I think this is misleading. It's true that there's a mobile shift in _startup_. Most startups want to hit the mobile goldmine and become the next [enter a company here]. However, we fail to understand that those important minutes spent are

Very cool stuff. However, it would have been cool if they included font-stretching so you can manipulate glyphs.

I get it now. You also could use [object class] instead of an arbitrary static pointer. I never had issue with a class and a subclass using the same observer keypath. Whenever I use it I always call super to make sure everything underneath

Yeah, I'm sorry. I first entered a comment saying that the website was down due to "Error establishing a database connection" and I saw your comment and decided to comment on it. I then forgot to say I couldn't read the post since the site

I have used KVO for quite some times and I've never had to add a context to it. This could be because I don't see the benefit of adding such context. Would you have any example to show the use of context? I've always wondered why I should u

Very nice work. Love the details and the slider screen is a nice touch. Those iPhones in CSS are becoming more and more popular;) I made this 4 weeks ago, it's pretty much the same thing, but done differently. http://pothibo.github.com/iPh

One of the best article I've read on TechCrunch since it got sold and everyone jumped ship. This is in line with "The Lean Startup" from Eric Ries. It's Lean Startup for people who succeed in raising money

I love this Heather Peters. She's one clever lady that just hacked the judiciary procedures in a novel way. Impressive EDIT: I see many other claims that could go through the small claims, one thing that does come to mind however, is it pos

With everything node.js provides, I can't understand why someone would use eval()... Specially with user input.

Today is full of irony. This morning Adobe announced that they were shutting down Flash for mobile (vendor lock-in): Everyone praising. This afternoon, we have Parse that raises 5.5M$ (More vendor lock-in): Most people praising. To me, Pars

I do believe that if you understand C, you can become a better programmer on those higher level languages. However, this is like everything in life, you don't need to master C, or Javascript, or as the saying goes: "Too much is like not eno

I was thinking the same thing. Also, some of her concern is just stuff you need to get used to. I bet she's the first one to complaint when _any_ web services updates their layout.

And my answer to that question is, if you give information about yourself to any service you have to expect them to do something eventually with it. Even if it's yours, it becomes theirs as well as soon as you upload it to the 3rd party.

You are obviously missing the point but let me humor you: When you access a bank you are publicly trading the information between you and the bank. That means that if somebody on your LAN sniff your cookies (and SSL wouldn't be used) you co

I liked how you guys present some of the stuff you create. However, I'm not a huge fan of star rating. I know it's in use everywhere but I feel that it's such a flawed rating system that we need to think twice before using star ratings. I

I loved the Diaspora* Project when it started but it seems to be too technically-focussed to ever be mainstream. And I don't know, Social networks need to be social.

Well it makes sense to tech-savvy people since they know that the other services exist. Ask your mum and your aunt to name 5 other service other than YouTube and Facebook... They probably won't even be able to name 1.

I'm well aware of that. But I think that's ridiculous, it's Internet, not your house. Even though people nowadays seem to think that you have privacy on the Internet, you don't. Do you go to jail if you open another phone in your house whil

I think Facebook is a great place to get people to talk about you. But it's not something that you can monetize easily. If you base your marketing campaign solely on Facebook, you might find it not effective. However, I think that facebook
