This is what i was told by apple engineers when asking straight out.

1-click-payment for anything... Could be a square card-case competitor. Image a café that has tweeted the menu. You go in, reply to what you want, you get it. Could be huge on mobile payments.

Harry Roberts (@csswizard) did something similar, but fluid width a while ago

There are thousands of reasons to love or hate android. One thing i like is the development going on in Cyanogenmod and MIUI Android. It's relevant to me.

Those things wont help android 'win' against the iphone, but it will be relevant in other markets, like the MIUI phone, wasnt that around 200$?

One thing that is completely missed by the "letter-by-letter" comparison is that Roboto by default has much looser kerning ("letter-spacing") than Helvetica. This should make some difference when screen reading. IIRC iOS, even version 5, doesn't support kerning in UIKit. Does anyone know if Android does?

Paul Irish blogged about it a while ago http://paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/

Love the snapiness and complete lack of fancy animations!

This is a local politician, Thilo Weichert, trying to make a name for himself. I think everyone in germany except him are wondering what he is doing.

Initializr is a little more bare-bones, you can create your own package and customize it a little on their site already. It's based on the HTML5 Boilerplate but haven't got as much stuff in there. I use it all the time. http://www.initializr.com/

ok found this good old one http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2129745

sorry to bother you sir but could you tell me what that is called and maybe where i find out more about it?

Can someone shoot this thing down: What if we think 'data synchronisation protocol' instead of 'e-mail protocol'? E-mail would then be an 'append only' application of this. The protocols focus would be to register a piece of data, keep track of the 'owner' and sharers and maintain synchronisation (preferably in a peer-to-peer way). I know this problem is big, but once it's done in a reliable way it would be simple to build a good e-mail-style communication on top of it.

Higher resolution, but further from a finished product: Junior Veloso's experiments: http://3dhomemade.blogspot.com/2011/03/high-resolution-compa...

He's using light from a projector to harden liquid resin.

Oliver Reichenstein, a swiss/japanese news designer, has been writing about some similar thoughts: http://www.informationarchitects.jp/en/business-class-news/

I interpreted that it meant, especially concerning usability, that those strategies are not things you can easily differentiate with, they're rather commodities.

Could u please go a little more into detail on that?

Can someone please explain this to me – i can fully understand how a technical solution to do this could be patentable – but how can the very interaction design part be patentable?

It seems like this is an "idea patent" rather than an "i invented something and spent a long time developing it and now i need to be able to protect my investment patent".

I'm not sure whether even Safari and Mobile Safari comes from the same branch of webkit. Chrome and the Android browser definitely don't ... When I spoke to Apple Engineers about how WebGL is available in iAds ("running html5 in a normal webkit view") they mentioned that "webGL is in mobile webkit, but not in mobile safari". This thing, suggesting there's a "mobile webkit", when PPK has shown that feature-wise, there isn't, made me wonder how the webkit tree really looks...

It's cool!

One little thing, the iPhone 4 doesnt respond to neither css nor js resolution of 960*640, instead it has the same resolution as the 3GS but with -webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2

please post specifically this one somewhere!

True it's not for every site. But it would be perfect for listings like craigslist, reddit (maybe using mobile version) and such :D

Now, yes. Was there any technical/manufacturing reasons for those 5-point screwheads? Better performance? I love the mac as much as you do. I run one at work and 2 at home. I'm just worried that they start making it suck. And i don't think apple fans saying "you should get applecare" like in the comments for this article are helping.

You mean like the 5-point torx screw in the Macbook Air? http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/10/macbook-air-teardown/

Good point about vendor prefixes. The problem is that once implemented, it takes very long time for them to go away.

I thought i wrote what i wanted in the headline. I want to see or hear about webGL and websockets. I'm quite sure others are disappointed because of the lack of CSS transitions. Maybe they should've waited a while before releasing if they couldn't implement more CSS3 features.

From this paper http://info.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/Z.Kalal/Publications/20... it seems that the system collects images of successful detections, and that way gets more data to base its' coming detections on. In this demo this seem more responsive than Kinect, but on the other hand he's only tracking one object at the time, is he?

It also supports using the accelerometer in javascript! http://karlwestin.posterous.com/javascript-accelerometer-on-...

I love what you did with this and i will definitely play around with it. This functionality should really be built into the browser in my opinion. I was thinking, for performance reasons, did you try ditching the $(window).scroll and go with this? http://jsbin.com/eciwu4/edit
