    Hi Robert,
    Can I kindly request that the Developer Engagement team bio’s are not added to the bottom of every Hacks Weekly? It shows up in a single column on Planet & via Google Reader (the main way I view). Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like marketing with no value & each post is way longer than it needs to be. Please keep it nice & concise
    BTW, I enjoy Hacks Weekly, a great way to keep up with Dev news.

      Hi,

      Thanks, glad you like Hacks Weekly!
      We discussed the Developer Engagement bios last week, actually, and my reasons for having them in there.

      I’m open for suggestions, though, or if everyone don’t want them I’ll have to find another way.

    The MIDI spec is to access devices using the MIDI protocol (e.g.: MIDI keyboards and live performance controllers, external synthesizers). This is *great* news, and definitely not a regresssion, as it will allow competitive music-editing apps in the browser.

    Maxime,

    Glad you are excited about it! And I agree that things making the web browser a better platform for music is welcome!
