A nice trip to kuler would probably spruce it up a bit (for new users). I've always liked the idleFingers theme for Textmate. I think one of the reasons your theme works so well is that it's not so high-contrast, which is better for the ref

I don't know many non-developers using Android that have ever downloaded an application, let alone set up their email. I don't know many non-developers using iOS that don't have a favorite app. But yes, I am seeing a ton of people getting A

Your argument is completely valid for this community, people who like to go off the reservation and run their own applications, code and OS. However, the big draw of an iPhone is that it is a managed device, not a full-fledged computer+ph

Well, they can always just twitter their current IP... And if their servers are shut down, create checksummed files released into the bittorrent cloud. Eventually this will either end sanely, or in another Great Firewall.

I'd say it's similar to the use of a mousedown to block a right click dialog. Sure, some idiots use it to disable right click, but a lot of applications (See: about everything Google's done) use it very well for creating in-app contextual m

Definitely. What would you like to know? I would say the recruiter is the only reason I have a job currently. She has a very strong relationship with my employer’s parent corporation, and that got me past the tide of people who spam inboxes

I was unemployed for a full year and a week (post college). During that time I sent out over 300 résumés, and applied to around 100 online systems. This ranged from front-end jobs (what I’m at currently) and design jobs, all the way down to

Possibly a small sludge pond that would filter the water through as per a sewage treatment plant? I'm thinking that if it's in the wells, it's due to the solvent action of water on the rocks, and cleaning out the wells would only be a tempo

Interesting that he's warming to the console model that iOS derived from PS and Xbox. It sounds like there's a space for something like Steamworks to exist on Android--this is one area where fragmentation isn't just a vacant slur.

24ways has been around since 2005, so I'm assuming this is inspired by. It's an interesting curatorial technique, and I'm happy to see it used elsewhere.

She's an order of magnitude faster in developing HTML+CSS than anyone else I've met, and I've worked with some extremely talented people. It's not a gender issue, just happens that a lot of talented developers I've met have been women.
