iOS (even iPad) won't autoplay
An element with background-attachment: fixed won't respect that property when it's over a video in webkit
IE10 will show a black image while it's loading unless you set a poster property
In IE9, loop only works if the video is also autoplay
If you try to play a video in IE10 before it's ready, you will see black for a bit. This is a bummer, because autoplay is probably turned on for IE9.
I had mixed results getting videos to autoplay on Android. And a fair amount of browser crashing. In fact, in the end, I just disabled video altogehter.
On iOS, I created a play button (just an a) link, that when clicked takes the video from display:none to display:block while triggering the .play() API on the video element. This made the video go fullscreen on iPhone and play inline on iPad.

Download https://github.com/benbahrenburg/benCoding.AlarmManager/archive/master.zip
cd into the Module directory
Run brew install ant android-ndk

Edit build.properties to match your local enviornment. Mine looks like this:

 titanium.platform=/Users/reinhard/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/3.0.2.GA/android
 android.platform=/Users/reinhard/Documents/Android SDK/platforms/android-8

Lets look at how Facades work in Laravel 4 by investigating the flow of one of the facaded classes: URL. As in <?=URL::route('news')?>.

The logic flow

As you'll see in the summary, this isn't exactly described in the procedural order your app is executed. But I think it serves to explain what's going on.

The app config has an aliases array. In there is: 'URL' => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL'. If you look up that class, you'll see it just has this: protected static function getFacadeAccessor() { return 'url'; } and that it inherits from Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade. We'll get back to this later.
Lets now turn to how the app boots up. The /vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/start.php bootstrap file calls registerAliasLoader() on an instance of Illuminate\Foundation\Application.

Adding Memcache and Redis to MAMP 2.1.3 (PHP 5.3.20)

Not sure how long this will be good for, but here's an easy path to adding Memached and Redis support to MAMP 2.1.3. It depends on the fact that, right now, the Homebrew PHP project and MAMP are using the same versions of PHP. This assumes you have Homebrew and MAMP 2.1.3 installed. I'll just be describing the process for PHP 5.3.20.

Make sure you've tapped homebrew-dupes and homebrew-php with: brew tap homebrew/dupes and brew tap josegonzalez/php.
Install memcached and redis for PHP Homebrew: brew install php53-memcache and brew install php53-redis.
Go into MAMP and navigate to: File menu > Edit Template > PHP > PHP 5.3.2.0 php.ini.
