This is so cool. I can now read kindle books on my ubuntu laptop without setting up kindle for pc + wine ugliness.

Logic Studio. There is Cubase on Windows that comes close in functionality but is nowhere as intuitive and easy to use.

Great work! Linux users now officially love you :-)

Grooveshark has been working fine on Ubuntu for me. What were the issues people reported?

edit: just tried the site in Firefox ; can't even get the sign-in form to react. :(

Seems OK in Chrome, but at least the Flash version worked in FF for me.

If you're really having trouble, the flash version is still available at http://retro.grooveshark.com

We tested pretty extensively in Firefox, but there's always things that can go wrong. Also if you think you have any info that will help us fix it, hit up the Contact Us link at the bottom of http://help.grooveshark.com/

Well, if I run FF from a different account it seems OK, so my guess is that the scripting is not playing well with Greasemonkey or Firebug or some other add-on.

So, on the one had, the trouble is at my end, but on the other hand most sites have no trouble with my add-on arrangements, so there's something that's at least a little sensitive in the GS scripting.

Follow up: Disabled add-ons to see if one was causing trouble, and it's Flashblock 1.5.13. Usually it shows a placeholder you can click to allow the Flash object to run, but it doesn't seem to show for me.

Seems like there's even less features for VIP users now. Fantastic. Also, boo.

The login form worked for me only the second time I tried it... First time just closed the window and didn't update the information.

Make sure you enable flash for the page, seems like it's still a requirement.

I keep having to reload in the latest Chromium builds.

Thanks for feedback! We are planning to implement site themes feature so users can choose the one they like.

Probably best to make the default on the homepage somewhat more readable though.

Who's your target market for this product? The styling on the homepage is pretty tech/minimal, but if you're going after the home user maybe something more light-hearted would be appropriate? I can see people using the videos to create custom Christmas or Birthday messages, but style-wise that market probably respond better to something more like: http://www.moonpig.com/uk/

By the way, I made a video for someone and they loved it... their first reaction was that they wanted to make one too.

I'm in the same position as you, looking for a good linux laptop. Haven't found one yet.

I had a chance to play with Thinkpad t410 and x201 and I have to say they weren't as good as I expected. There was very strange whining noise emitting from the cpu area and displays were just awful. I heard that the noise problem persists with newer Core i3/i5/i7 Thinkpads.

this is somewhere at the end of my todo list, thanks for reminding me :-)
