I would love to know how they pulled this off.


Presumably it's Java. Disassembly is quite easy and can even produce quite readable source.


Obfuscated code, auto-downloads APKs, presumably to 'self update' but no one is sure.

Use it with a demo account.


Should be called "How the 4 hour work week can backfire"


What backfiring? Getting fired? You can get fired even for being there and doing good work. You can get fired even if working overtime (plenty of people have). For most companies you are nothing, a mere "human resource".

At least the guy had lots of fun and free time doing his thing for while it latest. I don't see any backfiring.


"What backfiring? Getting fired?... I don't see any backfiring."

Yes, being fired was the "backfiring" here, as in a-direct-consequence-of-actions.

Sure, you can lose your job for no fault of your own, too, but you seem to be conflating the inherent unpredictability of life to the level of cause-and-effect.


This is awesome, they were a hackathon project. Congrats guys! http://blog.railsrumble.com/blog/2010/11/01/zencoder-winner


No split windows yet... still hoping.


This was the first thing I looked for in the feature list and after I started it up for the first time. Thought for sure I was missing it some where. Looks like I'm not the only one.

Next, I was looking for fullscreen... Surely it's here, but I'm not seeing it.

These 2 features alone are huge to me and reasons I still stick with MacVim despite it feeling/being clumsy at times. It just doesn't have that same polish, look, feel that TextMate has. Sublime is nice I guess, but I just can't get into it (I still bought a license to try out and support the efforts).


I got tired of waiting and moved to Sublime Text 2 for this reason alone. Three columns at once is glorious.


Be sure to drop by in ##textmate on freenode, the discussion on how to implement and use split windows is not really making progress so far.


That is simply depressing. I went to Vim for this alone, and, well now I'm addicted to Vim.


Emacs, baby, every single day of the week!


Emacs with a vim plugin solved my editing problems.


Seriously? Wow.


Yep, the slide out menu seems to be popping up everywhere now to.
