A better Twitter search

If you've not noticed already the search in Twitter has been downgraded to 7 days history. In fact, that changed some time ago. I've had the good fortune to be able to ask Twitter employees directly about the history via attending Devnest and I've been assured the history is being kept. That doesn't solve [...]

JSONP request in Adobe Air

With the jQuery API browser my key aim was to build an app that worked both in the Adobe Air environment and without any changes work on the web.
