That doesn't surprise me too much. Visually, the Poke app does look much more appealing however the big win is obviously the Facebook integration. Snapchat requires you to find friends by their phone number or by manually entering their username. The Poke application on the other hand allows you instant access to your entire friends list. In my opinion, the Poke app will obliterate Snapchat because of this.

Where do you get the idea that Snapchat uses the Facebook API? I have the app and I see no signs of it and I can't find any mention of it on their website.

Keep in mind that there are slides of the presentation on the page. Not quite too sure why the mods added "[video]" in the title.

They have an overview video on the homepage. Seems like analytics and ease of use are the big wins for it. For someone that wants no hassle search the crawler looks pretty neat.

This doesn't apply to me but this is absolutely fantastic. It's great to see people with kind souls doing nice things.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Not really the "first" as there have been VNC servers[1] available for quite some time now.

While this is (technically) interesting, I don't see it being useful at all on a computer. Page curls are good on devices that can somewhat mimic a page but it really just feels awkward with a mouse or trackpad.

Just because data hasn't been found proving a company is profitable simply doesn't mean that it's not. It would be better if there was an "unknown" option for those companies.

Another odd tidbit is the Internet Explorer blurb. Having IE bundled with Windows doesn't make IE "profitable".

The biggest advantage for me, personally, is that it's so customizable and open source. Every last aspect can be tweaked to my liking.

I wouldn't say that the App Store is broken, but that it is terribly hard to use. For instance, after you've searched for something and paged through you want to view more information so you tap on it. After tapping to go back to the results, you're placed at the beginning of the results. If you want to compare applications that are deep within the results it's going to take quite some time.

Yes, that is correct. The orange header bar is usually replaced with a black one when someone of importance to the technology & science field passes.

Perhaps because the author found a flaw specific to iOS.

I can see how that can be quite cumbersome. I guess we just navigate websites in a different manner. Navigating to the homepage via the URL field is always my first instinct.

Different strokes for different folks.

There's a video on the homepage that shows it in use. Showing something actually being used will resonate much better than stating a feature list.

It's not my product. I merely submitted the blog post here since I know there are people on HN that use this service.

What's wrong with navigating to the product's homepage to learn more?

Obviously not. It's up to the tinkerer to figure that out (which is clearly possible by tracing around).

Again, this is pretty trivial with a disassembler such as Hopper that can generate pseudocode.

It's pretty simple with a disassembler. For instance... http://cl.ly/image/330V1S0y3i1S

Looks neat, but clicking the "shuffle" button completely kills the back button.

"Textmate" should read "TextMate".

Misleading title and description. This is actually written in C++.

Guilty.

Interesting to see so many people working remotely.

Your web app is a blatant copy of paper publishing that's been going on for decades. Get real, dude.

Was there any official statement stating that they would switch to GitHub? All I see is that they're switching to git.

The point of the UDID was for a unique identifier representing a device, not an application on a device. This project is a bit misleading indeed.

It's more of how you use the tools. Unless there are technical limitations or you're unfamiliar with said tools, why would you be against it? There are very large sites running on .NET so "it can scale".

TextMate has been acting very wonky for me on 10.7.

I can't speak directly on Vim since I don't use it much. I have only used it for very quick edits and am no "Vim power user" by any measure of the spectrum. Ever since switching to OS X, I've been using TextMate. As everyone has been assuming, TM seems to be slowly dying. With the upgrade to Lion I've come across many bugs and quirks with TextMate. Chocolat seems like it's going to be something fresh and inviting for users. Coming from TextMate, I think this will solve the need for a nice, new editor that will embrace new OS features and actually be supported.

Beautiful landing page, beautiful product. This looks to be an awesome editor. Can't wait.

There are even plugins to do this on jailbroken devices. I bet Paul K. is just trolling to drive up traffic to their site. Linkbait at it's finest 8-).
