That's correct.

I just tried loading it with jQuery 1.4.1 and got the error: "$.type is not a function". So I replaced the $.type use with something else.

If using jQuery 1.4.x is important to you, you can download it again. I just pushed the fix to GitHub.


Hey Mike -

Good point about the video demos.

If you have your own version of jQuery running on your site, you can have Optimizely exclude jQuery from the project bundle. Check out this for more info:

If you have any other questions, you can contact us through support.

I haven't fully analyzed it but my gut instinct would be to raise the prices by 30%, then explicitly state to the end user that the 30% surcharge is because of Apple. This way its transparent to the end user, and it could put some pressure on Apple to lower its fees.


Initially I thought this, but Amazon has to pass on 70% of the sale to the publisher, and with Apple taking 30%, regardless of how much the ebook was sold for, Amazon is left with nothing.


Do you think this is deliberate on Apple's part to force a change in publishing contracts?


Possibly, but I think it's more likely that Apple is trying to get publishers into its iBooks store by edging out Kindle and Sony.


For those advanced programmers in the audience, Javascript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford is more appropriate.

Or just read through his site: http://javascript.crockford.com/


That has easily been one of my favorite programming books so far. It's a programming language book for programmers. Every language needs something like it.

I only wish his linter were better. I haven't poked at the recent update (!) very much, but it was almost un-usably incorrect for quite a while, and removes one of my favorite tools for making javascript look nicer: functions as objects (ie, with properties). Instead, he preaches a super-watered-down version where functions are mere constructors for objects, and nothing else.


Sounds like you probably removed the enamel. Lack of enamel can cause tooth decay. Although you have a cap, which could protect you. Still, did you think about that?

Did you at least discuss with a dentist first?!


He removed the enamel from his artificial cap?


Yeah, it was a porcelain cap, not a real tooth I polished, porcelain is basically like glass.


Here's one I made that I think you'll like: encalc.com

It does computer algebra, like integrate(x^2), as well as physical constants, like coulombs or hbar. I made a draggable graphing calculator for it, but it was too slow so I never released it.


This project really challenges a lot of my assumptions. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

I'm going to sleep on it.


How about defining views?


Agreed. You don't know what you don't know. A mentor can help you learn the topics in the most effective order, offer suggestions that you wouldn't otherwise find, and motivate you on your bad days.


A related assumption is that the best way to learn is through classes or lectures. I can learn faster by reading, experimenting, and asking questions when I'm stuck. Forums are your friend.
