I wrote a javascript file that does exactly what you mention, from Launchbar. You can take a screenshot, give it a file type, compression rate, etc and it auto gets the url and stores the image in a intelligent manner.

ie.

Key functionality: it uploads screenshot, files and stores them on ~/Dropbox/Public/screenshots/year/month/timestamp.jpg for screenshots and ~/Dropbox/Public/files/year/filename.ext for files.

However, what you propose seems interesting. I think I'll implement a variation of that for my script.

Cheers.

When I work with a company that it's on another timezone. I change my timezone myself to be awake and working when everyone else is working in the office. Even if it means I need to work from 10pm through 6 am.

I'm a remote worker that usually works with companies from the other side of the world and usually travels once or twice a year to do in-location jobs. But that's only when they pay is good enough / I'm interested in working with the people that hire me.

I don't know how I feel about this. To tell you the truth, I already did some small use test with 2 users (medium and advanced). And they both have a bit of trouble understanding what that sign was for.

It also didn't help the fact that the outline of the password was distracting: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/4651065/files/2012/3/Screen%20Sho...

The idea itself is interesting, though without previous explanation or knowledge it's just hard to guess what it is about.

To me it seems that he wanted to go the CSS3 way rather than the Facebook way of doing things (multiple dom elements for single UI parts).

I just hope this doesn't inspire people to really shake the macbooks so hard to cause a disk problem or any other hardware issue.

I advise you add a disclaimer for this? ;)

I tried to work with PHPFog. Didn't come out as expected. I had trouble with their git workflow; you can't pull stuff from their servers. Interesting huh?

In any case the support was pretty good.

I wouldn't buy in €. I live in Mexico and my brain is wired to do monetary conversion from Mexican Peso to USD (since it's what most sites where I buy use).

I buy stuff from e-shops and rent web services like Heroku, Github and so on.

I'm a Compass contributor and lover and I'm working on a framework which will provide the ultimate set of tools for front-end engineers.

Currently it's still undocumented and there are no examples; the project will gradually grow after I find some time to write some tests, but you can check it out here: https://github.com/kuroir/Survival-Kit

Survival Kit is to Compass(SASS) what Rails is to Ruby(Core-Library).

The point you make is totally valid; and now that I think about it, when I was able to see the upvotes I could at a glance identify the answers with one or more of the following:

1. Correct Answer (real, like a founder answering about his app). 2. Popular Answer (comedy, something people "lol" to).

Identifying the difference between those two is done with only common sense; but supposing you still lack of that, you can still feel what the community liked by looking at the numbers.

"50 upvoted this" that must mean something vs "3 upvoted this"...

Doesn't the icons on the bar limit the amount of accounts the user can have?

Also note that Apple has some kind of regulations (and they're very strict) regarding the UI.

I personally love the fact the docked mail listing expands to the right since I have a dual 27'' setup. So it would make me sad if they changed this.

The preview part basically breaks what Gmail has polished over the years, and to me it doesn't feel that useful to have the title on the messages, since most of them are RE:

I like the easier access to "tags"; but I'm concerned that the approach you're using would become problematic since I have many tags (I'm a gmail power user who gets around 50 mails avg. which get filtered through different tags via regexp).

But overall good job! I like when people expose their ideas. It's a good way to get lazy people like me to debate on decisions.

Kudos.

Before going into the Downvote thing, why do you upvote? It varies from person to person, but.. lets make some assumptions.

Someone may upvote someone's post because..

1. It adds something to the discussion... or

2. It's funny.. or

3. They agree about it.. or

4. they just want to troll... or

5. they like that person.. or

6. all of above.

And with that I you can pretty much say that you would downvote doing the exact opposite.

Someone may downvote someone's post because..

1. It doesn't add something to the discussion... or

2. It isn't funny.. or

3. they disagree about it.. or

4. they find you're trolling... or

5. they dislike that person.. or

6. all of above.

So yeah, in the mind Disagree = Downvote
