Re:Github Raises $100 Million on Monday July 09, 2012 @05:00PM (#4220393)
I just happened to be on their About page today and I noticed they'd taken down the "VC money raised - $0.00" section.

Congrats to the fine folks at GitHub!

99.99% sure they found it is good enough for me
Let me do some digging. I suspect not. I use Command + Tab to switch apps and then when I want to isolate I pull up my dock and click an icon (my dock is usually hidden).
We should hang out then! Shoot me an email zack @ zackshapiro.com and let's grab coffee and meet up! Maybe we'll end up watching a Ravens game together in the Fall!
I am indeed! Are you? Go Ravens!
Updated!
That was my mistake. I must have closed the tab by accident. Updating now. Thanks for catching this, cadooo.
Thanks! I didn't know about this. Personally, I like Single Application Mode so that I don't have to think about it. I throw every computer I have into Single App Mode when I get it.
I'm not familiar with single application mode for Windows. Sorry, grim :(
Nice find! Thanks chbrown.

This is great. Thanks Scott!
Agreed. Gravatar is pretty much the worst.
Somebody make a teddy bear out of this material and put it on a mantle a la The Parent Trap. It'll look like Metal Mario from Mario N64 and will keep your house totally safe. Bonus points if you put a red headband on it or anything else to make it look like a ninja

Re:In 50 Years Steve Jobs Will Be Forgotten on Thursday June 07, 2012 @07:44PM (#4081935)
While I enjoyed some of Gladwell's writing, this is bullshit. If you don't think that copying happens everywhere, you should watch everythingisaremix.info. Jobs took pieces of a million things and put them together in a way that made the most sense and connected culturally. Jobs won't be forgotten for a long, long time, just as Thomas Edison hasn't been forgotten. Gladwell's flat wrong on this.

I imagined that I'd open this article and the categories would be:

1. Angry 2. Really Angry 3. Overly happy and chatty 4. Business douchebags 5. Neutral 6. Hulk angry
