Enlightening video as always. The most interesting bit was the analysis of how the bills are worded. Grouping in sites that enable or facilitate so called theft of U.S. property clearly shows how dangerous this bill could be to the internet.

John goes over how and why the new CS videos will be taught using JavaScript+HTML5 in these youtube videos:

I would guess Ryan used https://stripe.com to set up reoccurring billing for Pro.

So will we be seeing an episode or maybe an advanced episode on how Ryan set up reoccurring billing for Railscasts?

actually I looked into the source of the credit card form before buying. It shows braintree was used ;-)

Check out this tutorial on stripe. It has a pretty clear step by step instructions on how to get it work with Ruby.

In fact, only slight modification needed to make it work with Rails. But, if you are interested, I can write a blog post about it.

Which tutorial are you referring to? I need that!

I plan to cover more billing/payment topics in future Pro episodes, thanks for the suggestion!

Heroku's cedar stack can now detect apps using:

  * Ruby
  * Node.js
  * Clojure
  * Python
  * Go ??
  * Scala
  * PHP
  * Java
  * Perl ??

Anything missing here? That covers a lot of whats out there.

R -- http://groups.google.com/group/rrook/browse_thread/thread/33... (although detect isn't really the case, but run certainly is)

Scala works on Heroku: https://github.com/lstoll/heroku-playframework-scala

Everything else? Because you can just deploy anything actually?

Google is starting to become a lot less minimal. I like their current design direction but as the OP stated in the article the cruft is starting to build up.

Google needs to provide very simple native syncing apps that are equivalent to or better then Dropbox's and at the same time support several different platforms out of the gate to draw people away from Dropbox.

Yes, and that's an awful lot of work. More likely they'll launch something less functional than Dropbox, but good enough to slow Dropbox down a little while Google focuses on competing with Facebook.

From a user perspective, it'd be nice if it just came with Chrome.

I'm sure Dropbox would be horrified

Wouldn't this just be a company's logo or slogan? (ie Nike: Just Do It).

no, that's a mantra:
