Are you saying the residences of everyone present at the bar that night should be subject to search?

The B&M markup on cables and adapters bothers me enough that I'll eat the downtime and buy from Monoprice or Newegg. For the price of one HDMI at Walmart, I was able to get HDMI, optical, and a display port->HDMI adapter from Monopr

I appreciate the comparison, and I know it's nitpicking, but those images seem much heavier than they need to be. Using JPGs and/or 8-bit PNGs for the header and sub images could have saved 400K or so.
