I went to college with him and he was just as odd back then.

He "ran" an _attack ad_ for a student judiciary campaign calling a friend of mine a rapscallion.

Odd dude, but to my great surprise, he appears to be doing interesting work. Wish him nothing but the best.

Can you elaborate on this? Where can I filter for this? I absolutely hate flying, so even saving 30 minutes would be great, if the costs aren't out of control.

At one point, this said it was due to a Denial of Service attack. That text has since been pulled, unfortunately I didn't get a screenshot.

Somerville at least has RCN to fall back on to, and they've been good to us. Still, more competition can never hurt!

He did--he called out Rdio (http://rdio.com) as an example.

We're having issues with -1a but not with -1c. Wonder if this is isolated to a single rack that hosts multiple AZs?

And unfunny satire at that.

I'm not sure who you're replying to or if I'm reading your post right, but Rdio's mobile app is not a native wrapper around HTML5, it's built on top of Xamarin's stack, which provides API wrappers around the native platform.

My guess is they have logs of every outbound TCP connection—it's not like Tor is the only protocol that can be used for evil.

Hi,

Our servers buckled a little bit under the load. We load-tested, but missed a piece of infrastructure in the chaos. We've since beefed up that last piece of infrastructure, and you should be all set now to use the download form at http://xamarin.com/download. If you're still having trouble, contact our support at support@xamarin.com. Cheers!

Windows app store explicitly disallows open source, I believe. Android is the only one that does not.

What existing applications besides RSS readers? Who uses PubSub and Webfinger, and why would I want to use Atom/RSS for this type of service?

I don't see the point in this trying to be everything to everyone sort of deal.

I hate to be that guy, but who gives a crap? I don't know of anyone who actually uses any of the first 3 protocols listed here. RSS is somewhat useful, but when would I not want to use a dedicated client or some client library?

I'm not a backer but I'd rather they spend time developing their MVP and building infrastructure so they don't have the same issues that were so pervasive in Twitter's early years (Fail Whale every hour, anyone?).

I think you grossly missed the point of Sparrow—as a webapp, it's 100% useless, because the current Gmail interface exists.

At best, they can take some UI/UX elements from Sparrow and incorporate them into Gmail as is, but porting it as a webapp or porting it to ChromeOS are both defeating the point of the app and platform, respectively.
