This sounds a lot like those "new economy" screeds in Wired back in the dotcom days.

Maybe so, but it's still gonna stick out like a sore thumb everywhere. Meaning annoyed users, meaning the app is never ever gonna become a buzz on blogs and shit, meaning low earnings.

> Rebel XSi, so quality is not a problem

Because the camera is all that matters, right?

So, how do you do that then? Some extension I assume?

Lots and lots and lots of sites fail because they depend on jquery hosted by google.

> - UTF8 came from Plan 9

Not really, Ken Thompson certainly contributed to it, but they didn't invent it.

> got it for my son and he rode it to school his senior year in high school

So, what was his weekly wedgie average?

Eagles on Pogo-sticks.

If you have a few options, then you don't rely on a single company, do you?

Well frankly, If you rely on some other business for such critical functionality, you deserve to lose.

The Chrome/Safari adblock has an extremely crap UI compared to Firefox adblock if you ever wanna add your own blocking rules.

> basically the new "interactive CDROM" you had some years ago.

And I still kind of think that was a solution in search of a problem. Are there any evidence that stuff like that helps learning?

Maybe this #newtwitter is just not going down several times a day. That'd sure be revolutionary.

I bet 99% of all people who might be interested in Blu-Ray does.

The no. 1 reason tumbler sucks: 1 original content site for every 1000 reposting shitheaps.

Also, people using it for posting info that would be much better presented in some other way. I'm looking at you safariextensions.tumblr.com, your site is pretty much worthless thanks to the decision to use tumblr.

Annoyingly busy. I sort of feel like this is a prime example why you don't put engineers in charge of UI. Just because we can is not a good enough reason to do it.

Also, having both a dropdown and a whole page refresh, what?

1024 bytes... and a 60 meg browser.

we should go back to that embedded shellscript thingy that was common back in the day. Its name escapes me.

To me it means not being in control of my own data.

Difference is, people die from bad science. No one does if a christmas tree is nomenclatured a holiday tree.

At the risk of sounding like an Apple apologist, I strongly suspect the content providers are the reason for the Apple TV's reliative lameness. I don't think it'll be possible to build a truly great settop box until the TV networks stop with their fantasy that if they're stubborn enough, things will go back to the way it was before the internet.

I suspect the fact that Ping seems to be engineered to be strictly top-down has more to do with it.

No one said they weren't allowed to make the jokes.

Yes, nothing like rape for a good chuckle.

People think it sounds kinda cool, and if Apple if secretive it must be good, right?

I'll tell you who: People who aren't sexually attracted to donkeys.

Wow, this sounds like the screed of a collage freshman who just discovered that the adult world is like, totally fake and shallow, man.

Answer: Twitter is broken.

Why do I get 20 odd javascript dialog popups from that page?

The policy outlined in the submission tip image seem pretty reasonable to me. With so many people building apps for iOS, one has to assume that some of them are malicious assholes.
