hstore support should be nice. Thanks Rails team!

I saw this too and found it to be a bummer. Does it work with Gmail contacts if you log in?

I hope they'll integrate the local iOS address book with the next version.

This app is fantastic. And now I can finally upgrade to iOS 6. Thanks Google Maps team!

This has finally made me use collections appropriately, and man does it make things fast.

A better title might not include puerile memes like "Protip".

Am I missing it, or can anonymous gists no longer be claimed and deleted by the person that created them while still in the session?

Tying philosophy to usefulness in STEM disciplines is a terrible idea.

Reading Kant doesn't "too much respect for failed philosophical methods"--if you read him properly it helps teach solid thinking that might even lead you to reject some of what he says.

I only switched from t-mobile because my unlocked phone couldn't use 3G on their network. It'll be very, very tempting to go back if they have decent coverage these days.

It doesn't seem clear that unsubsidized iPhone can work in the US, but I guess we'll see.

Does one have to make the _yourusername_.github.com repo first for this to work? My understanding is that the Pages feature is only activated by doing this.

Since the picture is described as "inside a building designed to look like a Roman Colosseum", I think the viewer can probably figure that out.

It's really interesting that Bootstrap is becoming another layer of abstraction to be found in a lot of projects, like jQuery before it.

So far I'm pretty sure that's not a bad thing.

I host a few personal sites with them (and have apparently been paying more from the German site), and it's been fine.

Mail.app does this too, except that I keep using it accidentally.

Definitely prefer this to the default modal, which blacks out the screen around it. I'll have to run some tests to see if any version of IE can handle this.

I'm not sure why this is gifting "pirates" only. Doesn't this work for people who legitimately bought Windows 7 too?

I really wanted to like this, but Google is still tops for its location database. Maybe Nokia and the other non-Google players can band together to address this, because I don't see how anyone will catch up otherwise.

It's also strange to me that this is the case, because if they're using FedEX and UPS data you would think that would be a superior location data mining operation.

Nice design, but I don't see myself paying for it.

I was really pretty pessimistic about space travel when NASA announced they would shift some of their duties to the private sector, but Elon Musk has really made this idea exciting in the same way he did with electric cars. It really makes me believe that companies need a strong personality like his or Jobs' to get the public excited about new/revitalized sectors.

For those who don't know the backstory, as I didn't: Openfeint was acquired by Gree last year for $104 million.

Totally agree. A lot of this stuff would be a nice fit for Bootstrap especially.

That's true, although it seems like a lot of those apps might not use MapKit in a way where its use is a problem, right? Apple's maps probably works okay if you already know where you're trying to go. It's location and directions and such that are the problem.

It's kind of interesting that we've almost developed an expectation of JavaScript being simple. It's easy to forget what a pain it was to write cross-browser JS even 5 years ago. I like this progress.

Fantastic. This might finally allow iOS 5 hold-outs to upgrade to iOS 6.

The tilted 3D view has the same sort of skewing that Apple's new maps app has. Anyone know what it might be about the algorithms that make them do that?

Probably the hardest lesson from grad school was learning that my adviser wasn't always right. Learning to push back against what he said made me a much better scientist.

I kind of buy the 20 grams thing, actually. When I went to look at the iPhone 5 I noticed it felt lighter and discovered that it's only 28 grams lighter. Still, the surface didn't feel particularly heavy to me and I use iPad every day.

It's really not a bad first stab from Microsoft. I hope we can assume that the next rev will be even better a la Xbox (and not what happened with Zune).

I know things have changed a lot since the PPC days, but it seems like this might not be the best idea, and that Apple's history might point this out.

I can see it for iOS devices, but for a legacy computer part of what's attractive to me about Macs is the base compatibility with commodity PC hardware. Of course, I also am not the hugest fan of the move toward merging iOS features into the desktop OS, so maybe I'm just being old fashioned about this.

It's great that they're using Adenovirus for this. One of my favorite. I'm really excited to see viral therapies starting to nudge toward the mainstream.

Nice that d3.js is getting so much press these days. Really great little library.

I guess this is the other side of the coin as far as their brashly-use-trademarks-and-sort-it-out-later methods go. Not a bad track record though.
