I haven't used it but had the Fat Secret site bookmarked for a while. They have an API here: http://platform.fatsecret.com/ Let us know how it looks once you try it.

Interesting, they claim they own a bunch of patents related to 802.11, does that mean they can sue every laptop manufacturer, and any other device that is wi-fi enabled next?

Why would apple be responsible? Last I checked they were using a separate radio processor chip from someone else (I believe Broadcomm), so wouldn't Broadcomm either have already negotiated the patent rights or ultimately be the one respons

One challenge I have with all these logins options is that it becomes hard to remember which provider you logged in with. We have an issue already with Facebook connect and standard Django auth of duplicate accounts for a single user being

First, a really good site to find available domain names is http://domai.nr/ They link to a bunch of registrars, but I do have the same question, which of those registrars are a reputable.

Doesn't gmail already allow me to do much of this without having to trust another company with all my email content. Plus nothing to download as its a iphone optimized web app and nothing to pay in the future(unlike the proposed $3.99 month

I don't believe any of these design once run on any platform frameworks will work without severe limitations, performance penalties. Maybe fine if you are implementing a relatively static app/site but then why not just implement a mobile we

Please... This isn't really new as Apple has been using this technique on the iPod line for years. The mini, nano, and shuffles all appear to be made with this technique. Additionally, the biggest issue with using a single piece of aluminu
