Nice to see this here! I'm one of the devs so more than happy to answer any questions.

I think the obnoxious part is not being entirely upfront and clear about what you're looking to do. Sencha make no secret of the fact they're a business, with Meteor you need to infer it from a vaguely worded FAQ point and the licence type.

I'd love to see this open sourced! It'd make a wonderful companion to the great open mapping work being done my Open Street Map and is exactly the kind of thing a community can build on and refine for the good of all.

IBM's Many Bills ( http://manybills.researchlabs.ibm.com/ ) did much of what you're suggesting. The problem is making people interested and engaged enough to use these tools and push their congresscritters to act in the interest of their co

Wouldn't happen to be a Flash dev would you? I do not want the core technologies on which the web is built owned or controlled by any one company. No matter how you look at it Dart is not a standard, it's not controlled or directed by any o

Sorry but it's been more like Google: Hey everyone, we have decided the future, here it is, get used to it. Community: Maybe you should get behind Harmony instead of secretly building replacements to the building blocks of the web and issui

Without a doubt prepared in advance - you'd be incompetent as a news org not to do so. It's still however a fantastically put together thing and to have no ads in there whatsoever is quite a dedication.

Oh please, the advertising profiles I've seen are only a half-notch above pure entropy. They're about as accurate as the kind of rubbish you see from sentiment analysis on tweets.

Seconding this - Sproutcore 2 is such a different beast to 1.0 it's a pity they share a name. There's a number of concepts, particularly around handling cascades of DOM updates in there that are far more advanced that you'd have to write yo

Why does a text editor and a renderer with a fraction of the complexity of a browser engine require 10.7?

It's always helpful when clients give unambiguous signs of unreasonable insanity upfront instead of hiding it until you're halfway through the project. It makes running away as far and fast as humanly possible so much easier.

The real competition to Backbone in this space in my mind is Sproutcore 2. At its core it's lightweight enough to be a drop-in replacement but has a vastly more sophisticated approach to handling dom updates, cascades of updates, data bindi

I'm starting to think that much like Quora, AirBnB worked because of the nature of its early members and that the model simply doesn't scale.

I agree on the large CSS issue, the problem is one of naming rather than one of utility. The tool is of use to a small audience, JSLint is of use to anyone writing really any JS.

JSLint is opinionated but it's hard to argue that anything in there isn't a good idea, even if it isn't necessary. CSSLint is just opinionated.

Unlike Polymaps this also supports IE6 & 7 which is a big win for orgs that have to support a wide range of browsers.

Fake anti-virus software, counterfeit pharmacies, counterfeit products in general, malware of all sorts. Google have been taking their money for years. They have the resources not to. That's pretty shitty behaviour that endangers their user

I doubt there's a legal issue here, just grubby, low-brow behaviour, which is basically par for the course for Facebook.

Because the iphone uses accelerometers and other sensors to work out when the phone is even near your ear when on a call and disbles the screen, both saving battery and disabling input.

This isn't meant to stand up to scrutiny (as has already been pointed out). What it is meant to do is generate cred for Diesel, the fashion label gunning for a rebellious image that created (or more accurately paid for the creation of) this

This also means they're dropping IE8, which generally is considere to have largest market share at the moment when IE10 comes out, which is already in Beta.

The thing that amuses me is the more Facebook attempts to become the monolithic center of identity online, the more people I know have multiple accounts or simply stop using it altogether. Of late I keep hearing of people setting up 'throw
