My Swedish is good enough to be able to sign up for a 1 month free trial, but alas:

Sorry. :( Thank you for your interest in Cloud Royale! But unfortunately we are not available outside of Sweden. If you believe this is an error, please contact us and we'll look into it.

It's a shame, because it does look like a good offer.

I have no evidence for the claim, but I suspect it has something to do with a campaign that I think was started by the dominating classified ads site finn.no to get rid of IE6 (http://labs.finn.no/finn-anbefaler-ie6-brukere-a-oppgradere-...).

They made a snippet that displays a red box on the page with a warning if you are using IE6 and this got picked up by a lot of other sites. As you can see from the post above, this was in February of 2009.

It's confirmed: EU is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

A bit wide for my tastes in MacVim. My font of choice lately has been PT Mono. http://www.paratype.com/public/ I highly recommend giving it a try!

There's also Marked: http://markedapp.com/

I have no affiliation, just a happy customer. MacVim + Marked side by side is a neat combo.

Oh come off it. The title and URL preview clearly give enough of an impression of what this is about.

> Have you ever tried to set up a Gitorious box?

Yes! :'(

Complicated to set up and complicated to maintain. And its black box approach to storing the repositories on disk - using UUIDs as folder names, doesn't inspire confidence if the complicated card house should fall over.

I'm not saying Gitorious is a house of cards, but it didn't fit the bill for me at all as a person with limited time to fiddle with a source control setup but still want some self hosted repos. Gitolite ftw.

I'd also be suspicious of the integrated features of Fossil, which from a quick look on their site wouldn't be enough to cover what I need anyway. I'd be curious to know what the thought behind integrating everything is. Could be handy for a hackathon or such I suppose?

Marco Arment had an excellent take on this in this episode of his Build & Analyze podcast: http://5by5.tv/buildanalyze/22

The gist of it is that, like with RSS functionality in Safari, Apple moving in tends to raise awareness of the functionality but not go so far as to satisfy a lot of users. So Marci ultimately sees it as a benefit: more people knowing that they could use a reading list means more Instapaper customers.

I haven't seen the context of the original quote, but what you've quoted here is a valid statement and doesn't really have anything to do with what you're saying.

I'm in no way advocating client-side-only validation, but form validation on the client side to clean up mistakes can save a server round trip and a page reload, and so could save server side processing.

EDIT: just to clarify, I don't mean to turn this into a discussion with further nitpicking. I just thought your quote and comment were representative of some of the W3Fools content; picking a quote and interpreting it to mean what you want it to mean, and then criticizing it on that basis.

Not being able to modify even the highlight tint colour of the UITabBar is a mini peeve of mine. To me it doesn't make much sense to force blue when a lot of the other UI elements have a tintColor property which works great.

I didn't have the time to do a custom one for my last project so we stayed with the standard blue in the end.

Edit: nice work though! Nice to see a thorough explanation of your thinking.

I can't tell if #2 is a joke or not. Entry #1 is funny though, "beam me up, Steve G.".

It's the usual modus operandi as far as Apple is concerned. Non-US Apple users and developers like me are getting used to this by now but it is nonetheless quite disappointing.

I wrote up my initial impressions here:

http://thedailyt.com/2010/04/opera-mini-for-the-iphone-initi...

I have to agree with most posters here. It's a nice start and I think it's a very good thing there's now a competing browser engine in the App Store. It has quite a few non-native feeling elements to it, so if they iron out the kinks and give it a bit more of an iPhone feel it'll be a good contender.

The usual Opera instant back function (no reloading of pages on clicking the back button) is killer!

Rather condescending from Dean Hachamovitch I think. I blogged more about it here: http://thedailyt.com/2009/11/one-more-internet-explorer-to-w...

In addition to the other superficial claims presented in the article and exposed here I'd like to point out that the average age of regular cars in Norway is now 10.3 years [1], compared to 9.4 years for the US [2]. Hardly worthy of the emotional statement "they drive around in wrecks".

For bigger cars, SUVs or vans, the age difference is flipped, 6.9 years in Norway and 7.5 years in the US. There is enough difference in the car models between the two continents to explain staring googly-eyed at trucks when you get to the states, without resorting to emotionally inflated statistics.

This article is pretty shallow in my eyes. It adds nothing to any debate (I'm not sure what debate it is supposed to add to) and is full of hyperbole and superficial conclusions based on one person's observations.

I haven't seen a specific "no baggage" check-in point anywhere I've been, but that sounds like a good idea.

I remember when the check-in machines first appeared they also printed your baggage tags for you to stick around the handle yourself but they seem to have moved away from this system for some reason. That seems to me something that could speed up the drop-off.
