It seems to fail the iPad detection.

It would be interesting to know what other people in the technology industry do during their breaks. I usually go for a smoke and a cup of coffee, and maybe getting to know what other people do could inspire me to avoid this bad habit.

Nothing special, it`s just your browser's default monospaced font.

The post tags include "death" and "RIP". probably a server misconfiguration tho.

It seems the actual speech recognition happens on a remote server, not in the device itself.

Senator: "Ok Mr. Schmidth, tell me what I`m thinking."

I've been in the situation you describe for roughly the past 3 years. You and your team must be successful at consulting _and_ the startup, and many people spend their lives without succeeding at either.

I have no experience in submitting Apps to the App Store, so I might be talking rubbish. But one could simply submit two binaries - or linking to the Mac App Store version, as suggested in another comment.

It`s like a bundle; pay once, run everywhere. Cultured Code`s Things for instance could sell such a bundle with a discount.

We already have Universal apps that run on both iPhones/iPod touches and iPads. It would make sense if Apple was to add Mac apps to the deal.

Sorry for the meta nature of this comment, but Pyjamas have been in my bookmarks for so long and I never really got the gist of it. With the first paragraph in this article, I finally "got it". This is the kind of golden stuff I love to see in HN, so please keep 'em coming!

You're right about the Google-like design, but to be fair it's been done for a long time for Apple software as well.

Same on Chrome, but since there was no horizontal scrollbar, my initial thought was that this was intentional for some reason. (aesthetic?)

Please forgive my ignorance, but wasn't Google sued by Oracle over issues regarding Google's implementation of the Java VM? It just sounds natural that other companies would be less motivated to maintain their implementations...

Wow. When I was a kid I was fascinated by watching bugs for hours, I even kept (and fed by capturing mosquitoes) garden spiders with their eggs in a plastic box, just to watch the spiders catch the prey and the egg hatch those dozens of litltle spideys.

But the one mysterious bug that I knew nothing about was this one. My parents couldn't tell me what was it, nor it appeared in any of my books and magazines...but I was completelly fascinated to see it carrying roaches around at my grandma's front yard. At the time I thought the green fella was hypnotizing the roach then "riding" it to it's place for dinner.

You can't imagine how happy I am to finally learn the name of that bug and what in the world he did with the roaches, thank you!

I'm not specially picky with typography, but they look just fine for me in Ubuntu/Chrome.

There doesn't seem to be an obvious way of deleting or editing tables after inserting one.

I'm pretty sure it's one of these one-day pranks google loves to do, like the pacman "logo", just a bit more intrusive and annoying then usual. Well, I hope so at least...

I'll never look at my Logitech mice the same way again. Thanks for sharing such a nice story.

I do agree with the usability concerns. The less animation the better, imho. If you remove the animation component that almost all "lightbox-like" implementations use, it's quite a handy feature tho.

But then again, I guess the point of the article was about showcasing what one could achieve with CSS alone.

If you use a javascript library such as Mootools, you could add a onDomReady event, wich fires as soon as the HTML is rendered - even before the <img>. Of course that means yet more Kbs, but almost all solutions have their downsides.

Regarding the original comment, I do feel the urge...clean and easy to maintain HTML is an irresistible compulsion for me :}

Reminds me of the Google Chrome cartoon: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/ Even the colors, characters and "objects with faces". Not necessarily a bad thing, just curious.

I'd rather read a "Crossbrowser websockets in 5 minutes" article

Just tried it with a first gen not-jailbroken iPod Touch. Worked beautifuly, with cover art auto-downloaded by Rythmbox and all.

I'll go as far as saying the experience is WAY better with Rythmbox then using iTunes.

Same, we were building a maze :]

It's amazing to see social interactions popping up with such limited communication. The lack of a chat feature is actually good imo, makes the whole experience more friendly and imprevisible.

iPhone runs iPhone OS, not FreeBSD. And Android is a Linux-based operating system, not a Java application.

I wonder what would be the outcome of making a small version of that trick in a business card...hmm...
