You're right about Twitter hitting the missing square in the periodic table. I think you glaze over the importance of the short nature of Twitter, though. Yes, you can write arbitrarily short blog posts. But you don't, because you feel like

I don't understand this paper. How does the merchant credit card fee change the price that users pay? I understand that they implicitly markup to make up for their loss, but everyone pays that markup, whether they pay with cash or card. Thi

Thank you; that is what I meant to explain, but you were much more clear. I guessed that wil was asking about the safety of his own application once replicated by others, because I don't see the concern of having users replicate their own c

Couch's design documents are protected, even though they are replicated, as you say. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, your application will be safe from modification, as it will be update-able only by the author.

I studied this summary before my most recent interview. It's a little abstract (in terms of lacking motivation/examples) for those who don't have experience in the field, but if you read it enough times, you get a decent handle on the idea.

Radiolab is great. However, it presents topics much in the same way that I imagine people who visit this site do- they love to explore interesting surface-level explanations of everything from the multiverse to the nature of consciousness.

I like the tilde tip, but I've noticed Google does this by default quite a bit (and seems to be more and more nowadays). I'm sure that explicitly giving the tilde activates more of the synonym checking, but I'm sure Google's goal is to even

I'm a little surprised to see StumbleUpon so high! I remember using it when it came out, and I never really got hooked. Now that I think about it, it makes a little bit of sense. I hypothesize that the target market is different than sites

Agreed. This strikes me as a more robust walk-through than traditional Hello World-esque tutorials; as such, there is a little more to do than you'd expect. I'd rather have the details provided here, and I suspect many other hackers would t

This is great! But are Dark and Grunge really the two latest? It seemed chronological up to Web 2.0, Textures, and even Minimal...but I don't understand why Dark and Grunge come after.

First, I have to say that this looks ambitious. There are some pretty exciting things in the gameplan; I am especially interested in the vmcasts idea. While I have to wonder if they can accomplish all of the ideas they lay out here, given t

Your description of this database sounds like an extension of Lala for all media. Is this what you're going for?

It sounds like UltraViolet is nothing more than a unified standard for video on demand. In this case, multiple providers (e.g. Comcast to your TV, Verizon to your phone) all know about your purchase and can deliver your movie in a variety o

Well, that's the trick, isn't it? You have to make people care enough about their "digital remains" to want the service, but not enough to worry about the risk. Will the new generation of techno-literate users find the happy medium and make

This looks pretty interesting. They have some nice explanations of their concept- particularly the fundamentals link: http://www.makanipower.com/concept/fundamentals/ It looks pretty complex, but if the numbers work out right, this is pro

I don't know- the Polar monitor sounds pretty unintuitive to me. It could work well if the non-button actions (such as moving the watch close to the strap) are communicated effectively and are implemented perfectly, but if not, I can see a

DuckDuckGo is a pretty well done site. I don't know if DDG is doing anything revolutionary with their software stack, but the stack is working well enough that one guy is essentially providing a useful alternative to Google. Consider the am
