I have worked on multiple applications that use P2P networking, and the fundamental problem is this: Not all networks support the ability to P2P network, or, if they do, they require intervention by the user. So you have two issues: some u

Carl Sjogreen, who leads the platform PM team, commented that good changes are coming: http://www.sethcall.com/blog/2010/09/30/facebook-api-does-no... I am really quite pleased he took the time to address the post. Let's hope he can succ

You can't count how many ways Facebook wrongs developers. I had three more sections planned out, but said the heck with it, they've already taken so much of my time. You are totally right, though.

I tend to agree. I think some better documentation would do go a long way, though.

If you can agree that there is no way to safeguard the application secret key other than keeping it on a server (no matter how u try to bury it in the desktop application, it could be hacked no?), then you have to let your desktop applicati

A good summary of OAuth, but as the author, I assure you I do understand this key benefit of OAuth. Admittedly I didn't make a point of it, but there are alot of sites that do a good job of explaining this (as well as your comment). The is

Just the way it worked out. I had taken many screenshots along the way, but at the time I decided to write about my findings, I was in mid-refactor and had nothing that I could run. In hindsight, I should have used the real deal.

Actually that's no problem... The SWF in the article were two snapshots that I overlayed, one from Flash, one from Word, so it has no interactivity with the curser. Truth is, it's entirely possible to enable text selection, if that were a r

Actually, in some adhoc tests, it's control over character spacing is pretty bad. Firefox 3 has the best control--you can tweak character spacing at the sub-pixel level, but not for Safari or IE. Firefox also has very good default charac

The reason is simple: REST forbids a server being aware of client state. So practically, this means sessions are off limits; cookies for managing sessions are meaningless in such a world. To send an event to a client, though, means the ser
