Assuming the author/OP isn't trolling, I think he's confusing "current city", "hometown", "location" and other such fields with the user's actual current location. The first three, when implemented as free text fields, are rarely updated by

Nothing there, I'm afraid. That is, unless they're intercepting Google searches for the decoded phrase, in which case, hello! Feel free to check out my resume, which you can find in my Documents folder, and I look forward to hearing from yo

Kickstarter's limited rewards serve this purpose: discounted first year subscriptions, tote bags, stickers - the usual. It's a common strategy because initial momentum is so crucial for crowdfunding efforts. Good luck, and get some sleep!

Why aren't you offering an incentive to early backers? I can't see any reason to donate now, or within the 30 days, rather than wait and see how things develop.

Looking at the link, it seems that only those apps using the latest version of Dropbox's SDK (1.2) are being rejected, for violating Apple's long-standing platform policies. Dropbox has since released a version of their SDK without the offe

Whoa - I was looking for a hyphenation and join-back tool earlier today, and couldn't find anything even remotely useful. Scribd has a pretty good record of contributing to open source: any chance you'd make that component available? Altern

Not as high as many other companies. They've acquired 2 consumer-facing startups so far: CardMunch, which they rebranded and re-released, and Connected, which they've kept going without any changes.

Your comment is self-absorbed, unhelpful, and wrong. I, for one, have long been looking for an easier way to prototype and test 3D interfaces for multidimensional data. It's hard to get meaningful feedback on a movie or a SketchUp model, an

Does anyone know how this works in practice? Are any measures taken to prevent someone from spray-painting a rogue QR code on the ground to reroute traffic?
