CSS beats graphics because it can be changed programatically. Browser supporting, _all_ the parameters can be changed to suit the rest of the UI. If the designer writes their CSS in browser like I do, it's instantaneous and immensely powerf

Same reaction here. Actually made me remove a filter I had to trash all chats. Saving, resources allowing, from here on out.

And that the question randomizes pretty well. Otherwise posts could be automated.

Wondering how this will stack up to emdee.app (still in development). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foE-dXgTHoU

Fair enough, but I think you'd appreciate the point more if you were imagining Zork instead of Linux.

I'd assume this is doing that, people just don't know it.

That tweet frustrates the hell out of me. Am I wrong to read "tech geniuses" as kind of condescending?

Phenomenon itself isn't new, but surely rate of incidence is, right? However meaningless it all is.

Is this a testament to the innovation of the Hotmail team or the non-savvy of its userbase? Honest question.

I understand the sentiment and don't use it on personal sites. For apps, though, I don't quite have the confidence that my users will know to open external links in new tabs.

Maybe, but not successfully. Important distinction.

This is the perfect wrong answer to a thought experiment.

I wonder how many LaunchRock teasers are placeholders for actual apps vs "idea people" just testing the waters...

Ugh, I hate what these instant-private-beta scripts have done to the web app landscape. I know this one is a joke and I appreciate that, but it's frustrating that my legitimate app may be losing potential users because they're burned out by

Might be a moot point for this app, since it only _appends_ arbitrary CSS and doesn't modify the existing. That's a good question, though. I bet the WordPress GPL decision might have some relevance to it.

Well done! I'd be ears to a writeup on how you did it: tech considerations, Ajax, etc. Super minor nits: Missing characters https://skitch.com/rocktronica/rs5nx/csspivot1 External scripts/CSS brought in with "//" falsely prepended with UR

I didn't know it was possible to switch. I'd be interested to hear about the process you took and the outcomes and side effects from it (pros, cons, etc).

The artificial scarcity on beta apps is understood but unavoidable, if that's the route the app makers are going. Telling me to bother my friends before I can watch a video that I can get w/ a quick Google search or view-source is another m
