I really like this, and I'm excited about the fact this was apparently developed "in house" rather than by some speculative design firm. Obviously it needs work, and a few design elements/features need tweaking - but it's a massive step in

Went to this last year, and was great fun. PROTIP: Bring a nerf gun :P

In fairness, I thought he did a pretty good job. Better than I would have expected for a CEO :D and some of the audience questions were pretty good too. I suspect he won't be going after Jimmy Fallon's job in 2020, though.

Thanks for posting the instructions. After doing this, it's easy to see that the tracking data is way off base quite a lot. And interestingly, places I visit a lot but never use my location for it has very few data points for. In fact, ther

I wonder if the non-owners think that it's merely a case of those who did buy one trying to justify their purchase. Those of us with one know that really isn't the case, but of course it's hard to convince someone to spend that much money o

I did the same with my late-2008 MBP. First time I don't feel that I need to upgrade 2 and a half years later. Hell, it's the first time I didn't want to upgrade after that long.

Isnt there a danger that someone else working on your code might not respect that rule (or dare I say it, but maybe you're in a rush one day) and you don't update the comment when you update the class. Now you've got comments saying in corr

The popularity of apps like hipstamatic, instagram etc. has somewhat mitigated the desperate need for high quality on these devices. If not in all demographics, i'd hazard a guess in those that would otherwise be most vocal about it.

I like the idea of the proxy, why not have it so you do a direct link and gumroad takes a small percentage (1%?), and if you want it proxied gumroad takes a bigger percentage (5%-10%)?

This is a really great idea... I'd love to see an RSS feed with each days albums with a simple format something like; <artist> <albumname> <spotifylink> I'm not sure how good the Spotify API is, but could you not als

You only really need to take credit for the work, I took from the article that you don't actually need to be very good. I for one am blending a bit of both. From a lower-middle class background and being content to be less than average at m

Because then they've been seen to be humble enough to have worked their way up from the bottom... so they can all feel like they've fairly got to the top of the company, and earned it too. The implication of this article is that the odds we

Apple want to keep their developers trim. This is a feature :)

I desperately hope that Apple make the home screen (along with better notifications) the primary focus of iOS 5. I first saw this very concept a while back now, and still think it looks amazing. I was under the impression you could get it v

I have Limechat on Mac & iPhone, which both connect to znc - so I'm "always connected". If someone mentions my name while I'm logged into znc, then znc-notifo pushes a message to notifo (which lets all my devices know. I'm pretty happy

US only strikes me as a weird condition, and taking the CC card to check seems suspicious to me. It's also a bit disappointing as I'm in the UK.

The vast majority of people I've met who code professionally DO NOT do any code outside of office hours? (excepting for the occasional overtime). I think those that code in their own hours, and read the blogs etc. to keep themselves up to d

In a group chat, I seem to be able to edit my previous messages OK - even if someone has replied already and if I've written something else since then.

I believe (though am likely wrong) that the *correction format originated in IRC, where you can't edit text once you've sent it... though I now see s/wrd/word/ quite often too - but that's mainly in technical rooms.

Perhaps, but those employees work for a company that was out of touch with the market. Something has/had to give. I think the move to WP7 may well be a savvy one (though I too would like to have seen a demo of it running), but can completel

I've been using this for a few weeks now, and can confirm it works like a charm.

I'm giving this a go, though I must admit it feels weird not to have the time to glance up to - so I'm not sure how long I'll last. Perhaps all those souls brave/stupid enough to try this should all meet back up in a week to discuss? :) We

Early adopters influence initial take up. Tumblr is way beyond this now. Once it's reached the high school kids, then it can't really be called "early" any more. They'll only move on once the service is no longer seen as cool, and the early

Much prefer your clean design, but I'd move the story icon to the whitespace under the author/submitter info on the left. Did you design a comment page too?

Most modern browsers (all but IE I believe) will let you round corners with CSS. An extra line or so of CSS is hardly much of a transfer overhead. I believe current thinking (on non-enterprise sites anyway) is to let the IE people have thei

Fair enough. If I could edit my first post, I'd change it to "Netflix of the UK is an apt description" Apologies to all you other Europeans.
