Ah, I didn't know that MSN did that. But the point I was trying to make is that if they say not enough people are using it that means it's not financially viable to keep operating (see: Google Reader).

Don't be surprised if Google Talk goes away. What's it to them if they can't sell you ads while you chat?

The jsfiddle style looks good, but how does that work with multiple files on the page? Do you select the files you want to work with? Not sure if it's possible, but I think it'd be cool to highlight which lines have been live edited. One bi

I have all of the Reeder apps (iPhone, iPad, Mac) and I'm heavily invested in this app's future. So, I guess I'm just waiting to see what is coming. I'd go with Fever but Reeder only syncs with them on the iPhone only .

The two things that I'd want to see are a Network tab and a better way to edit the HTML. Adding to the HTML is a must-have in my opinion, not just editing what's already there.

I was okay with this until the third paragraph.

They've only turned a profit once since going public and the stock is down over 75% since then. Should have taken the $6 billion buyout from Google when they had the chance. Honestly, it all doesn't really matter after their IPO revealed bo

I ditched this service when they paused ads while I muted.

It's not a bait and switch - that's hyperbole at its finest. It's just something you don't like that you weren't notified about but still optional .

It's a cop-out to call Google an engineering company like they are still the small company that is just a search engine. If they want to be a consumer electronics company, they should probably start acting like one and have actual humans de

Ugh. Being from Alabama, this is just sad. But, I guess unsurprising given the majority demographic here. I really hope this election can help move this area of the country forward because this kind of attitude has never helped the South.

It's pretty incredible how far language-to-language technologies have come and how far they still have to go. Very cool stuff.

This is good, I guess? I have never understood (even when I was a Windows user) why they locked most of their browser upgrades to the OS. This is perhaps the greatest reason why their market share falls every year.

It's "commonplace" after Apple started using it.

If you don't want to wait for the DOMReady event, you can always write it like so: (function($) { // $() will work as an alias for jQuery() inside of this function })(jQuery);

Here's a good summary of what's great about .ready(): http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Introducing_$%28document%29... Basically, this is what makes it so great: Everything that you stick inside its brackets is ready to go at the earliest

.ready() is actually pretty smart and a lot faster than most people give it credit for.

No, the context is irrelevant here because Techcrunch got it right. It's a direct quote.

Neil deGrasse Tyson was asked this very same question and he basically said: scientists are not interested in politics. They are interested in their field because they spend years going to school to learn and want to do research. Politics i

And I think it's great. It solves a lot of problems with navigation on mobile by giving you a near-screenfull (or more) to work with.

Yeah, I tried that but it would never install (kept trying to connect to the update server). I went to the website to manually download and that's when I noticed it wasn't updated.

I think freemium is a great model if you can find the right mix of bringing in new users as well as upgrading existing users. Some are going to stick with free forever as long as it fills their needs. However, some are going to use it so m

If something has 1000 ratings but is only 3.5 stars whereas something with 1 rating and 5 stars, what does that say about the average? Not much. It just says there's more people to rate something and have an opinion about it. Getting peo
