  1. @envatowebdev Your "agenda" has been exposed!
  2. @lazycoder @senfo We ditched U-verse for a Roku a while back and now just use the Xbox apps. Can't see us going back to regular TV service.
  3. @robconery Not blaming hardware. Obviously Mac hardware is nice (which is why I'm still using a MacBook Air after being given an Ultrabook).
  4. @johnsheehan @robconery <insert grammar correction here>
  5. @robconery I've had bad experiences with Bootcamp on mine.
  6. @robconery Compare that to trying to install Xcode in an OS X VM on Windows. It's cheaper to buy a spare Mac than getting that to work!
  7. @robconery Windows on the metal. Like your OS X install. I'm not condescending, but you can't use a crufty VM to judge their installer.
  8. Oracle's only hope to not be evil; buy virtue? RT @jen_bonnett: Atlanta Startup Vitrue reportedly acquired by Oracle: tcrn.ch/KyjQH3
  9. @robconery I doubt you'd have had that trouble on a real Windows machine or a fresh VM. Misplaced angst.
  10. @jongalloway @robconery Yeah, I haven't used VS2010 this year. VS11 all the way.
  11. Just published: Cheerio: A faster, Windows-friendly alternative to jsdom encosia.me/KpaLnX
  12. @johnsheehan @jongalloway I'd take that for testing if Jon doesn't want it.
  13. @CalebJenkins Congrats.
  14. @wbm I don't understand what you just said.
  15. @CharterAshley The commercial is fine. It's just funny that I'm seeing it so often on a platform where I'm clearly not interested in a DVR.
  16. I must have seen this Charter DVR commercial a dozen times... while watching Hulu+ on my Xbox. Fail.
  17. @kevindente @RickStrahl The problem is you only get the top element from that, even if several are overlapped in the same spot.
  18. @RickStrahl I don't think there's an API for that directly. You'd need to traverse the DOM and check every element's position for 10, 10.
