    Out of curiosity, how does an organisation gets recognised as religious? Can a sufficiently determined white supremacist set up a church of all blacks are evil and start lawfully d…

    I had the impression that Samsung was readying themselves for this with Bada. There will probably give more weight to it from now on, while investing less and less in Android. It w…

    I suspect other phone manufacturers will be less eager to invest in Android as a platform. Symbian's ownership was a huge problem back in the day. We will see a repeat of the drama…

    Something that takes an URL and returns the tag that displays the media. Is this URL to a jpg file, spit a img tag. YouTube video? Iframe. Instagram link? img with the pictures URL…

    I am surprised nobody here suggests that he should build a product out of this. Aren't we all in business of unemploying people?

    Is there a rich preview for URLs JQuery plugin out there?

    I am developing a social link aggregator application and need a JQuery plug in which can inspect URLs and produce preview elements for them. You obviously need server side magic to…
