Also, the point of HAML isn't just to make writing code faster, but to make it more maintainable as well. You lose that with Zen Coding.

Home and end are function-left/function-right, Page up/down are function up/down, and what you're calling "delete" (Apple calls it forward delete) is function-delete. This is how the whole line of Apple portables are... Not sure how those w

Can you really build flash apps for free? Honest question — I thought you needed to have Flash. If you do need Flash, you have things backwards. For one, he's talking about web apps, not iPhone OS apps. Web apps are entirely open and Apple

That was taken on an iPhone. It happens in camera phones not because of a physical shutter, but because the entire frame isn't captured at once.

A couple thoughts to improve the home page: 1. There are a few typos you should fix if you want to seem credible. "Don't wory" should be "Don't worry," there's no period in the first sentence of the small text, and there is an extra space b

The whole premise is off base. Neither one has to "win." Each model has its own strengths and weaknesses, and each will continue to thrive and be used for its own purposes. Also, the word "mobile" is overused and is pretty much BS. It's ine

MongoDB is great. I use it and often vote up stories pertaining to it, but this doesn't seem to be newsworthy to me. It doesn't provide any use to people who don't use MongoDB — even if they are curious about it or interested in using it —

Why's that? You don't think that they would be interested in having records of email correspondence? It's not unreasonable that people running a site like gizmodo would run their own mail servers to increase privacy. Even if it wasn't a mai

My point with IE is that a lot of content providers don't want to use something that everyone doesn't have access to out of the box. Yes, people can install the codec, but for websites to start using it in a widespread manner it would help

"...indisputably superior to H.264" Is that really the case? Indisputably? I'd like to learn more about that. Also, even if VP8 takes over Ogg Theora's position as a competitor to H.264 as a web standard, it will still face some problems. O

I don't have hackintosh experience but here are my thoughts. - The trackpad. You won't be able to use gestures and multi-touch features. Especially if you use some software that lets you add custom multi-touch gestures, it's really nice to

No, RAM and hard drive installs are almost always considered user-replaceable parts. I believe the exception to this is replacing the HD in iMacs, where you have to take the screen off.

If Apple waited until they needed something like this, it would already be too late. That's why they are doing it now. It's not that WebKit isn't good enough as is, they just want to make it that much better.

My main problem with your comment was that in your anger you seemed to be acting pretty immaturely about the situation. I'm sorry for being harsh. Yes, I'm sure it sucks. Your project is collateral damage from Apple's efforts to thwart Adob

"your dumbass platform with kiddie languages." That's ironic. Objective-C, C, and C++ are kiddie languages? I seriously doubt that there will be any sort of exodus away from iPhone development because of this. Apple provides some awesome de

This article seems like it belongs on some sleazy askmen.com type of site rather than the WSJ. There are a number of things wrong with the logic here. These are sweeping generalizations that in my experience don't come close to reality. If

Interesting, but I think this is missing a lot of the reasons Jazz isn't popular. Lyrics are a part of it sure, but that's just on the surface of the issue. He talks a lot about listening to music, but I like to make a big distinction bet

This is pretty cool, I've been working on a similar MacRuby app that I use myself. I used to use some AppleScripts for moving windows to a specific position. The tiling is great, but I would also like to be able to instantly move a single w

Sounds like the problem is more that the same password is used in multiple places. If you use the same password on a bunch of websites you can be almost certain that it could be easily compromised somewhere along the line. If you don't use

This is really awesome. One thing that I think could be done better would be to display the BPM Deviation by percentage instead of a hard tempo. This is especially important when there is ambiguity over what the tempo actually is. Is this s

It's also important to consider in any given song if they were trying to stay exactly steady. How much fluidity of tempo is intentional? It's a shame that most music these days doesn't even consider using changing tempo as a tool. Music is
