I have come across a need for this many times, often there's a simple trick you can do to get by it (i.e. setting an image as a background of an input element, rather than overlaying the image on top, or using transparent backgrounds along

This is a big flaw with a hopefully simple fix. Such a small thing ruined an otherwise pleasant experience. Great job, there is definitely a need for this and it works pretty well. Edit: with the breadcrumb and icon/file switcher views, you

The problem with Facebook is that your network is too small and constricted, people want to expand and reach many many people, not stay limited within their circle. Think about it, you already talk to most of the people who are your closest

It is going quite slow for me. All three tools. Usually ajaxwhois.com and instantdomainsearch.com are completely instantaneous when I use those tools.

I answered no, but sometimes I drink alcohol during marathon coding sessions to make sure I don't stay up all night and also for fun. It always seems to help me program actually.

Looked like one of those fake ad landing pages at first glance. I think the reason for this is that there is a lot of whitespace (maybe off-white would work better) and the header text isn't stylized. Additionally the slogan "Watching Web V

Couldn't quite figure out how to use the tool, but it did manage to create a pretty rad 3D version of my site (using the "Both" setting and varying font sizes on each). I'll probably have another go when I've got less homework.

Great news, my suggestion: ditch the "time calculated" info on Wolfram results. I personally don't care that something was "Computed by Wolfram|Alpha at Mon Apr 18 2011 19:31:47 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)" Just "Computed by Wolfram|Al

I've never had a problem with Gmail search and I'm surprised the article writes about 20+ second search times as if it's a common and widespread issue.

Bummer! I'm assuming you didn't set up any "one-click" option, and if that's the case they should go the Amazon route and only enable One-click if you say so first.

For anyone that can't tell what the site is about at first glance: it's a collection of word-based games (think text twist) and every time you guess/figure out some word correctly, a search to Bing is fired off in a separate frame. The reas

It's mostly explained in the "about", but I have a habit of making most of my CSS changes inline in my HTML, so I use a lot of style attributes. This is usually "bad form", and I always tell myself I'll just move it all over to an external
