This is silly. I'm not against funding projects through Kickstarter, but "If we hit $300k, Python will be the third language to be supported out of the gate." sounds almost like an ultimatum. What if they don't hit $300k? Will Ruby be the t

I thought that opening was really similar to Louis CK's $5 standup and that grape drink joke - that's Chappelle (around 1:50 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuTjQLfU6Gk ).

I had a similar incident with them a couple of years ago (I think they launched with the same $100 coupon deal?). As a result, I haven't considered them, or even went back to their site, ever since. So much for free hundred bucks.

> I set up 3 instances (two production and one staging) and thought I was a boss. [..] Lesson learned: don't use anything but Heroku until you have to. Did he really need 3 instances? Or even a separate staging environment?

Why use Flash for a site that's not even that.. flashy? Almost the exact same site could've be done in HTML and Javascript, except potential customers could view it on their iPads, for example.

I find it somehow ironic that there's a half-empty battery pictured on the features page, when electric car battery life is probably the top thing people are skeptical about – http://www.teslamotors.com/models/features

Just thinking – couldn't this be a temporary pre-launch solution because Apple's huge NC data center isn't fully operational yet?

I was surprised about the symbol as well. It's just a matter of time until someone gets hurt while trying to connect their peripherals to a transformer.

When you're really used to work with some IDE (let's say you've been writing PHP in NetBeans for years, use a lot of keyboard shortcuts, etc), then the thought of leaving it and switching to some other editor to work on a RoR project is not

Dunno.. perceived quality? I (as an Android user) really hope that devs will focus on Android app quality. Currently, most of them feel like ports or something..

Definitely needs a location filter and/or location displayed in the list view (like 37signals job board does). Sometimes you just can't use a filter – for example, being in Europe I would be willing to relocate to London or Berlin, but Seat

How ironic – an article about "web scale" and a "503 Service Unavailable No server is available to handle this request." error when I try to open the link :) (I'm certain that Mongo DB is not the one to blame though)

I agree with most of the article, but this – "But in the time he has booted to his Desktop I've already answered 3 emails [..] Vanity slows you down, whether its your choice of VM, OS (read: OSX or Windows) or anything else". – is hardly an

> it wouldn't accept MMS or SMS with non-English characters in 2010 That's odd. I used receive and send text messages in Latvian and Russian all the time and so do all of my friends. You should try to reinstall the iOS. Back to the flam

Ubuntu.com could use some work. "What's new?" link on the front or tour/product pages would be a good start, even if it's a LTS release.

Ray Kroc, Jeff Bezos and others are, of course, extremely successful, but these are more than a decade old examples. Anyone aware of more recent cases? I'm not doubting quantity/quality of the "modern" cases, I just can't recall any at the
