Situation may be different. Co-founder may sell fast by promising more features. If it's done without consultations with tech co-founder it may break the architecture and development cycle completely. And in case feature was promised and never delivered customers will be disillusioned.

It's interesting that WP Stats is the least popular app. Even simple Big Red Button ("Don't push this button" app) beats it!
Actually it's a bit sad to see that market is more favorable to some "cool" simple apps rather to useful, but more complex.

I can't agree more. I was really disappointed when found out that I need to wait for release. Most likely I'll forgot unless it will appear on top of HN next week.

Take a look on 2checkout.com. We are using it for more than a month already(moved from PayPal to accept customers who can't use PayPal).

Such device can be great to ship your web products to customers. For example you can create CRM system or web gallery and ship it on SheevaPlug. So client will be able to plug it in his local network and have it working without any complex setup.

I absolutely agree. Test mini-project is probably the best way to see person in action. No tests, recommendations or anything else can assure that person will actually fit your team.

The is a good reading regarding similarities of religion (especially ancient east philosophies) and modern science. If anyone is interested take a look at F.Kapra's book "Dao of physics".
I've read it on my philosophy class in uni. After it I see much less contradictions.

It will be great to see some comparison with popular frameworks - Cakephp, Zend, CodeIgniter, etc.
Please put some demo and allow downloading without the registration.

Could you name reasons why it was a costly mistake for you? Were there scaling problems or issues with maintaining existing code? I'm not trying to protect php, just curious.

I wanted to say that Firefox users "mess with your business model" because they have plugins for that. If you will give IE users a set of plugins to choose from, the most popular will be AdBlock. So main benefit they are referring to will be gone.
Sorry if my English is a bit confusing, it's not my first language.

Is it just me or "IE evangelist" sounds a bit strange? :)
Hm... this article does not make sense.
First they say
Firefox users are more likely to "mess" with your business model. "They tend to install things like ad blockers, whereas the Internet Explorer user is more mainstream."
Then they actually want IE users to start using custom plugins too.
Working as a web developer I have to deal with IE6 bugs almost on a daily basis. Sometimes I imagine how much time is spent on this. If we could use it on different purpose we could write a new browser with complete standards compliance.

SimCity had a bug where it used memory it already freed. This worked under DOS for whatever reason, but not under Windows. So the Windows team hardcoded a special case just for SimCity.
It sounds like there was a some kind of bug in DOS that allowed SimCity to work with object freed from memory and Windows team tried to hide it in Windows by making a special case :)
In any case I think it's called going an extra mile for the customer, isn't it? (I can't believe I'm writing it about MS)

Re:PHP framework comparison benchmarks

My latest project was based on 1.1, which is actually a stable version. And it does handle more than three requests per second ;)
But I have some doubts about cake 1.2 now. I believe we should wait for stable 1.2 release...
Re:PHP framework comparison benchmarks

I can't believe CakePHP is so slow. Probably they have used unstable version. I used cake in few projects and had no problems with speed.

We had exactly the same problem and have tried a lot of things.
But recently we have solved it. You need to set SPF and register it with hotmail.
It should solve your issue.

hm... it looks like all criteria were chosen right for web2py. By the way php is not a framework, so comparison is inaccurate here.
However web2py look pretty interesting, I think I will definitely give it a try.

For more than 3 year I've not seen "magic_quotes" or "globals_on" turned on anywhere. As far as I know in php6 there won't be globals option at all.

Actually php5 gives almost everything that was missing. The only thing is that a lot of pilots used to work with poor instrumentation and don’t want to switch!
If php sucks then why there are so many successful products/services written on it?
