Hmm I don't really see any evidence of this

I think moving the status bar to the location bar was a bad idea. The area in and around the location bar is already quite cluttered so I don't see the point. In many cases the bar isn't even big enough for the entire URL of the link being hovered over, unlike when it was in the status bar.

At least it kinda looks nice.

Two things hold me back from using Chrome on OS X:

1) Chrome's many non-standard (and ugly) UI elements. Especially the dropdown menus in the bookmarks bar.

2) Firebug - Webkit's web inspector still isn't quite there yet.

Otherwise I would switch to Chrome in a heartbeat :D

Totally agree. Although I actually use a thick black sock where the top and bottom are sewed together :). I lose face masks all the time so I started to just make my own and not worry about losing them.

On newsley, I don't think making the description a link is a good idea. Digg does this too and I find it very annoying as I'll accidentally click it sometimes (for example, if I want to copy and paste it). I'd also suggest making the description text a lighter color so the titles stand out a bit more.

Interesting. Pattern matching, eh? I'm pretty good with regular expressions... sign me up!

Wait a couple of years and you can use MacRuby ;D

I think your writing was fine! I like seeing some style with programming talk :D
Re:Ask HN: What source code is worth studying? on Wednesday October 14, 2009 @01:25AM (#880763)
For a smallish project that you can figure out fairly easily, I recommend the Kohana framework. It's extremely well documented and it's quite easy to read. Many people actually recommend reading its source to supplement the documentation and after having to do so myself I can see why.

Maybe so, but whenever I follow a link to Fast Company, I'm always reminded how much I love their logo.
