But we're an inspiration company. And what greater inspiration for knowledge is there than properly-gathered statistics? All I'm saying is that you guys could do a lot of interesting things if you relied more on well-selected samples over

I remember when colourlovers.com came out with a similar post a few months back and I said something like this: http://www.colourlovers.com/business/blog/2010/10/26/color-o... And so while this is still a nice, shiny piece of infographic

From a personal perspective, I find it highly impressive that their dev team can get stuff pushed out that quickly. Please don't get me wrong in that respect. But what you and I think is cool and impressive matters very little in a highly c

Sure I recognize that, and I see it as a highly valid point. But if it is in Microsoft's interests to maintain enterprise users, I don't quite see why it must be done at the expense of the non-enterprise users. Please call me out if my naïv

In all fairness to Microsoft, the last IE9 beta was released on 2010-09-15: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/info/downloads/Default.htm... I wonder if he has the same issues with the latest platform preview (which came out nearly two mon

I greatly dislike how the NYT hijacks my browser's text selection. I'd much rather be able to right click the selected text and search for it on Google than have that silly word lookup hover.

I think there's a lot of quality in your comment, but I think you're making a whole bunch of broad, generalized assumptions about the state of the entire SO community. In my experience, it's still a highly-functional community with a wide r

Cool, I suppose. However, it doesn't really seem to matter that the wifi hotspot used to be / still is a telephone booth. They could've put the router on anything and achieved the same effect.

I code in as3, php, and js as well. What's your opinion of PHP open source frameworks like CodeIgniter, Kohana, and Symfony? Or perhaps, to take a language that I don't code in but is often lauded, RoR? Or, on the JS side, have you seen thi

I don't really understand people's complaints on this issue. How could you not prefer to have hundreds of images on one page instead of clicking for the next page over and over? It's the difference between a mousewheel scroll and click/scro

Thanks jscore! We're in the process of a redesign that will greatly simplify the whole thing, but I will see what I can do in the short term to make it more obvious what we sell. Thanks again :-]
