I wasn't aware of it before reading into this whole story, but OCZ seemed to have quite a problem with QA. My vertex 2 barely lasted a year before it started going funny, which I put down to bad luck. But now it seems I wasn't the only one.

Rich in bitcoins - yes. Rich in USD? Not yet.

Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless with brown switches for me. It's reasonably priced, looks lovely, and is brilliant to type on. That the keys come off for washing and brushing out the keyboard base is also a nice bonus.

tl;dr: Please buy us.

Having Google enter your space must be one of the most crushing things that can happen to a small company. The feeling these guys felt when they saw the announcement must have been mortifying. Even if you have a superior product, like LiveNinja says they have, Google will outmarket you by so many orders of magnitude you just disappear into nothingness.

Now that's a massive dealbreaker. That should be made more obvious.

I think that would be the real winner - locks when you walk away, unlocks when you return. So simple I'm surprised it doesn't already exist.

Would you mind carrying a portable battery about the same size as the phone that can recharge the phone via USB? (this is my solution)

Fortunately once we've sucked the earth dry of it's resources and die out ourselves, it should eventually recover.

My smoke alarm is connected to the mains electricity. No need for new batteries ever. Just a simple extension from the power outlets in the attic and down through the ceiling.

Could the screenshot on that iPhone look any more imposed?

Ground-up dried shit is some of the most expensive coffee!

(Of course I'm talking about Kopi Luwak)

Or they'll try and one-up each other, creating exaggeration.

Someone will get this up on github soon I'm sure.

It's actually a very good idea, but a service would have been much better suited to a few years ago when pages were more static and adding a contact form to a page was reasonably hard work for a designer with no programming experience. Nowadays you pretty much get one built in to Wordpress/any CMS/template/whatever.

"I don’t think I visit another site beginning with x"

Yeah yeah..!

Have you tried any one of the plethora of code-school type websites that'll teach you what you need to know over the web for a fraction of the time and cost? A degree will get you what you need to progress into employment, not necessarily what you need to become a technical founder.

What's the problem? His original tweet encourages his followers to "Get right into em!". Oh sorry, you want to whip up an online frenzy about a company AND use their services?

What was the app? Tweetadder or something?

I'd love it if Blackberry switched to Android. The top-end Bolds look great, and you just can't beat their keyboards for smashing out a length of text longer than a sentence.

It should be ordered alphabetically, with the colour of the block showing the difficulty or learning order (simple/compulsory = green, hard/niche = red).

I was going to say the same.

How we got 60k users in 60 hours: make something useful that people really want.

Can someone please explain what's wrong with going through the machine? If it means not having my balls squeezed, it sounds pretty good to me.

I just tried to swap in the new font-based glyphicon icons over the top of the old image based ones.

First of all it's not a clean swap, because the class name structure has changed. Secondly, the font glyphs seem to have totally random positioning, so depending on how you use them you'll need to tweak the css for each one (or certainly groups of them) so they align properly with the text/button/whatever.

I reverted, and dropped in Font Awesome. It was as simple as changing one line of css if you use the CDN, done. No tweaking required, and there's load more to choose from.

Agreed. Any company with enough employees to justify using this service can afford more than $10 a month.

I stand corrected. Thanks for making that clearer.

I don't think so. Perhaps I'm wrong but I thought that:

a) Google CAN read single-page JS based websites

b) Google doesn't like it if you treat the googlebot differently to a real browser. That's blackhat and you'll be penalised if they find out.

Why did you take it offline? It sounds like it was quite successful... was that not the case?

Was going to write exactly the same thing!

I'm gonna be that guy - I prefer the appearance of the blue version. Things stand out more, it's seems easier to parse. The grey looks all washed out and nothing really sticks outs. The layout of the right-hand panel is an improvement though, definitely.

I'm always hazardous when building something on someone else's infrastructure. If they can shut down your entire income stream "just because", that probably isn't a good situation to be in.

Or they only chose to do something about it once it was public domain.
