> realizing that best user experiences come from harmony between hardware and software

You mean there are some Windows specific features in their tablet? Which? And why couldnt they have asked the other manufacturers to implement them?

Does not really work. Because it just renders stuff in an iframe. But actual devices behave quite differently. For example an ipad fools the website about its pixel size. So it renders very different from how its displayed here.

For example meteor.com fits nicely into my ipad and even into my android phone. But this page makes it look like it does not fit at all.

Also tried other sites and had the same effect. Sites that have no magic css/js to cope with different screen sizes or devices. They work on the devices and not on this website.

The article refers to changing the world and is illustrated with a photo of Ghandi. I don't know about you, but I get a strange feeling when Ghandi is used to illustrate the values of a company that is exploiting poor people to make toys for rich people.

This reminds me of a startup mantra from the 90s: Eat like a fly, poop like an elephant.

So far there is nothing. A website with a music player and a share-on-facebook button. But the blog post sounds like Andy already turned this thing into a billion dollar company and now bows down to the mere mortals to share the wisdom he gathered. On his heroic journy to fame and riches.

1) Chat doesnt work here. Im on Firefox 7.01

2) I see a guy and he looks like hes chatting with someone. So I probably see the wrong stream?

3) When I switch, only the text switches. The video stream stays the same.

In other words: Nothing works.

Normaly I would not answer someone who calls my writing "bs". But since its a public discussion, I want to get the facts straight:

I pay 42% taxes on income.

I pay medical insurance on my own.

I dont have unemployment or retirement insurance.

From the numbers people seem to put in their gross income.

I would find it interestin to see how much is taken away by the goverment for different salaries and locations.

In Germany, the government takes away roughly 50% of your income.

What surprises me is that you want to earn some extra cash while you are already have a (i guess) fulltime job. What impact would the extra money have on your life?
