But I agree with you, it's a ux dealbreaker for most situations. Solution: control the hardware. :)

The opt-in button is messy but results are very precise and reliable. Some use cases warrant it, some do not. Maxmind claims 79% accuracy on a city level: is the google api worse? All other things being equal I would be inclined to pick the

Your best bet is html5 geolocation + modernizr.js + a shim. Browsers that support html5 geolocation will return highly accurate results while those that don't support it will fall back to calling the google maps api (ip to geo). https://gi

Good idea and I think it would work for Spaces too. Probably possible to build yourself with Automator. Related feature I want to see: focus-follows-mouse.

I would probably just point them to some beginner Wikipedia articles e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_sites .

Very MacGyver. From Radio Shack parts you can build a piezo sensor circuit and stick that on the keypad.

If a comment is logically invalid, intellectually lazy or cruel I sometimes hit the down arrow.

It is an especially good time to be a pragmatist. Communities can help us interpret the wake-up call but at some point the individual must do his own research, think hard and execute on a solid vision.

Your last sentence rings especially true. Each step is a potential point of failure. I tried to set up cap and passenger one day but got stuck on a couple of steps. Sure I could have plowed through and gotten it to work eventually, maybe sw

Why does the installation of new electronic components have to be such a headache? We don't even have wifi in our cars today. To get a standard cubicle feature in your car it's a PITA DIY project. Maybe we need to design with customizabilit

Yep git rocks and I think yours is a useful recipe. For my needs I prefer herokugarden to running my own server. Cname with them was a snap plus everything is free and if the need arises I can upgrade to heroku (rejiggered, currently in pri

That blog is sometimes a revealing read. Evidently they offered +$200k for the dot-com name of a small, mythical, woodland creature. They also: budget $15-20k for patent filings, defend Jellyfish's use of PR firms, detail Alice.com's pre-la

How hard have you worked on the fundamentals in the areas you want to master? Newton slaved for years in deliberate practice to connect the neurons you admire so much. Many people who think they are doomed to mediocrity in fact are not. Wha

If the issue is not the responsibility or fault of the person I am speaking with I do not expect their personal apology. If it is clear they are innocent of wrongdoing it seems unnatural for them to slavishly gush about how sorry they are.

I find plenty of quality news in text form. What I want is better stuff for when I'm on the go. Radio fails - it's mostly ads and the banal. Podcasts are better but they're not interactive and I can't un/subscribe until I'm back at my compu

That sounds good expense-wise. Maybe also include a rectangular sheet of clear, flexible plastic to serve in place of the front glass. And one for the matting.

For prints, it would be especially nice if customers also got a frame. Without a frame wall art looks cheap. It's no fun buying a beautiful poster and not being able to display it. If someone knows how to economically ship a frame, selling

I've always wanted to play the bassoon but it seemed too expensive an instrument to purchase so until last year I had not played a single note. That really bugged me until finally I accepted that I didn't need to buy one, I could just rent

On the CS side, I would add that if you mash POS data with marketing spend the results are often shocking. Consumer goods companies have terrific raw data but they ignore a surprising amount of it to their peril. I built a little sales anal

If you have objects or services that customers want repeatedly it may be advantageous to store the objects in S3, deploy the services from EC2, secure them via authentication/obscurity and charge in proportion to demand using DevPay. Withou
