Why don't they just give you the option to only play the video/audio when the tab is active? Facebook already auto-starts some videos only when they are in view, so the technology is available. If you want streaming audio, you jus

It seems to me like he would have quickly signed the agreement if it were, say, for 3 months salary. So his "I'll keep my self respect" morality argument seems a little weak. Like the joke goes, "We've already est

I really like the simplicity. Can you reverse the direction of one of the spirals? Or maybe slow down one to half-speed? (Maybe it would look better, maybe not.)

Looks very cool! Good job Troy! I'm not quite sure how the battles go down. You pick an attack method, and the # is subtracted from your opponents HP score (possibly x2), and then they do the same? What happens if they are still both

The anti-American rants on here are disgusting. Nobody's calling this a mistake except the media. 5 Al Qaeda dead, 5-10 people sitting next to an Al Qaeda member also dead. Intelligence even pointed out which 4 cars out of the 11 car

Officially, no it wasn't built to detect life. But there are cameras all over the thing. So if something is scurrying around leaving tracks or skeletons, we should be able to see that just fine. Or if it rolls up on a flower or a tre

It looks like maybe it's the fade to darkest black when it contrasts with the bright white background on the screen. It makes my pupils dilate or something. Maybe it's just me?

Microsoft's infographic is so bad that it is practically begging to be ridiculed or attacked. I would quote Sun Tsu here, but I don't think Microsoft is really much of a direct competitor to 37signals. So I think this is just th

Don't you think that maybe it's the other 99.9% of people that are "posturing"? Some people just rebel against the "norm" of using clothing to represent their socioeconomic status - money or no money.
