I'll second my vote for DNSimple. We were using GoDaddy before and we had an issue where they were returning faulty DNS records from certain hosts (which was such a pain to diagnose). After trying to deal with support at GoDaddy we were d

I've never thought about this before but it actually makes a lot of sense. I can think of countless times that I've highlighted a piece of text while reading an article in a browser just to use as a bookmark while scrolling around. Thanks f

I'd also highly recommend Thinking With Type. It's a very quick read (as most of the book is visual) and gives you a great foundation for understanding and designing with typography. http://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Type-2nd-revised-expanded

There's also one choice moment before this point where a developer is asking what Apple can do about getting beat up in the press and the stockmarket. For emphasis, in December of 1997 AAPL hit an 11-year low of $3.53 (split adjusted). Toda

1,900 in Seattle in a 3-month span is a huge number. Knowing that, perhaps they are spending an insane amount of developer time just interviewing more developers. There's also a forward fulfillment center in Bellevue which might count as Se

If you liked Maverick, you should definitely check out Seven Day Weekend by Semler. I found it much more readable and relevant. It's crazy that it's out of print in the era of the Kindle http://www.amazon.com/Seven-Day-Weekend-Changing-Wor

I second your thought. Nguyen has a crazy track record. He sold OneBox in 2000 for $850M (I realize that's insane-o bubble money), then started Seven (which is used by pretty much every carrier I can think of), and then sold LaLa to Apple f
