Much as I appreciate the effort that's gone into mediaelement.js, this looks worth exploring.

This is what the internet should be about: remotely setting things on fire.

"One of my pet peeves with previous versions of Illustrator was the “blurry effect” present in some line strokes or texts, as well as the absence of pixel-precise tools. You can avoid these problems with some of the new tools introduced in Illustrator CS5." Now if people would actually start using them.

"Sell digital goods such as music, videos, photos, e-books, PDF's, or software from any website, blog, social network, Goodsie shop, or Shopify store." OK then.

Aha, a worthwhile window switcher.

MacVim always felt like a half-step toward OS X (requiring the Janus distribution and a fork with a file browser to fill in the holes) where Vico is solidly an OS X app.

It's getting harder to stomach Spotify and other streaming services with any hat on.

"We break the package deal »you get our app, we get your data« with remoteStorage, a cross-origin data storage protocol separating application servers from data storage." Yes to the principle.
