It needs some easing and transitions to let the user know what's happening.

Maemo has a similar date picker, by the way. It's vertically, and the scrolling is more intuitive partially due to this fact.


To be fair, although my phone has SSH, Samba, and Transmission for torrents, it can't print until I install a third-party program (and it's still cumbersome).


I've also found that you don't even need the pot. If you prepare an excess of boiling water and use some to pre-heat your bowl and cover, it's possible to actually cook the couscous sufficiently.


Don't worry, I like the direct link to the video better :)


As do I.

Seriously, I love the Google-foo/showdown challenges that sometimes a HN reader poses. This search was easy.


Maybe I'm jaded, but I like it the way it is.

Too many features and we will soon become reddit :/


I'm working on a Flash game using Flixel for a contest on Newgrounds. There haven't been many submissions so I'm basically just trying to get it done by the deadline :)


I know I just read something amazing, but my head hurts.


I thought the new iPhone allowed background applications...? Why can't they play music all the time?

Edit: No really, I'm just asking. Why can't they? Is it banned? I honestly remember hearing the hoopla around background applications a few months ago.


They allowed push notifications, which are a serviceable substitute for some reasons you might want to run in the background. You can not actually have code running when your app isn't in the foreground.


The new iPhone does not allow background applications.

The iPhone does enable Notifications, which allow you to receive an aim message, for instance, while you are not running the AIM application, but this is more akin to having AIM send a special version of a text message to your phone, asking you to open AIM to see the full message.

There are ways to use background applications on Jailbroken iPhones, but the UI isn't designed for it, and they run slowly on anything less than a 3gs.


Other possible interesting graphs:

  * Number of years in industry v. income
  * Hours per week v. family status
  * Age v. Employment type
  * Level of education v. Employment type
  * Marital status v. Employment type
  * Age v. Hours per week


This isn't another viral marketing campaign for FogBugz is it?
