Also, there is no such thing as "French characters". The grave and acute accent for example are used in multiple latin character based languages.

Well, Firefox Mobile does sync bookmarks & history. But I think most mobile devices are still limited enough you can't really run a full-featured browser and get good performance -- thus the current lack of a direct Chrome port on Android.[1]

Trying to 'sync' extensions between two radically different apps probably isn't worth the headaches it would cause... even an auto-suggest would probably mess up enough to be annoying.

It's good that they're using real people in the photos in those designs. Few things bug me more on marketing sites than when people use those happy stock photo people, who are usually jumping up and down or looking at a pie chart, or staring at me in their hands-free headset, ready to take my call.
You're right, Amazon is overpriced for large file storage and delivery, but the devil is in the details.

By way of comparison, we (advection.net) have footprint in US, Europe, and SE Asia, and for large online video streaming clients we routinely charge about 1/3rd of the CDN mentioned in the blog.

But I'd venture it's less about price, and more about what you're trying to do.

For example, you might want to use AWS for your application hosting, and MaxCDN for your static web assets, and someone like us for streaming video. Unlike Amazon S3 or even CloudFront, for video you may want someone supporting native streaming protocols[1] including Apple's adaptive HTTP live streaming or Microsoft's SSTP.

Keep in mind the brand name CDNs you mention charge extra for everything on top of their bandwidth price. The bandwidth price might seem lower, but if you divide all the "extras" (like, say, reporting, tokens, or live URLs) by your usage, it's generally costing you more. Meanwhile, S3's storage might seem lower, but their price is per location and they charge you between S3 and CloudFront, while ours is a single rate with no charge to distribute from hubs to edges.

Besides delivering from our footprint, we also handle distributing traffic across other CDNs if you have a very large event or want multi-CDN traffic/cost management. As volume buyers and with our provisioning tools, we can offer you a blended rate often less than you can get on your own, or you can "bring your own CDN" and we'll distribute the traffic according to your specs. (From 2001 to 2008 we were solely private labeling video delivery on behalf of major CDNs that didn't have video delivery capability built yet, so we can provide a lot of help with multi-CDN integration needs, such as multi-CDN rollup logs and reporting.)

The design with the big customer photo also has the most obvious "call to action" button.

That forum was the only way I found out I wasn't getting paid in full as well..... I have so many orders, checking them 1 by 1 wouldn't be possible. Developers need another location to communicate, and fast, because if this payout thing happens again, I'm worried Google won't find out. Based on the canned responses I get from the email forms, I honestly can't tell if they read my emails or not.

The "known issues" page is where issues go to die in my opinion. When I see an issue added there I just GROAN because I know that's it. It's probably not going to ever be fixed.

You must use a different definition of 'unimaginable' than I'm familiar with.

Sorry, just thought that was funny phrasing. First thing I thought of was that xkcd as well. It is interesting to talk about instantaneous population trends, which is what the extrapolation is based on. It's a shame they couldn't have just done that and stopped there without trying to extrapolate into something that can be viewed as 'prediction' by a casual reader. But hey, at least they admitted they used the backs of envelopes for the calculation.

It's probably not a question of access to the information but one of the contents identifying to the source. Wikileaks caught a lot of bad publicity over their spotty sanitization of the Afghanistan leaks.
The accent on the final (hehe) e would be wrong in Italian. The Italian word is pronounced something like:

fee-NAH-lay, not fee-nah-LAY.

IIRC, it is much more common in French to place an accent on the final syllable than in Italian, where the second to last usually gets the emphasis.

In any case the point stands that the word looks wrong.

I may have made a mistake: risky and methodical are orthogonal. Space flight is inherently dangerous and the thousands of smart NASA workers were surely aware of the natural dangers, but their jobs were to minimize them. Thus, the apparent orderliness.

Who said anything about helping them? I was responding to a comment that suggested we had no useful counter-strategy to hacking, since it's difficult to respond to a cyber attack via conventional means. They know this, which is why it's relatively safe for them to engage in targeted hacking of US targets.

China is vulnerable to social unrest, and stirring up that social unrest puts them in a similarly difficult position...it's not something that they'd likely be willing to go to war over, but causes them great inconvenience. Developing/distributing vpn or other software that would bypass the great firewall would be useful here.

Your other article, "Best Text Editors for Programming", is a perfect article for Listry I think. The Cambridge coffee shops one would be good if there were a lot of Listry users that lived in Cambridge and could vote on it, I'm not sure there are enough though.

Your feature request is a good idea, I'll keep it in mind for down the road.
24 billion is quarterly revenue. 2 billion is annual.
I think this is a good approach, but the preprocessors really need to be improved. Take a look at the examples of "Compiled CSS" included in the article, where declarations are repeated over and over. You'd get unnecessary bloated end results using this method, but a good minifier or preprocessor _should_ be able to solve it for you.

