What if I want them to be purple! ;)

For those of you who are a fan of customizing the colors of message bubbles in Messages.app and don't like that Apple removed this ability as part of the iOSification of Yosemite, there's an app for that: https://github.com/kethinov/Bu...

I made this during the developer previews because I don't like the default puke green for most of my IM conversations. Hope this helps some people. Source code also available.

It's a bit of a circular argument to say that sprint planning meetings exist because product owners don't have time to frequently reassess priority on their own. Before Scrum really took off, I recall product owners having no trouble finding the time to own the issue tracker in this manner on a regular or even daily basis.

It seems to me everyone would have significantly more time for such things if there was less process in the way like unnecessarily verbose scrum meetings which can be replaced by less invasive forms of communication.

If anyone's really looking for a 21st century successor to Agile/Scrum, I would recommend checking out the "async" manifesto which was written in a manner deliberately parodying the agile manifesto: http://asyncmanifesto.org/

It's not shorter when you make an apples to apples comparison.

"Go google it" is equivalent to "go web search it."

More words and more characters, sure, but the same number of syllables.

Guilty as charged on all counts.

When will Firefox support killing CPU-hogging tabs individually?

That's the only killer feature from Chrome I'm waiting for to switch back to Firefox.

In Chrome, if I've got 50 tabs open (not uncommon) and one of them starts spiking my CPU, I can pull open Activity Monitor (on OS X) and kill the "Google Chrome Helper" that's eating all the CPU.

That kills the one tab that was the problem, not the whole browser. And lets me reload it when I actually care about that tab again.

I haven't found a similar way to imitate this workflow in Firefox.

The whole noscript / flashblock / adblock / etc approach hasn't worked. Tried it with Firefox, still had constant CPU issues after whitelisting sites I need JS or Flash turned on for, still had no way to kill runaway processes individually.

Both issues punish customers, as anyone who's ever wanted to save a Netflix movie for offline viewing on a flight can attest to.

Not that I disagree, but right now I'm just finding it funny how Hastings can complain about ISPs doing bad things while he remains conspicuously silent about Hollywood forcing draconian DRM into Netflix and, indirectly, into the HTML5 spec itself. Maybe the major ISPs should look into buying Hastings' silence too. It would help with their PR.

Apple seems to have removed the ability to customize the chat bubble colors in Messages.app in Yosemite. If you liked that feature (as I did) and want it back, I've got your back! https://github.com/kethinov/Bu...

This is why I don't understand why after all these years companies are still so reluctant to embrace telecommuting.

"We are hurrying back and forth across town at morning and night to situations which we could quite easily encompass by closed-circuit. Documents, contracts, data. All of these materials actually could be just as available on closed-circuit, at home." - Marshall McLuhan, 1965.

Try out Brackets http://brackets.io/

Very similar to Atom's architecture, also open source, more mature community, better visual design (IMO).

Can't believe some idiots are marking you "informative." Cuba ranks near the bottom of the Democracy Index. Try that socialism sucks argument again when a social democracy is failing so miserably.
