Fixed. Very sorry.

Mea culpa. Like I said in the post, I'm not a blogger. I just threw some static html up not thinking of how it would interact with my site styles when needed to scroll. There's now a bit of UA sniffing in there that will display a simple text version if viewed on an iOS device.

As an aside, is it really so unusual to see an iOS (or any mobile platform developer) ignorant of their platform's corner-cases when it comes to things like mail or the web? We spend all our time on laptops coding, just like everyone else ;-)

FYI, an app submitted to the app store is available everywhere by default (there's an "everywhere" checkbox). If you want to limit its availability, you have to go in and specifically check the regions it'll be available in.

So yeah, it's harder to distribute US-only than to the world. Not sure what The Daily's reasoning is there.

User: I think this feels laggy.

Developer: No you don't. I have the benchmarks to prove it.

How about we compare the N1 (released Jan 5th, 2010) with the first gen iPhone (released June 29th, 2007)? Even the 2007 iPhone had smooth scrolling/compositing/animation and was always responsive to touch gestures. I'm pretty sure you can't claim a phone made three years before the N1 had an unfair technology advantage, right?

Given employees of small service companies sometimes deal with clients more often than they deal with their own families, it's not unreasonable to posit these clients act as a "bubble" that insulates the company from the world at large.

What's laughable is Joel's implicit assumption that the majority of 37s clients are, apparently, Chicagoans. How charmingly pre-internet of him.

Hey! Ad-hominem the 37 signals if you must, but leave Chicago out of it!

Yes.

You're going to judge someone not by the merits of their arguments but by the topics which they've chosen to argue? That is a weak, disgusting, small-minded practice that has no place on HN. You should be ashamed.
