About six months ago we began work in earnest on the second version of the Stack Exchange API.  A few months later, after a short private beta, we opened up a public beta with tantalizing prizes.

Now it’s time to announce the winners.

An Android app by Karan M, supporting all non-meta Stack Exchange sites and a view into your inbox.

Karan will be getting an iPad 2 the new iPad.

This open source app by Greg Hewgill drops your new inbox items into OS X’s menu bar.

Greg will be getting an Acer Aspire One. …

Q: Can StackExchange license Balsamiq for mockups on UX.Stackexchange?

MosheWho thinks it's a good idea for StackExchange to integrate with Balsamiq for UX.StackExchange? I do, and I'd be really happy if we had the ability to make mockups on UX for UX. This is something for SE to spend unicorn dollars on. Fogbugz has Balsamiq, UX should get it too!

@jokerdino It looks good to me, but I think it would be better to set the shortcuts in the Keyboard utility instead of CompizConfig Settings Manager, since it is installed by default and will work even when not using compiz.

Q: I upgraded to 11.10 - it's absolutely useless

KingsleyI had 11.04 and that was fine. Ubuntu offered the upgrade, and I've been doing that since 9.10. This version has removed all the programs and menus where it was easy to read and start applications. Now the programs are all gone.
