Yup. They sell them on Amazon too but they are significantly cheaper at JR... the UL30VT that is.

Yup. My curiosity that led to this thread was if the ante has been stepped up now with that 150k investment and the natural evolution of the ycom program. Also it would just be nice to see in general. Hopefully some people will answer :)

Macbooks are great dev machines. I am also a huge fan of the ASUS UL30VT, which runs Ubuntu smooth as butter and about $500 cheaper! I own both machines. Check JR if you're interested in the ASUS.

I'll start. 1. I applied in Winter 2010 with a published site that had been around for 6 months already, 1500 users. Solo founder with 1 remote developer. 2. No.

The only explanation needed is a fact. Linus Torvalds made git. Sold? :)

I clearly remember my technical screening with facebook back in 2008. We did live code (similar to etherpad) and he asked me to write out a explode() function, and to write a Person object that held an array of friends, and to write a simpl

I'm surprised they are still 3 engineers. They have been posting jobs for almost a year now and still haven't hired anyone, yet they keep saying in blogs and the job section they want to hire. I understanding waiting for the "best" yet at t

I agree with this. The way they single out "Chinese" is very immature. They even said they paid to have proper certification in the U.S., well who did you pay because while your manufacturer may have shipped a bad product, your QC dept clea

Cool! FYI there is something wrong with the fadeIn/fadeOut of the header (try editing the doc name and moving the mouse). Looks like whatever event you are listening to may need an extra conditional.

Wait, they are trying to patent tabs and hiding search results? You can seriously do that? Isn't that a little broad?

Nice thanks. Might I suggest you make the compare chart more accessible. Even now knowing it exists I took another pass through the site to see how I overlooked it and I still can't figure out how to navigate to it. edit: Finally found it a

A couple questions: 1. Can anyone compare WakeMakes with that clock thing that tracks your eye movement by wearing an eyemask? The name of the clock escapes me at the moment, will edit this post once I remember. edit: it's called Zeo 2. If

Wow please put a NSFW tag on this. I went to it and was hit with a picture of a sliced up decaying corpse.

I'm reading comments on this app on other blog sites and people say things like "translations suck", "not worth your time". Times like this remind me how ridiculous consumer expectations can be. People still don't get that product developme

After reading the blurb about gymnastics I realized that this was the Jason used to compete with me back in high school over on the East Coast. Times like this reminds me how small the world is!

What version of Chrome do you run? I still can't get "border-radius" to work in Chrome. That being said I still shove that -webkit tag everywhere.

Good idea to simplify things but just side-stepping around the issue and delaying the reality that it really isn't this easy. You're eventually going to have to get dirty if you really want to do anything -- configure ruby, install gems, le

From the application site: "On November 2, we'll invite the groups that seem most promising to meet us in Mountain View on the weekend of November 18-21. We'll reimburse up to $600 per group for travel expenses." Seems like the news will co

Can you describe your experience with backbone? Now that you have built an app with it, do you recommend it? Or perhaps wait till it matures a little?

Why the downvote? Fact is this guy made something that, even if he didn't take into account all the spam controls, tried to better something. Cut him some slack...?

My thoughts exactly, I had no idea that that was the intention of that question especially since it had no context.

Actually I did something like araneae stated, I started hiding my transcripts in high school and college to avoid drama between my folks because I was NOT a good student -- the formal education system wasn't for me. There was even one point
