I'm just saying that the apps in the Social Networking category don't appeal to me and don't solve any huge issue I'm currently having in my social life. They also don't want to make me tell my friends about them which is the entire goal of the developers... to get as many downloads as possible.

The interesting thing about "the mobile web" is that devices that display web content on them, that fit in your pocket, aren't nearly as limited as "the mobile web" played them to be back when technologists were discussing this next, new wave. I was also hesitant to dive deep into mobile development in years past because I knew that technology would get better and the limitations I'd be designing for would either change or be eliminated in short order.

They're doing it to get attention, to get people to buy it, to sell more ads. The article has little to do with the current misconceptions of Barack Obama so the cover and the article just aren't in sync at all. I was expecting a thorough breakdown of all the things people think Obama is and then a history of why people think that, but instead I got a history of his civil service work in Chicago. Gotta be a ploy just to get people riled up.

Ozone, I'm glad you got yours updated. Lots of people are having issues.

If you haven't downloaded the Bloomberg app yet, I highly recommend it. It beats the hell out of the buggy NY Times app and the light-text-on-black-background theme is far easier to read.

Ouch, now ABC News is running with an iPhone activation horror story. I feel for everybody who can't fully use their new iPhone 3G or OS 2.0 yet and am extremely glad I did the manual update last night. OS 2.0 for the win!

Haven't used Loopt yet, seems to be a more useful app if you're in a major metropolitan area.

Just a quick note for my Jailbroken brethren. Last night I went into iTunes and downloaded the 1.1.4 update, then made sure to fully back everything up before restoring. I had a Jailbroken version of 1.1.1 and the process took about 30 minutes from start to finish. Make sure to get all your legitimate iPhone ducks in line before trying any fancy App Store stuff or who knows what will happen.

(Note: I have no idea if this process will work correctly with Unlocked iPhones running on different networks so if you're one of those people, I'm sure you're already aware of the issues.)

I think the Wife and I are just going to a friend's house for a cookout. Might watch some fireworks, might not, not really sure. Not as exciting as goin' out in downtown Tampa but what can ya do.

I guess I've always been confused because if women aren't signing up to perform in porn movies (even the most ridiculously offensive ones) then there is no more porn.

I understand that people get trapped in situations that call for extreme measures (putting food on the table for a young one for example) but Cooper is your argument that women that have few options are essentially forced to do porn against their better judgment? Couldn't getting a crappy fast food job be another option? I just never really bought into the argument that 1) men force women to do porn, 2) women have no options so they do it.

I'm not going to beat around the issue here... the people in charge of running and building a business with Twitter are idiots. Plain. Old. Idiots.

There are probably a half dozen ways that Twitter could make revenue, starting tomorrow. They have openly said that they will not ever serve ads, so there goes a few options. Their stability sucks so much that offering a higher-level of service uptime for $$$ is gone too. They just keep shooting themselves in the feet, over and over. Twitter could have been making money all along but they gave away the cow and the milk and it's hard to take that back.

I imagine somebody was eating a banana one day, slipped on a CD on the floor (scratching it), then in the process of falling backwards his banana wiped across the CD and repaired it in mid-air.

fuscom: I imagine at ITT Tech.

I don't think it'll slide out like we're used to. Maybe it'll all be magnetic and will glide out on it's own when you're thinking about typing... integration straight with your brain.

This is really screwed up and kills the legitimacy of gaming in general. The goal for games is to be challenging but for you to be able to advance if you're skillful. This pulls it down to the level of roulette.

Also it should be mentioned that the algorithm that the author used to find this out is somewhat flawed so it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Decriminalizing marijuana and taxing the hell out of it would make a metric ton of money that states and the federal government could use to do some real good in the country. Like more nuclear reactors and wind farms to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources. Or hell, anything else that our country needs to do.

I think if people abused it then they'd just end up stoned and at their house lounging around all day, all the while paying through the nose to do so. Doesn't seem that harmful unless you put a dollar figure up against lost productivity.

I think the problem with this lies in how Google crawls the SWFs. If they're just pulling out an abundance of plaintext then it's essentially useless because there's no meaning behind the data. If there's a way to attach semantic meaning to Flash information (when developing the SWF) then it will be useful.

I don't know if there's already a way to do this within Flash... any Flash developers want to chime in?

Tyme's definitely got a point about people at work not having control over their installed browser. IT departments may be lazy but it's not the users' fault, they have to deal with whatever decisions are made by other departments.

I've always been a fan of fixed-width layouts because of line-length readability issues that creep up in fluid page designs. Many studies regarding line-length readability have been conducted, and with very few dissenting opinions, optimal readability and comprehension levels for the participants were found to lie at around 60 CPL (characters per line) or around 12 medium-sized words per line. When you start expanding the columns out with a fluid layout you sacrifice comprehension and readability.

People following you on Twitter could think of it as an RSS feed for your personal life and thoughts. I'm a little frightened by the amount of people who follow me on Twitter so now I try to think twice before posting (whenever I actually do post) because in head there's "more on the line" when people are actively listening.

Looks a ton better, nice to see the ugly menu and header get some refreshed treatment.

Honey Nut Clusters Of Oats or something.
