They installed software on one computer that generates heat by running the CPU. They installed software on the other computer which detects heat through the computer's existing heat sensors, and when detected, moves a little foam dart gun.

Not as scary as I thought.

Meng gets it, looking forward to this.

It's not about good ideas, its about their implementation's good design.

What do you suspect?

What would you recommend?

Are you advising me to remove it in order to improve the viability of my business, or in order to make you (and others who share your opinion) feel more comfortable?

I don't personally use much foul language, but I felt Jeff's comment really captured the over-the-top enthusiasm he has shown about the product. That's why I made a point of including his first.

Flinto doesn't actually provide any mock up tools. I wrote a blog post about that here: http://blog.flinto.com/post/48225271974/what-is-flinto

If you have mockups created in another tool, even photos of sketches, Flinto is the fastest way to turn those into an on-device prototype.

Chrome uses Skia instead of CoreGraphics according to this: http://paulirish.com/2013/webkit-for-developers#webkit-commo...

I always reverse the shortcuts to that copy is: command + shift + (3/4) and save file is command + shift + control + (3/4)

Some other os x screenshot tips:

- hold space while dragging a selection and you can reposition the selection's origin

- press space to switch to window capture mode. This captures the whole window even if it is obscured.

Fun fact up until recently (mountain lion I believe) the capture window icon was a holdover from NeXT. I wish they'd left it alone, the new one isn't nearly as cool :)

I don't like having an app constantly running for this, or for it to intercept all my screenshots.

That is why I use a hacked version of Gyazo (http://gyazo.com/). I modified the script so that moves the file to dropbox instead of their monstrosity of a share page.

Gyazo is the best because you launch the app, are presented with a standard screenshot UI, and then the app closes and your URL is copied and opened in a browser.

Here is my modified gyazo script if you want to try it: https://gist.github.com/3390267

When I read the first half of that sentence, I thought it was going to end with "...was the main reason I kept using Rdio".

I like that they stick to their guns :)

Exact same for me. I'd like to opt out but I have no idea how from the instructions provided.

Couldn't the links expire to prevent most of these issues?

San Francisco seems like a great place to be a tenant and a horrible place to be a landlord. The San Francisco Tenants Union (http://www.sftu.org/) publishes a Tenants Handbook that is very fascinating. You'll be surprised how many rights tenants have and how few landlords have.

I can't help but wonder if there would be more housing supply and therefore lower rents if the city was more friendly towards landlords.

(I'm a renter in San Francisco)

I've always been impressed with Blizzard's web pages. It's the type of style I typically don't like, but it is done really well and appropriately. I often used it as an example in my classes to show how to do very graphical websites the right way.

So, good work! I think you're cool :)

Why should learning be a competition?

Interesting: "As part of the joint venture, Starbucks will invest $25 million in Square and hold an equity stake. Howard Schultz, Starbucks chairman and CEO, will join Square's board of directors."

Strange: "After ordering an item, they waive the phone on a scanner."

Do you think these foreign workers would be better off without these programming jobs available to them?

This article by Aaron Iba (author of EtherPad) talks about how he solved his wrist pain. He followed the recommendations of a book called "The Mindbody Prescription".

I'm in the same boat. I've had many bosses give the same advice. It's bullshit. Bosses like to define you as one or the other. Companies that appreciate your mixed skills will appreciate you greatly and pay you a lot. If you start your own business you'll be in the perfect position.

I've been using this for a while. This lets you effectively search your historic tweets which for me is a killer feature.

Sometimes I think of things I'd like to do with Twitter but I don't do them because it would require writing some custom script. Using t many of these ideas are easy to just do quickly from the command line.

What is your goal? You want to invest in something that will give you a large return?

A bit of trivia: The team that made Paper was involved in Courier at Microsoft.

One of my customers does pretty great iPad art. You can read about him on our blog. http://blog.imagesnap.com/post/19713596419/from-ipad-to-tile

Awesome, it must feel extremely good to chop the time down so significantly. Will the customer be able to stop running so many workers on Heroku now and save some cash?

What a nice page. I can't wait to see what their new designers come up with in the future.

They recently hired Tim Van Damme (http://timvandamme.com/) and Maykel Loomans (http://miekd.com/)

My app, Cocoyon is built explicitly for the purpose of tracking the location of your friends in real-time. We initially got the exact same "Your app does not include features that require persistent location." rejection.

What the really wanted from us a was a battery usage warning in the description.

The article says: "Shouldn’t we all be paid proportionally to the value we produce and our time."

If your work is directly contributing to that value, then sure. But in the example given (a machine that prints $100 vs $1 bills), the work is exactly the same. If you expect to be paid more to work on the more expensive machine, another worker would surely undercut you.

I don't think it is "bogus" to be paid for work and not take a share of the profits. I have specifically requested this arrangement at various startups, even when offered stock. If you want to be compensated with some sort of stock or royalties, you are making a bet on the future success of the business.

Apple has become one of the most successful companies ever, while building quality products. Their products are thoughtfully designed by obsessive designers and engineers, the best of the best. Apple products would make a great "USA souvenir" if not for the fact that they are already available worldwide.

It is based on the first sound of the word. If it is a consonant sound use "a" if it is a vowel sound use "an".

That is what a professional copywriter told me.
