Google could also make an API requiring an API key to access it (for services/tools that depend on it). Refuse to give Facebook an API key, and allow apps that depend on the current method to transition. Within 30 days or so, shut down acce

Developers themselves could also simply scrape this data as needed... preg_match_all('%<td>.*?id=up_([0-9]{5,25}).*?<td class="title"><a href="(.*?)".*?>(.*?)</a>.*?</td>.*?score_[0-9]{5,25}>(

Google could easily fix this w/o impacting other services: block Facebook's referrer. And then present them with an opt-in page for Google.me... BOOM! Instant win? High five.

Exactly. Just signed up for Linode (768) YESTERDAY . Great deals though.

I hate it that the first thing you got to experience in the US was our crummy education system. My condolences. :(

As I am currently working on an education-genre startup, I can't wait to see the results of this poll :)

I imagine it does... It has to at least know who upvoted, to prevent revotes. The timestamp is frequently stored as well.

Their root CA was generated in 2006. In theory, any browser shipped before 2006 will not support it unless it was added (through, for example, Windows Updates).IE7+ is supported; I haven't tested (and don't care to test) IE6.

I agree. The entire time I skimmed over this article (a process of about 10 seconds), I was able to clearly determine that the author had no idea what they were talking about. Needless to say, his website isn't even ranked by Alexa, Compete

When you change the way IMAP works for the better (a feature), then yes, the client should support it. If it doesn't, it's not a fault of the service, it's a fault of the client. I mean, have you ever used labels? I mean, REALLY used labels

On the topic of filters: I have over 200. It's more reliable than spam filtering (in the sense that I know I wont ever get an email from them again, and I don't have to worry about if that link is going to put my email on some "verified" to

Do you know how large 2% of Gmail's userbase is? I think the article said 4 million... Even if it became a trend on Twitter, it could still be a small percentage of users. So I think your claim here is just out of frustration. I have not ex

Gmail loads within 1-3 seconds for me. Not only that, I VERY, VERY rarely close my browser, not even once a day if I can help it. So my mail is always available for me. Priority Inbox is amazing, as well. In regards to iPhone: Simply get an

that's exactly why I'll never use Kohana. I will have to look more into Symfony, however, before I can accurately compare.

codeigniter is VERY fast, and it doesn't get in your way. codeigniter is commonly referred to as the Ruby on Rails for php by some.

While RoR is getting better in this respect, PHP is vastly better documented (both officially and all throughout the web) and the community is (at least, for now) superior to RoR. This is something that simply requires more time for RoR, as

There are a lot of technical limitations for something like this. Flash is controlled by the browser, and most media embeds are flash; an extension would need to prevent the browser from killing the flash element on page away, which I am no

Start a company, something you feel passionate about. Another important thing: Have a balanced life. Focusing too much on one thing works great for a while, but it never lasts. You always need time to wrap your head around other problems or

But they do report news. Had they simply ignored it as it blew up, wouldn't it be more childish to not cover it? I think Arrington handled it rather professionally, and didn't sink to the lows that Calcanis has.

I think most, if not all, of the answers you get will be opinions. While clearly a unique domain would be ideal for identity, I think the SEO benefits are very little if any. Look at the number of successful services that give you just a si

2/3 of the reasons you mentioned are a result of idiots. and I'd wager that the other 1/3rd is probably somewhat related to idiocy too in some form.

With Wave getting the axe, I'm sure he could have easily moved on anywhere internally that he wanted to... If he really wanted something new, with a taste for social, Google, I'm sure, could have benefited from his talent in their latest so
