The story thats not being told is how those "hundreds of hours" spent building "snow fall" included direction, videography, 3d and 2d modelling and animation, photography, content-writing, design, coordination, and frontend development.
Scrollkit took just one aspect of that (frontend development) and stated "The NYT spent hundreds of hours hand-coding ‘Snow Fall.’ We made a replica in an hour."
Its outright dishonest, and devalues the great effort that others spent on it. I can understand why they are pissed.
Socialsync meets the definition of synchronization in the assemblance of a synchronism. I don't see how them failing to meet the authors rather loose choice of definition justifies them being called liars.
Some further clarification:
Henges have a ditch with an outer bank. At Stonehenge it is reversed, with a ditch OUTSIDE the bank - effectively making the world around it the structure for which it is named.

Stonehenge is clearly the outside of the asylum.
It sounds to me like you are doing your standups wrong. The job of the facilitator (in your case, the team leader) should be to keep things moving, and ensure that you aren't taking 30 minutes.
The most important thing to get out of the meeting, IMHO, is challenges, as status should be evident by the location of your story tickets. The problem with providing an environment where "Others can skim-read or ignore." is that they often will, and peer challenges can easily go unresolved without adequate feedback.
You are standing for a reason - its uncomfortable (for those of us who sit all day). Your facilitator should be roping in the conversation (and if not you need to replace them - rotating among team members often works). If that doesn't work, then your teams are likely too large.
There are many reasons. That is just one of them.
Please see parent and other posts in the thread, comments on the linked article, and discussions in the forums for others.
UPDATE3: The more I think about this, the more concerned I become. These new gTLDs, given the proliferation of combined search and location bars in modern browsers are tantamount to a direct keyword to those corporations with $185k to spend. Type in 'antivirus', and you will be directed to symantec - not the search results you would likely expect. This has to stop - NOW.
What benefit do these new TLDs bring to the table? If ICANN need additional revenue, why not fractionally increase the cost of the current gTLDs instead of introducing more?
All these new domains can possibly achieve, IMHO, is to confuse the consumer and allow corporations to control access to 'desirable' gTLDs.
If the domain space is so overcrowded, then by all means introduce a new gTLD - but keep it ICANN controlled. Either run a poll to choose, or allow the corporations to 'sponsor' their choice of TLDs incorporation into ICANN - but there is no way they should be commercially controlled!
UPDATE: Im really upset that I missed this - looks like ICANN opened up a discussion for public comment (which has now closed after only a month? Surely such a major change should be open to larger public debate..): http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/closed-generic-0...
UPDATE2: I have sent an email to [email protected] requesting that the discussion be reopened. I believe it is our duty as a community to publicise this discussion amongst web professionals and have a further chance to fight it. I would respectfully request that you do the same!
Does this require that my apps users each have a dropbox account?
I was going to jump on this as soon as it was announced. Sadly, I don't think this is suitable for Android development given the specs. What are your thoughts? My GF is very tempted to take over my macbook pro...

I am in the final throws of launching my startup. A name has been chosen (which I have grown quite attached to), and now its time to address trademarking. Its a bootstrapped startup, using what time and money I can save from my day job, and $18k+ with single-class global registration is so far out of my league I was wondering:1) Is a trademark important in this day and age? I already hold the...

Its pretty, but it only handles one rule at a time. Being able to provide feedback on all errors will be considerably less graceful..

I published notificon (an ender compatible library) to the npm registry, but it does not appear on the toolbox. How do I go about submitting packages to the toolbox?
How does this differ from MacClients in apache, or process limits on CGI? I agree with you, but don't see how this problem is specific to node...
Both PNGs and ICOs should definitely work. Unless you specify a favicon in the function call, it will look for the one specified in your head. If one is not specified in your head it will use the default favicon location (/favicon.ico).
It should work in Chrome 6 and above and Firefox 2 and above. There is no support for modifying favicons in other browsers client-side.
It has done the exact same thing for my friends posts for a looooong time. This isn;t specific to his account, its just more prominent because there are more people "liking" it.
