Apple aren't great because they invent everything from scratch. They're great because they are able to consistently identify the best ideas and combine them into something amazing.…

I see what you're saying, but there's a big issue in doing this with domain names - the margins are slim to none (at least they are if you want to be price competitive). Whereas re…

I was recently at a talk where someone rallied against this whole "just a feature" argument. They made a compelling argument that there's a fairly natural evolution you see many st…

6 minute abs!

Site seems to be struggling under load. I am excited about the concept - was thinking about this very idea while watching Coachella streaming live this year and then seeing all the…

Found a little easter egg. Enter javascript:ui.setObjects(makeRecursiveSpheres()) in the location bar with the page open and you'll really torture your graphics card.

This is killer. Be sure to try dragging the scene/objects!

I look after an Australian e-commerce site. About 6.5% of our users are on IE6 (I assume they're mainly office-workers on shitty, out-dated PCs). That is way too big a chunk of rev…

This approach is very common. Any start-up dismissed as "a feature, not a product" has pretty much started this way: 1. take a product you like, but that is missing a feature you r…

Absolutely. I have run an SSL-only site ( https://domize.com ) for a few years now. Other than Google Analytics I can't think of a single other widget/embed/analytics app that has …

What was the need/motivation for capital raising?

Isn't "Regret Minimization Framework" less awkwardly phrased as "go for it, you only live once". Or is there some further implication we should be striving to meet octogenarian val…

looks like the Dyson of cars - lots of emphasis on all the discreet panels and parts to show off their engineering chops. not my cup of tea aesthetically, but i'm sure it's good fo…

I think it's a tough one. If it works it's flippin' awesome, if it doesn't it can be a despairing experience. I guess the safe bet is to have a fall back option for those that want…

I think this has much more potential than a 3rd party site. Particularly after the novelty wears down. I am interested to see Gruber's reaction. If we start seeing high quality com…

This is shocking. Let's hope this gets some media attention.

The main flaw in this plan is the context in which Captcha's are generally used -- sign-up forms, comment forms etc. They're part of a deliberate user action, not part of a general…

I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be in CS5. The engineer says as much and John Nack, who just posted it, says it'll be in a "future" version of Photoshop. Which, if I'm right, m…

if people are tripping over your "power chords" you ain't playing them right!

the surprising thing is it must be a real one -- look at that orientation sensor going nuts!

"But my interest remains ... in the quality of the apps, not the quantity. Let’s say ... Android winds up with far fewer total apps than iPhone OS, but they’re of generally higher …
