Hey Jake,

I think either plugging webRTC or making it clear that the service doesn't require plugins like Flash or Java is definitely very valuable.

I agree, it is fun!

No about page - Darn.

I had to go to their twitter to see that it was WebRTC based. - Darn.

Markets itself as peer to peer and requires signup on a central service. - Not really but ok, sure, WebRTC is P2P when it's not using TURN servers in bad NAT situations.

Not open source - Okay that's fine.

No explanation of how they plan to make money. - Am I the product?

The main image on the splash screen is some people who apparently decided to meet at a bar instead use their app. - I guess it's for atmosphere.

Sadly no option for a 16GB RAM version.

`.unwrap()` is used in these examples to avoid having to include code to handle errors. I'd much rather see `.unwrap()` then NullPointerException popping up whereever.

In "real" Rust code we have several ways of dealing with possible errors and "None" results.

`.to_string()` tells the compiler to use a `String` which owns it's memory instead of a `&str` which is doesn't own it's...

Oh wait, reading your comment you're trolling.

Yes, the example uses callbacks, sure, but the point was intended to be that not everything is callback based, like in Node, you can use it where it's appropriate.

It was a challenge to come up with a good example for the section without utilizing too much of a language that is unfamiliar to most of the readers. I'm debating changing it to a string parsing example. Do you think it would be more appropriate of a use? Or is there a better concept to demonstrate?

Tossed an email to my AppleCare contact expressing my frustration... You should too if you have one!

Any chance that Gitter will be on github so we can help out with it?

Your source is terribly written (grammar and spelling mistakes abound) and is blatantly bias towards Apple.

There are mixed messages about the user counts... 3.4 million is much different than 400 million.

Also not OP, but on my 2012 Macbook Air I had to turn off the maps preview because it was making my machine very warm, reached over 98C before I switched it off. Only took a minute. I was very disappointed.

Then we all get stuck supporting both until its universally adopted (you know how some people still use XP?)

It is a noble desire though.

Koding looks interesting, however my interest in the project died after waiting several months to get into the beta but hearing nothing and seeing no changes to their site. I'd still love to try it though, but I won't hold my breathe.

Good article, interesting site, terrible choice in background. Every time I scroll it flickers due to the pattern.

He was talking about Vagrant (the tool CoreOS uses to distribute VM images)...

Also, I think you can just make a directory in the `~/vagrant.d/boxes/coreos` folder called "vmware" and copy over the vagrant file, box.ovf and the metadata.json. Then you just edit the metadata to have a vmware provider and the box.ovf to reference "../virtualbox/<<theimage>>"

I however do not have a vagrant vmware license and cannot test this theory.

Posting a link for a Facebook post that also requires login (at least on my mobile)? Seriously?

I got to know Landley fairly well on IRC over a course of a few months, he was a really clever fellow. At the time Toybox was just in it's infancy, glad to see it maturing.
