And once again, John Gruber has his lips firmly wedged into Apple's asscrack.

So the ACTUAL color resolution is what, about 340x200 or something? Or is it just a vertical/horizontal thing, or?

I believe so, yes.

I'm quite sad that they passed over such great things as WikiLeaks for Yet Another Ad Company.

I see this argument all the time. "Oh, Joe Schmo won't know how to do this! It'll frighten them!". And this happens absolutely everywhere. And it's true. But this problem won't go away until we start FORCING people to adapt, by adopting str

I get redirected to mybookface.net, what the hell?

Yeah, this is such bullshit, frankly. Most people use Ask.com, not Askjeeves.com which was retired years ago.

Having read the article and the abstract of the paper in question, it seems a little.. off. For a start, it's a meta-analysis pulling from a simply massive pool. And it asks people about areas of their life from a few years upto two and a h

Yeah. This title made it seem far more cooler than it actually is. Because all it is, is a dumb terminal, really.

Yes. I do.

Sterilized, not sterile. Some bacteria and fungi thrive in seed collections if they get moist. Sterilization ensures you aren't then planting these seeds and allowing the bacteria/fungi to grow over and throughout the crop.

I'm sorry, all I see in this is that it will make food a lot safer for everyone as well as doing benefit to the environment. If small farmers can't cope with this, that's not my fault. I WANT my food to be safer. If that means only large co

I don't want my font size jacked up to incredible levels, thanks.

I have to say, I don't like this site. I run at 1680x1050 and when the actual meat of the site only takes up a fraction of my screen width.. :/

What's all this sudden love for the cluster-fsck that is Cuil? It and anything it touches is just horrific, Cpedia included. Sorry to say it, but it's true. It will be a huge waste of money and engineer manhours that would likely be better

I'm GLAD of this, frankly. 99%+ of animated gifs are simply annoying and unnecessary

100 billion instructions per second is what.. fast than the current Intel i7s? Am I reading this right?

Where can I find a job like that?

I really don't care about Ustream anymore. Not since, like so many places, they went 'super kid friendly'. I used to love the service as I could watch artist friends create works in real time and watching an artist draw/paint is just.. wond

I don't make a living programming in Flash. :)

I have never, never, EVER had flash crash. Nor has anyone else I know. But then, they all use PCs..

My eyes are very good. Infact, even sitting at a distance of a few meet I can see individual pixels and sometimes even the subpixels.

Yes, I am.

I actually hate the one on the right. I don't want my favicons to be necessarily readable, or a blur of colors like that.. they're ICONS. Visual REPRESENTATIONS. Infact, most of the 'better' versions on that page sucked a lot more to my eye

Loading data from the db can be cheaper than actually RENDERING said data, so if you can push that clientside, you can save cycles.
