   ✓ Claims to be an HTML5 app ✓ Requires iOS for no apparent reason ✓ You must install to homescreen first, even if you are on iOS What does this do and why did you make the above decisions? EDIT: To get around this, open up your JS console

   Seems cool but I noticed a problem with Chrome on OSX (I assume this affects all browsers). The right scroll arrow is blocked by the page scroll bar: http://i.imgur.com/YfVUf.png It is very difficult/frustrating to click on that arrow.

   I am using a Galaxy Nexus. I was able to bring the loading times down to something reasonable but it isn't consistent. Out of 10 times, only 30 or 40 percent were < 5 seconds. There are anywhere from 5 to 10 articles at any given time o

   The app is still ridiculously slow for me on WiFi. Start up takes ~10 seconds to bring up the Facebook logo/splash screen. Then another 3 - 5 to bring up my feed and load the images. Scroll is laggy and there are only ~5 articles before I h

   Your site automatically played audio that was sexual in nature without any warning or indication. Why do you think this is a good idea?

    Yes. Confirmed working on Rogers in Canada. :D http://imgur.com/bkyWL It's not only faster than the HSPA speeds I was getting, but it's faster than my home internet connection from Telus. This is awesome. I had to add an apn with these se

    I would argue that http://htmldog.com/ or the MDN ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ ) are much better resources for even the newbie. Correct information always trumps easily accessible information. It isn't like the MDN is hard to na

    If I schedule an event that starts at 7:00pm and it is on the other side of town, Google Now will tell me that I need to leave at 6:15pm to make there on time.

    I understand the alternatives, but it is more the principle of the matter. I regard Quora as a more technical focused Experts Exchange; Slimy, and not really worth the effort.

    While I appreciate this extension, I think a better tactic would be to not visit Quora if you don't agree with the way the site is run. Between the blurred answers and the login prompt, I will never visit Quora, for any reason, ever.

    So what do I run now instead of Kismac, since it doesn't support anything > 10.7.2? Aircrack with some GUI frontend?

    PythonMagick ( http://www.imagemagick.org/download/python/ ) works in Python3. PIL with Python3 support is coming later, apparently.

    I never said these things were problems. I only brought them up because the article doesn't even mention them, or type safety at all. It is one thing to have code for an example or for an introductory paragraph, but it should be mentioned t

    I know you can use the empty interface but it hands off type checking to the runtime, which neglects the type system for a bit of generality and defeats the safety of having static typing in the first place.

    Your implementation breaks after 1 zoom increase. The OPs implement breaks after 4. Google Spreadsheet is the only implementation to get it right, as far as I can tell.

    I understand the distinction, but if you're going to target me with ads solely based on where my IP says I'm from, you might as well just scan my mail and give me relevant ads.
