Shameless self-promotion but as opposed to lean, how about beautiful domain search courtesy of nametoolkit.com and Twitter Bootstrap?


Yes, please do give it a look, we're currently A/B testing a new theme and we could use feedback. Namecheap are certainly better than Godaddy but they're still nowhere near as simple as using our service.


Thanks, Mark. But I don't see anything on your site about how to transfer a domain. Also, I need email forwarding, as well as the usual DNS stuff.

Good luck your new service! Congrat's on the press.


1. Google is NEVER going into the auto business, but they'll licence or even donate their software to run on any auto manufacturers car.

2. The auto manufacturers will only tepidly roll this out very with tons of regulatory and legal tiptoeing.

3. The end user will have to sign away any legal rights to recourse and/or the government(s) will have to amend statutory rights accordingly before the first cars hit the road.

4. It will happen, eventually. It will save hundreds of thousands of lives/year.

Of course, as you're riding down the road in your Google-powered driverless car, there will be ads on the dashboard monitor, paid for by the businesses you pass by on your route.


3. The end user will have to sign away any legal rights to recourse and/or the government(s) will have to amend statutory rights accordingly before the first cars hit the road.

Since the end user will probably not be the plaintiff "The care you made owned by my neighbor ran over my son!" it will have to be a statutory fix IMO.

Question: How do you get "hundreds of thousands of lives per year?" How much safer do you expect these to be and where do you expect them to be driven?


I wonder if the use of this patent, and any associated software, would be tied to Android or other Google services.



I haven't checked this out, all I'm saying is it looks a LOT like http://mobile.twitter.com. Same border, same pull down to refresh. Mobile web FTW.


Can't wait for the announcement that they accidentally deleted all of the lines of code for IE-specific hacks.


(cough) Public transport (cough)


Exactly why we moved to CoffeeScript, without it you need to rigorously enforce coding conventions. This entails watching for missing vars, using jslint, having a script that searches for accidentally declared globals, only declaring vars at the top of a function, among other best practices. With CS you get all of that just by using it. If you can write high-standard code using a simpler, terser syntax, why avoid it?


Great idea, love the simplicity of the interface (audio jack), just bought one. Best of luck guys


Exactly why we created http://nametoolkit.com, I've used Gandi and they're not bad, but even their interface is a bit clunky, makes you click twice (to commit the DNS change you've just submitted).
