Love the colored numbers! Not a big fan of the title bar because maroon and black don't mix too well (at least on my screen).

In real world this isn't the case. First of all, when you're working on projects, you see that there are some things which you're doing over and over (like CRUD). Now at least in my opinion it is okay to create your first site by using mysq

A little off topic but somewhat relevant: When someone asked Larry Wall why there aren't any Perl certifications to classify the experts, he replied "I'm not going to tell people whether they're certified or not. My approach to language des

Is it just me or has the focus shifting from SOPA to GoDaddy (reddit too has the same trend). I'm as anti-GoDaddy as the next person but let's remember that calling your representative will help the cause more than punishing a domain regist

There are many sites on which you can find freelance work. Here are a few I've used myself to find freelance workers for odd jobs from time to time. Sites: 1) freelancer.com, elance.com, odesk.com, rentacoder.com, scriptlance.com, etc 2) f

If it comes to it, I'd rather just let him keep his 50% share as we've already agreed upon (for as long as the sites make money) and just go solo on the new sites. So while I know what I need to do, having my best friend at stake and his tr

How is gmail.com missing from this list? Before gmail you could hardly notice any email provider using XMLHTTP requests to load their mail, search, etc. It just my opinion, but to me it's always gmail which made it a normal-everyday-thing f

Actually, Apple certainly doesn't follow the do no evil thing much like Google does. If you have any instances of Google doing such malicious things like Apple is doing, I'd love to be informed (also will help remove my misgivings): http:/

I will agree with you on the patents, but as far as the security is concerned that's just security through obscurity, which isn't any better. As far as making money is concerned I don't see the reason why? Android has a good market-share, a

Google mantra of do no evil is at the heart of this success again. I really admire that they've kept it open source and not followed their competitors in creating ridiculous policies such as taking a cut of e-book sales, policing for adult

Perl is also an awesome language for web automation and testing, esp with WWW:Mechanize and LWP. Also the kind of freedom or strictness Perl offers to users is just unique. It's like slider on top. Building a website or project? then use st

ok thanks! still curious about the reasons why this hack is better than the one I've stated above? As I can see they're both using GET instead of PUT/DELETE and both adding extra parameters (one is using header, other is using request). Why

I don't know if there is a better way to do this, but when creating our own API we also added a $_GET['_method'] variable with 'GET|POST|PUT|DELETE' values. This was basically to override the HTTP request method. This gave us a lot of conve

Please think of India when you do. Paypal recently botched big-time in India (search paypal pan card) and there is a big hole that needs to be filled. We have a volume of about $500k and with Paypal failing us big time, we've ourselves been

I had a similar idea for a winamp/itunes plugin a while back. Basically it turns your mp3 playlist a plays the music video of it from YouTube. You can find more about it here: http://techcrunch.com/2008/09/27/songrefernce-turns-your-mp3...
