Yeah, it's a couple years old now: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1272481 At this point, much of the CSS3 demonstrated wouldn't require a vendor prefix at all.

Nice, runs well on iPad 1. Better than PE on my Nexus One, that's for sure. Looks like it's only $6.99 rather than the $9.99 quoted last night.

I'm more comfortable sharing the EFF 'opposition' post from yesterday. It's full of quotes that outline the concerns to friends and family that just won't understand or care about 'DNS'. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/11/explosion-opposition-i...

True, Steam and the Mac App Store have largely remedied that, but the amount of titles available (and release date) are still quite a bit behind Windows. I've also noticed my games (Source games in Steam and Minecraft) push more fps when I boot my MBA in Windows 7. (although I don't fault OS X for that - it's probably a developer/driver issue).

It seems to execute a mailto to the same email address with a subject of "Developer Device Program NA TouchPad"

Probably won't see it any time soon on the store: http://twitter.com/#!/BrynaAtHP/status/132202507966496768

You have to send an email including your developer user name to request a coupon.

Yes, "text neck" is a serious problem with working on laptop/tablet. Using an external keyboard would allow for proper placement of the display on a desk. But manipulating the iPad via swipes while positioned at head level could lead to shoulder problems!

Maybe with the 13" MBA or MBP, but my 11" gets around half the battery life of an iPad.

On a different note, an iPad also makes for a decent external display for a cramped 11" MBA.

A G+ user and Google employee. From his profile:

"I work at Google as an Android Software Engineer, primarily focusing on anything graphics and animations related."

Check out Tomato firmware: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato Much more control than stock firmware. It may be a matter of adjusting max connections and/or TCP timeout.

If you're looking at a powered-off screen only, maybe all smartphones look the same. Do all laptops look the same? The design and construction of the bezel, sides and back of a smartphone contribute significantly to the user's experience. Design also serves to differentiate devices with very similar hardware and capabilities in a crowded market.

GP may have been referring to build quality/materials, but I could be wrong. HTC devices tend to use more metal and non-slip surfaces that feel solid, as opposed to Samsung's plastic. SGS2 vs HTC Amaze for instance.

I personally think Samsung phones _look_ better, but don't feel as robust as most HTC phones.

Chrome under Lion: swiping the trackpad in an attempt to scroll horizontally often results in navigating back/forward through pages.

Most videos uploaded in the past couple of years would be compressed as MPEG4 (h.264, specifically), but regardless of the video format the audio/video would be muxed into one file. If the video track consists of one still image, the impact (serverside compression, storage, delivery) of the video track would be minimal.

"Maybe it’s the New York City in me speaking, but the days of T-shirts and hoodies are over." The days of t-shirts are over? Are the days of pants over? Were t-shirts in and of themselves ever "in"? I wear unscreened/printed colored t-shirts every day. I take care of my body and choose t-shirts and pants that fit well. I have as little respect for a coworker or potential client that judges my ambition or skill set as inferior because I don't dress myself off a rack or blog as they do for me.

Probably Intergraph.

Agreed, must not have been the IPS he used, while that's what the OP referenced. I've got an 11" MBA, and the display, while better than my EeePC, is certainly inferior to any IPS panel I've ever owned or used.

He granted SFPD permission, not Apple employees. $100k? That sounds like a stretch. Are you saying the residences of everyone present at the bar that night should be subject to search?

I'm not the OP, but I liked Notepad++ before I switched to Sublime for both platforms.

Riding Giants: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389326/ Pretty light fare, but the film footage is beautiful.

Driver 23: http://fenrisfilms.com/films.html Awkward, almost painful to watch, but hard to look away.

Bigger, Stronger, Faster: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1151309/ Unfortunately, this is the only one of these three available on Netflix Instant.

The neat thing about using the link is that I can send it to non-techs for previewing websites in different resolutions.

I guess that's the '08 MBA? My 11 is 1366 by 768.

The B&M markup on cables and adapters bothers me enough that I'll eat the downtime and buy from Monoprice or Newegg. For the price of one HDMI at Walmart, I was able to get HDMI, optical, and a display port->HDMI adapter from Monoprice.

Or too much of a "flight risk" when a higher paying position elsewhere arises, wasting the employer's investment in training.

According to the author, they were "contracted to Google by another company." So that could be a consideration for excluding perks that are normally folded into salaries.

I spend my lunch hour at the gym. Since I've started this routine, I workout more frequently, feel like my workday is shorter, and love not having my workout hanging over my head after hours (when I need the time for helping kids with homework). If I don't go to the gym, I'll run errands or work on my own projects. I get enough socialization during meetings.

Same with me. 41 and never had a problem sitting until about a month ago. Left leg goes numb and/or hurts. I do pretty intense strength training at lunch 4 days a week, but it's not enough. I now have to get up and walk more during the day or even alternate between standing at my desk and kneeling.

I appreciate the comparison, and I know it's nitpicking, but those images seem much heavier than they need to be. Using JPGs and/or 8-bit PNGs for the header and sub images could have saved 400K or so.

I own and love pixelmator, especially given the price, but I think it bears mentioning that it doesn't have full PSD support. While understandable, not being able to edit a type layer within a PSD (type is rasterized upon import) can be problematic when working with others or updating a file.

Android is Settings->Applications->Manage Applications. Clicking an app icon reveals permissions. Pandora has no entry for 'Your location', fine or coarse.

And that's also a pretty old version of Android FB. The current version includes Places, Chat and replaces Requests with Groups, creating a balanced 3x3 grid of icons.
