Analyzing Network Characteristics Using JavaScript And The DOM, Part 1 - Smashing Coding
As Web developers, we have an affinity for developing with JavaScript. Whatever the language used in the back end, JavaScript and the browser are the primary language-platform combination available at the user’s end. It has many uses, ranging from silly to experience-enhancing.
Rocketbox
Over time the Mac App Store will become the primary way Mac users purchase their software. Unfortunately this is a marketplace that Rocketbox will not be allowed into. Rocketbox is a Mail plugin which is unsupported by Apple and not allowed in the Mac App Store. As more software moves to the Mac App Store it will become increasingly difficult to sell Rocketbox through a third party website.

Occupy Wall Street: where are the migrants? | openDemocracy
As a first-generation migrant in the United States, the demographics of the Occupy Wall Street Protest intrigues me just enough to notice that there are no conspicuous migrant populations protesting. Where in the so-called masses representing the 99% of America are the East-Asians and South-Asians from Asia? The West-African women from Africa or the Eastern-European men from Europe? This to me is a primary indicator of how heterogeneous the Occupy Wall Street campaign is in a locale as glaringly diverse as New York City in a nation built at the hands of migrant labour.
Daring Fireball Linked List: Against Close Buttons
Gestures, to me, are the touchscreen equivalent of keyboard shortcuts: a convenient alternative, but almost never a good choice for the primary interface for a task. So, sure, it’d be nice if you could flick pages to the top of the screen to close them in Mobile Safari, but keep the red close button there too.

Il vaut mieux être capable de lire ça que d'être aveugle. En tout cas je ne sais pas où il vit, mais il n'a apparemment jamais vu les milliers de personnes essayant débilement tous les gestes possibles parce que justement, ils ne voyaient pas comment faire autrement avec leur périphérique iOS.

JF: To what can you attribute the growth with Opera? You’ve indicated that some of this is from emerging markets. Can you elaborate? KF: Opera has been a great partner and has really helped us get this going within their huge user base. To some degree, our current customers reflect the distribution of Opera Mini users. Many of these are in emerging markets such as India, Indonesia and Russia, where the mobile phone is the primary means of accessing the Internet for many people. However, we are seeing a lot of traffic from North America and Western Europe as well. User engagement – measured in visits per user and page views per visit – is strong around the world.

ahaha.Yes, it's probably not possible to quit your primary job because of App sales, but you don't lose anything by trying, and an extra $1K a year or so can help pay for computer upgrades, a cheap vacation somewhere, software...
