It doesn't scroll to the top of the page when you tap the status bar. Hate when apps neglect to do that.

Riiiight. I guess that makes sense if one disregards the fact that the iPhone OS is by no means a standard in the cell phone arena. There is plenty of competition out there, unlike there was for x86, which would be a pillar for an antitrust

I have little interest in CSS3 or buttons to be honest, but appreciate the love for the details here. The detailed breakdown made me smile.

I would never have found this and appreciate you posting it. Fascinating, though I hope history will disagree with the message of this piece.

No. The price is exorbitant for what I would ever get out of it. People would not rather have this service than say, a new 42" HDTV and TiVo service.

I'm pretty sure Paypal does have recurring payments. I think they call it a subscription payment.

Well to be quite honest it's a bit slow and the design is basically nonexistent right now. Stuff like this shouldn't occur: http://prmanna.com/requests/list/1 I dig the idea though, but getting people to respect it will be a challenge.

Does anyone know what kind of revenue Skribit is getting these days? It would be interesting to know how the business has done in the last year or so since he's graduated and worked on it full time.

I'd be shocked at this. I'd understand not differentiating EE and CompE, but not CS.

This article accomplishes nothing more than saying "Hey guys, I understand both viewpoints." I wish I had my two minutes back.

Most, though some is now COTS, so C and others are employed as well.

Completely agree. I'd like to know how much they really need to actually sell these things for. iPod Touches go for, what, $500 less than an unlocked phone? This sucks. I'd love to have a 3G Android phone on ATT as well as my iPhone, just t

Looks like a garbage site updated every couple days with entertainment rubbish. And it has an auto-play video ad. Gosh, what a shame.

I disagree. The only Tumblr blogs I see are snippets usually consisting of artsy text-based graphics or camera phone pictures. And they don't allow comments. I just don't get it...

Meebo works for IM. Only a matter of time before there is a Skype webapp, I'd assume.

Forgive me, I read the article I just know little about BitTorrent. So people can still add torrents and they will work for others, it just uses a decentralized solution to find peers rather than asking TPB's tracker? So, nothing is really

I don't see the emphasis as a problem. The iPhone is a market leader and market leaders tend to get a lot of attention. Why should developers waste their time on other platforms if they aren't interested in them or don't feel there is enoug

Interesting reply. I have a couple of questions for you. 1. How do you get your clients? 2. Could you elaborate on "5-10k a year is much more common for niche apps with no marketing (what everyone seems to write)." I'm curious about your ap

My first reaction: "Well, I'm glad I don't work at a navigation software company today." Seems like a great product, would be fantastic if they port it to iPhone.

I've been following and waiting for the release of Boxcar 2.0 since it was mentioned on TechCrunch several weeks ago, glad to see it finally launched. I'm finally happy that I can have push Gmail, Twitter @replies, and Facebook updates. I'm

I'm a huge Pandora fan as well. For some reason one day I decided to quickly profess my love for them via email and actually got a response asking if I wanted a shirt or hat. This blew my mind, and I rock my Pandora baseball tee often as a

Emails are very slow to load on my iPhone, and my contacts still haven't synced. Kind of crappy really. EDIT: It updated my contacts and email seems to be working alright after about a half hour or so. I assume Google is just getting slamme

The point isn't that you had an exception to the rule in your pocket. The point is that these things are now, thankfully, mainstream and popular. Oh, and comparing the stylus touchscreens and the iPhone's capacitive touchscreen is kind of l

Absurd. I love how he randomly throws out a ridiculous number, $5-10 billion, but never breaks down the justification numerically.
