Font rendering is a big one for me. For some reason Ubuntu always looks.. ugly. The color scheme, font rendering, icons, etc, etc. Are there no designers in the open source community willing to help out? Or do the project leads not give a c

I saw this yesterday after their product launches and had to take a look at the source. I'm actually really excited about this. In Apple style they really made the presentation awesome. I had to do a double take because the video looked as

I think you're mistaking CitySourced for Clixtr (conference/social photo sharing). I don't think City Sourced is in the app store.

As a marketer, I can write (or at least identify) good copy. I like to think I have a grasp on what works and what doesn't. You can make a website that's both aesthetically pleasing AND converts well. Insane, right? I get where Andrew is co

.. which is what I was trying to explain to jws who called it a $30k ad buy. No, I do not want to run my own private exchange server. I want to use Rackspace hosted exchange to host 1 email address. A shared exchange server.
