Curious. Now it shows all the shows. (Never tried the iTunes one). I tried on multiple browsers and platforms, and it only showed shows up to episode 7. But now it looks good, thanks!

Hi Thomas. That's strange. We just checked in iTunes and it's pulled down all the shows. The RSS feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/PingdomsMobileAndInternetPodcast) also shows all the shows. We've enabled the HTML5 version of the web player, but it's still an "experimental feature" according to SoundCloud.

Hi, Is it possible to bring the RSS-feed up to date, or is there some reason why it's four episodes behind? The flash player is kind of hard to use while commuting (it tends to fail pretty hard on android for me at least). Otherwise, great show, keep it up!

Facebook’s amazing growth potential

Facebook

Earlier this week we studied what countries around the world had lost and gained the most Facebook users over the past 6 months. With Facebook going public today, we thought we’d take a quick look at where the social network has the greatest potential for growth.

vector graphics

Display resolutions are increasing every year, something that’s being taken to its extreme with the recent “retina display” trend that came with the latest iPad. The jump in onscreen pixels is massive, and such displays are soon bound to make their way into regular laptops and desktop displays, perhaps as soon as this year.

This development will have a profound effect on the size of the graphics resources necessary for websites, which ultimately will make websites bigger, more bloated and slower to download. That is, if we don’t change tactics.
