Also, reading through the dev documentation for this, "No user will ever see a t.co URL". All they are doing is wrapping the URL, not actually changing anything. All services that have their own URL's will be 100% fine.

An update was posted, 3rd party link shorteners are allowed. They will just have to compete. So, not a Digg-bar. Its what many users want-they put a long ugly link in, and then it gets shorter. Not the end of bit.ly. Why? Publishers want th

One small point, "Google Experience" refers to the OS installed, not who the device is made by. The Desire and Droid are both Google Experience devices-Those are the only devices that get access to all the Google API's and apps. Also, updat

+1 to clicky. The real time stats are a very nice addition to a solid suite of tools. My one gripe with them is they seem to do more processing of the data, rather than just letting you find the numbers you need. I am a data hound, so YMMV

As a coder, I would enjoy those problems. Maybe its a framing issue-if you frame the jobs as you did here, rather than "work for an SEO company", maybe that would help?

With balancing college and startup life, I have done almost the exact same thing with my girlfriend. We even use shared GCals to manage all this, so that either of us can see if the other if free

Web Dev work: Aptana Studio, Sequel Pro, Terminal (2x or 3x usually) HTTP Client (excellent little app for working with API's), all on Mac OSX and 2 screens, always.

I know on my STB, the list that the search returns is just the title of the show (for instance, 30 Rock). It gives me nothing more than the title, so I have to click around till I find the one that I want

This guy clearly didnt watch the demo or read the developer docs. And, I DO want a search based TV interface. I hate having to scroll through several screens to find the show that I want.

I am still a huge fan of the ubiquity project. Still love being able to invoke what is basically quicksilver in my browser.

I really dont think that many people are surprised by this. When Facebook launched their new API's, they did it hastily, and in a sudden move, rather than rolling them out slowly. In doing so, several things were borked, such as the dev for

I wish that all colleges had a room like your workshop room. Actually, I wish every building had one. Also, excellent idea on the phone booths, and the team rooms. Leave it to 37signals to come up with an amazing space like this.

As a developer who is taking on Android as his first mobile target, I have found that joining mailing lists for apps that are being group-developed helps a ton. Gina T (from lifehacker/smarterware) is starting a new app for her todo.txt ide

I doubt that some "social media people" can hurt you all that much. Above commenter was right, the worst is that no one uses it. Is this a full-time day job sort of thing, or an on-the-side thing? Also, by posting it on HN, you keep many of

I was referencing that correct file permissions, on a dedicated server, with a well-selected user (NOT admin) will do a LONG way in making it safer. Also, putting in the time to shore up the main holes is 100% worth it. Sure, there are hole

Agreed. Also, making small changes to some of the config helps too. This is why I laugh at people who know nothing about hosting, permissions, or php in general deciding that they know WP, put it on a shared box without doing the proper set

I wish there was a good model between Apple's app store, and Androids. It cant be totally open (because then you get apps that hack bank accounts), but too closed (see: Apple) and you run into really ironic issues, like the one Marco brings

Agreed. Storage, even big NAS, just does not do it for me anymore.

Looking at edges between users takes AMAZING database skills, and tons of people working on it to speed it up. Any new feature has to fit that, which is pretty crazy to do with the users, traffic, and data that they have. They also give a t

Minneapolis, MN. Strong community, plenty of funding, several datacenters and coworking spots. Hard to beat, IMHO (disclaimer: I am currently writing this while in an apartment in MPLS)

That makes several "bugs" in a week that are glaring privacy holes. Not much better than a "feature" in my opinion.

Been using Dropbox forever, got in on the Android beta the first night. This truly makes me realize how game changing this service is-now, without hacks or anything, I can have access to my whole filesystem from anywhere. The app itself is

I feel like a lot of people take the Ubuntu->Debian path. Its not unlike how people start playing with HTML, and end up coding in PHP a year later-you hit the limit of what it can do for you, what it can handle, and then you go for the
