Gattaca was very prescient and thought-provoking movie, one of my favorites. The story described a future where individuals are allowed or denied opportunity based on a genetic test at birth. I think the point was that technology cannot pre

Agreed. The third party to defend against is not only an intruder to LinkedIn, but LinkedIn itself. If there are "misperceptions" about Intro, let us include LinkedIn's own misperception of how some of us view account securit

My favorite part: > Bounce Imaging is planning to sell an emergency responder version for about $1000, a military version for something under $3000. Because, you know, military .

You know that product {X} has arrived when it's assumed to be so mainstream that is's being used to describe functionality {Y} in sentences like "it's like {X} for {Y}".

Went to check it out. Pretty. I didn't see anything but yet another "create a login" screen, no sample of what the email looks like. Closed tab.

I was looking at kinvey.com mentioned in the comment of the article while researching an alternative for Adobe Publish at work. Their 1-2-3 explanation on the home page is compelling, except for the 1 part. Yes, one should have the option o

I transferred to namecheap.com over Bob's Elephant hunting controversy some time back. Now that doesn't seem like as big a deal in retrospect.

This domain is blocked by my work firewall as "pornography". Too bad.

I wonder if this is jedburg of reddit. I only say because he said "reigned" in his goodbye post today, and this pastebin said "reigned" too, when they both meant "reined". Also the writing is very similar. Similar number of sentences (48 vs

Hi, I don't speak for Twilio but as a developer I've used their system quite a bit in the past and enjoyed it lots. Haven't yet used Tropo, but I think it's really interesting. Sorry for necroposting, but I just found this via search. Twili

Interesting, it appears to be serving @font-face fonts with browser-specific stylesheets. Firefox gets a tag with src: local('name'), while IE doesn't. More details here: http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/technical_consider... Thi

I think there's some irony in only allowing comments with FB connect.

I really really hope that toppcloud takes off. I strongly empathize the itch that provoked its creation: deployment sucks, and a generalized Google App Engine would rock. Using Django to demonstrate how his project isn't just academic is a

The very end of the article mentioned hexadecimal time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal_time I like the idea of the 16-hour day, the 256-minute hour, and the 16-second minute. It makes at least as much sense as the divisions we h

Awesome idea. As for how, with the Twilio API I think you could do the transcribe bit. http://www.twilio.com/docs/api/2008-08-01/twiml/record#trans...

Nice and snappy. I like that in a web app, so kudos there. Still, YSlow gives you a C for not gzipping or using a CDN. Personally, I see no real reason not to use something like Google's AJAX library hosting ( http://code.google.com/apis/aj
