I feel like this would be a really interesting point to get Mr Hennessey's response to, but since he has comments disabled on his blog, I guess that's unlikely.

Great story. Downloading a copy of Polymer right now. Congratulations on getting your baby out into the world!

Serious question - is there any good way to record and edit podcasts on the iPad? That was the primary reason I went with a laptop rather than an iPad as my last tech purchase.

True. I'm also a little confused by the "every two weeks" part of his initial question that I quoted. Would I buy a $5 special every two weeks? No, but I wasn't going to buy a $20 …

"Imagine what would happen if Jimmy Carr, Dave Chappelle, Zach Galifinakis, Will Ferrell, and every other comedian in town started dropping specials every two weeks. Would you stil…

I certainly do. Aside from Twitter it's the only content consumption method I use every single day.

...Reeder is on iPhone. And it's brilliant. Go get it.

Curious about the ability to put Android on one of these (in case WebOS ends up a dead end) - has anyone here tried it? How'd it go?

Yes! Loved Gold Rush. What a quirky idea for a game, and so well implemented.

It's worth mentioning that Minecraft has over 15 million registered players and almost 4 million sales, and it isn't even out yet. That's way better than a whole lot of "mainstream…

I just loaded the tab with this article into a tab group in Panorama. It felt GREAT. Seriously, it's off to a really nice start. I very frequently mentally "put away" a set of tabs…

Oh man - until you said that I had entirely forgotten that there were once programs that did nothing but query the menagerie of search engines out there and show you a page of resu…

I walked it through (without registering) and thought it was interesting, but was surprised to not see any summary of my input at the end, or analysis provided, or anything other t…

Someone tried that at my office and was actually told by management that they weren't allowed to have it, as there was a concern that if she were to fall off it and hurt herself, s…

An admirable piece, as it was when it was written in 2007, but it's worth noting that in part a verdict has already been passed on the idea; Manifesto Games, which it touts as its …

Yup, not a member of a startup - at least not at the moment - but a proud resident. :)

And I managed to miss out on the half-off preorder. Sigh. Hopefully they'll run another one before release day.

I'm with logjam on this one. I double-majored in Computer Science and Theatre, and while I do now use my Computer Science degree to make money, I don't believe I learned almost any…

I managed to snag Grid PC for about $16 ($20 - 20%) and a UMD case for PSP games for about $9 ($13 - 30%), but the vast majority of the stuff in there was still horribly overpriced…

Classic. Never get tired of this one. :)

I would assume this also happens every time I search on Google with ANY browser, if I also happen to be logged into GMail from the same computer at that time. The auto-complete the…

Ah, okay. In that case, I have no idea. ;) Based on the number of startups in existence, I would guess that yes, it's probably feasible, but I didn't go that route so I won't have …

Is getting a job feasible? With a CS degree? Yes, it can be done. ;) What were you planning on doing after college other than getting a job?

Do as much extracurricular stuff as you can manage with as much time as you can give it, in whatever interests you. I was also a CS major, and my free time went to theatre. I actua…

Agree. This was really disappointing - I mean, obviously the vast majority of us have already known for a long time FF 3 was coming, and we would have upgraded to it when it was av…
