Pretty cool. The rectangular select tool doesn't work on my system (Chrome 9.0.597.107, Mac OSX10.6). I see tons of visual artifacts where it hasn't repainted correctly. See http://grab.by/9hPv

I was hoping it would work on iPad.

I use this semi-regularly mainly because file->save saves to a URL, saving me the extra upload-somewhere step when making quick sketches that I want to share with people.

The canvas is not stretched to the entire width of the container in FF 3.6.13/Mac. Try setting the dimensions of the canvas dom object to the dimensions of it's container.

OK, let me see if I got this right:

  1. Identify any Windows desktop program that most people need.
  2. Build an equivalent app that will run in any browser.
  3. Migrate everything to the cloud (whatever that means).
  4. Give everyone an iPad with 4G.
  5. Get rid of the network.
  6. Get rid of IT.
  7. Get rid of all desks, chairs, phones, and break rooms.
  8. Get rid of the corporate office.
  9. Build 24,000 more Starbucks.
  10. Get back to work.

What did I miss?

Starbucks needs those lounging chairs you always see in the commercials. Otherwise you don't look sufficiently cool when iPadding.

I did a blog post on using Starbucks as a main business-person hangout, and got some criticism on it. Which is ironic, cos everyone WANTS to use it as a main business-person hangout.

I just think its so much untapped potential for Starbucks.
