your probably thinking of http://wrongtomorrow.com/ which no longer seems to be up - and it never seemed to get much traction anyways.

I want to know why I can't. Nobody has said why, just that you can't


Well, what was it? and did he stump them?


Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard#History) reports: Work for it began in March 1985 under the name of WildCard


I believe they did phone-a-friend to a retired Apple employee that worked with Bill to get that answer.

The best part was the host paused and told us all that we most likely would not be here in the giant room if it were not for Bill's early contributions (QuickDraw). That was when we gave him the standing ovation.


The best question was what was the first Apple with an Intel chip.


I challenge Hacker News...


iPod touches are traditionally updated when the iPod line is refreshed in the fall.


General consensus is that the stock was converted (to common shares) and sold sometime in 2003.


BeOS is believed to have gone to of Palm in the hardware/software split. That means ACCESS owns Be.


Something is odd with this web page. At least using chrome on Win7 x64.

I have VS2008 and SQLProfiler, even the Windows Task manager open in the background and they all have parts flickering every ~4 seconds when this page is opened in chrome.

For example in Visual studio the Solution Explorer is refreshing every four seconds.

anybody have any ideas? it's kind of unnerving. Or maybe it's just me.


I just tried it with a few configurations. And I can conclude that it's not just you.

With Chrome and VS2008 with a project open I at least get the Solution Explorer refreshes you described. I don't have time to investigate further right now but my first reaction was that it was a bit scary that a webpage would be able to influence a separate application like that... But a more likely scenario is that VS has hooked up a debugger to the thread and it triggers this behavior.

I don't have any experience with .NET on the web, so I can't say for sure. But I am for sure going to bookmark this and have a look at it later.

Thanks! :)


except it's not just VS, Outlook had certain elements flicker too.

If you go to the chrome options page, and look at the under the hood tab, that whole scroll region flickers too.

Chrome's task manager shows that silverlight is loaded somewhere on that page. maybe that is it.


Safari/OSX it would bring the browser to the foreground every couple of seconds. Even if Safari was hidden. Very irritating.