I don't care what the Chinese government refers to it as. I formed my own opinion after talking to some Falun gong people and reading their books, over 10 years ago: it's a mishmash ot Tai chi and new age woo. See for yourself: http://www.falundafa.org/eng/books.html
I'd like to counter that my subjective impression is important when looking at a design.

I take one look at the site, and it repulsed me away from taking a look at the site contents further. That's what design does - it can attract you and make you obsess and salivate over it without you knowing why (like the design for the iphone for example), or it can make you look away as soon as you even get a glimpse at it.

I can handle different artistic styles - but just do it well. There is a visual hierarchy, but it serves to distract me instead of guiding me along the contents of the page.

I may sound really harsh - but that's because I value meaning and content over technical consistency. For example, the diamonds are used in an extremely consistent way - to mark the separation of content - BUT they clash against the white lines which serve a lower purpose - which one grabs your attention more? I don't know, they both look pretty loud.

Again, a very technical design - very consistent - but there is no use to having all these elements all over the page.

I suggest if they want to use diamonds, then make the white lines thinner. The diamonds mark distinction between pieces of "content" (ie different videos), whereas the white lines mark the distinction between title and descriptive text within a single video. I would postulate that the marker between content is more important than the marker between title/descriptive text, so therefore:

1) Have one diamond separating the videos

2) take the white lines, and make them thinner so they don't compete with the diamond markers.

That's what I meant by "visual hierarchy" - every visual element should have a priority - that leads you to think and absorb the content in a priority list.

And I agree about the video screencaps - what good is a big picture for a videocap if it's just repeating the title in a graphical way next to the title in the next column over? The coding principles of DRY also applies in design.

If the graphical element is considered important, then

1) keep the screenshot / video player that has the title as the videocap - use the <alt> tag to have the title show up in screenreaders for accessibility if people have browsers that can't display images.

2) REMOVE the title from the right hand column

3) just have the descriptive text in the right hand column.

Propagate this down the entire list of videos and that immediately cleans up the design a lot.

The other explanation I can think of is that this is a "look what I did over the weekend" project. The whole thing is very tongue and cheek so maybe it has some insider designer jokes - but that means we as hackers should not be parading it around as a good design.

Probably, but where do you think that it came from?

However, it is useful to steal it and start moving it now.

I was not clear enough. This is not a statement on what choice I would make (I would be pro) but an abstract reflection. A reflection based on the idea that the existential framework such a being would operate in would be so diverged from the originating human that the old concerns, wishes and plans would likely pale to utter insignificance. The relationship between a seed and a maple tree.

This is not a statement that presumes that the human's wishes were more meaningful or that things should be a certain way. No, its just an abstract observation that the assumption that the new being would share the same core being, values, views and attach the same significance to old memories is baseless.

I hope that it means that the Android Browser starts rendering as well as Chrome on the Desktop. They are much more different browsers, at this point, than you'd expect. (Granted, my only experience has been the Android Browser on the Galaxy Tab we just purchased.) For instance, CSS transforms have artifacts, 3D CSS transforms aren't hardware accelerated, strange z-index and focus bugs, and more. I'd imagine more equivalence with desktop Chrome would straighten some of these out.
Woah, hold on there. I didn't for one second say I supported the likes of Chavez.

+1. Market support hates me. I just keep writing them, and writing them, and encouraging users to do the same. It always feels like tilting against windmills and I've never had Market Support solve a single issue or respond with any details that showed they even understood the issue, but I do it anyway with fingers crossed.

You're right about the forums - I've had a few issues that Market Support was useless on, but was solved by other posts on the forums (non-alphanumeric character in a company name causing you to never be able to respond to a customer request, anyone? Argh.).

And add my vote for developers-only forums - but not just accessible from the Developer Console...since you can't associate more than a single Gmail account with a developer account (talk about enterprise-unfriendly...), the principal developer account should be able to invite others to the forums.

In my opinion, the motives are very clear: it's significantly cheaper to steal technologies and trade secrets than to develop or license them (for both the commercial and military spaces).

And the burden of security should fall on each individual company and government agency. We don't need a "public counter hacking effort" if these entities implement security correctly and effectively.

This will be a story that will continue to grow in the near future.
You've got to be kidding. Chavez "nationalizes" to take over companies and presents the move as taking from the rich to give to the poor. Castro did something similar with American companies like The Hilton when he came into power, as do virtually all socialist dictators. The owners of those companies are far from content. It's just utter ignorance to even state that.

2) This doesn't compete with WebIntents, which is about application selection. WebAPI is about device integration which is compatible with WebIntents. You could, for example, want to make a call and be prompted with several Phone app choices (thanks to WebIntents) and then dial the number and make the call (thank to the Telephony API which is part of WebAPI).
