Are you hard of reading? That was my whole effing point.
chico_dusty··on Disruptive
That was my point in the first place.

New iPads don't show up for free in Windows Update.

Why yes. Apple makes way more money via yearly must-have-for-some-reason updates than they do if people keep their pads for years.
chico_dusty··on Kondoot to take on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus with video
Know what, video means I have to put on a shirt and comb the cereal crumbs out of my beard. Who wants to make that effort? I'm using a computer so I don't have to.
chico_dusty··on Spin.js, a pure JS spinner
I'm not so sure I wanna use anything from a site which claims I'm using a buggy version of Chrome that they don't support.

Especially not as I'm actually using Safari 5.1.

chico_dusty··on Think Twice Before Installing Any Chrome Extension
So you figure Chrome should only be used by neckbeards capable of understanding the source?
chico_dusty··on Europe's hottest startup capitals
Say what? Moscow is most definitely European. It's located something like 850 miles west of the Urals.
chico_dusty··on 2011 Rubyist’s guide to a Mac OS X development environment
Yeah, bbedit has tons of ways of running scripts and stuff. It just sucks at editing text. It doesn't know how to indent code, or even format stuff like bulleted lists in plain text.

That's the problem with Mac editors, they have fancy sidebars and think opening a directory of files or running a Unix pile is hot stuff, but they're not much better than a text box in Safari at actually editing text.

chico_dusty··on 2011 Rubyist’s guide to a Mac OS X development environment
Just too bad 2011 OS X is hurting even more than ever for a competent programmers editor. TextMate is dying by inches and it never really had the powers of the Unix ones anyway. As for BBedit, it's pretty much a HTML editor with syntax highlighting for some other things. You might as well use Dashcode.

Yeah, Emacs blah Vim bleh, but those are not really OS X editors. I do be using Emacs, but I crave real Mac-iness and integration.
