No. All the button appears to do is open spotify and play the requested song. It does at least sync that playback to the widget though so you can see the song progress and interact…

Great idea. Mixing the past with the present, even if it's novelty some of these are classics. I'm not proud of myself, since I'm supposed to be being healthy, but I just ordered s…

Fascinating article. The difference between a minimum viable product and a minimum product is a complex one. I've been involved in many software companies that thought that they co…

I think I agree that in some cases it makes sense to open source things and in some it doesn't. I think when you look at a site like Teambox it makes absolute sense to be an open s…

I think it's really important to remember this context too. The results actually show that visitors to sites run by site counters customers show that distribution not that the inte…

I'm amazed at the number of people that don't test at all but also at those that blindly believe that because they're told to test they should always do it. I think it's important …

I'm with you on this. I think there should be a closer integration of design and development and not a 'handoff' from one to the other. We have been using the pattern that Ryan Sin…
