i design.

joelackner··on f.lux has been updated to a new version
the alt-pg up/dwn feature to adjust brightness is pretty great. the fact that it rolls back in the morning is pretty clever, i always found myself having to fidget with settings on my monitor.

i wish more devices, like tvs, had flux baked in.

joelackner··on Inside story of the Moto X
currently you cannot (according to their docs), however it sounds like that will be possible in the future.
joelackner··on My Very Own Protocol Droid
they have some devices that use the verizon network, too.
joelackner··on Oculus Rift - Update on dev kits, new display, new sensor (shipping in March)
i'm in this group as well. if you find out, let me know.

edit: some info from palmer: http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/13xmbf/update_on_ocu...

joelackner··on Verizon is Selling Your Personal Data
that's a clever way of sticking it to them, jrock. i feel sorry for my neighbors already.

this brings up an interesting point. how difficult would it be to automate scraping off of one of these services?

joelackner··on Parse 1.0 is released
It's not fancy or automated, but I Integrity for Mac every few weeks: http://peacockmedia.co.uk/integrity/
joelackner··on Man Supposedly Flies With Custom-Built Bird Wings
incredible. i never really thought how jarring and jerky flapping wings would be...
joelackner··on Audacity 2.0 Released
i tried offering my help, mostly for web and icon work, but the developers never responded. i'm sure i'm not the first.
joelackner··on [dead]
they got the name out, and are disconnected from christoforo. this is what i'd call a cheap slam dunk.
joelackner··on Christmas tree made out of form elements (webkit)
more clever working coming from you, hakim. love that the elements are still usable.
joelackner··on Death to .DS_Store
blueharvest is a pay mac os app that does this: http://www.zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest4/

don't get me wrong, i think this needs to be fixed at a higher level to really squash the trails mac leaves on other servers (just browsing a network share leaves these behinds).

joelackner··on Notch's New Game - Minicraft (And An Android Port)
i'm not a programmer. how do i build his source in eclipse? the closest i get is this and i'm stumped: http://i41.tinypic.com/opxrna.png
joelackner··on Show HN: Random Google Street View
awesome. i'm going to have some fun with this and my hmd-z1 (right click > 3d mode on) when it comes in!

it's really staggering the amount of work and data google is offering up here.

joelackner··on TouchPad 16GB on Sale for $99
hopefully not very hard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224540
joelackner··on Google Please Hire Me
i dig it -- isn't that the desired action he wants the user to take?
joelackner··on App.net
this might sound lazy, but why don't you scrape the content (description, icon, screens) when i add my app?
joelackner··on 14 Years of Waiting Have Come to an End: Duke Nukem Forever
it's better than people are making it out to be. if you enjoyed the first, you'll enjoy the nostalgia. it's a little uneven in terms of fun and pacing (as such a frakenstein'ish project with multiple hands and such a long development cycle will lead to), but i think it's worth playing.
joelackner··on WebGL support in iOS 5 only available to iAd developers
at least it's one step forward to bring webgl to tablets...
joelackner··on New Mobile Safari stuff in iOS5
while i use icab 99% of the time, i've hit a few limits. first off, not being able to set it as a default browser is frustrating. secondly, i've found a few rendering differences between it and safari: onswipe (the tablet theme powering wordpress.com blogs) and google font api being the two biggest ones i've ran into recently.
joelackner··on Google to offer for-pay Translate API
people (non-hackers) are searching for content (and people) on facebook. pages alone host a considerable amount of fresh content from businesses, institutions and organizations.

you do have to consider many of those searches as looking for stuff already in their social graph (friends, pages, etc). i know i use their search to navigate all the time.

joelackner··on HTC sides with consumers: No more locked bootloaders in Android phones
when htc improves their battery life (as far as the manufacturer can do) they'll be tops in my book.
joelackner··on Google search volume by language (WebGL)
time to upgrade to 4.0, brother.
joelackner··on Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate, and from what?
250ish affiliate sales 400 hosting 15 mobile app ads 50 mobile app sales (should grow decently when i launch my first ios game)
joelackner··on Techniques To Simplify Sign-Ups and Log-Ins
to counter this, i prefer using my email. it's always unique and i don't need to make something up if my goto username is already taken.
joelackner··on Sony Confirms PlayStation Network Outage Caused By ‘External Intrusion’
i'm able to still use netflix after getting 2 login failures on my end... it's a hassle but it's not blocking me from using it entirely.
