Not sure if it's quite what you mean, but have you seen: http://www.core77.com It's mostly about industrial design. There's often some cool stuff on there.

I don't quite follow.. what do you mean by decentralization? .. do you mean something like having your desktop settings on a central server? ..something like apple's new Mobile Me?

This reminds me of the bug report Linus Torvalds submitted when he couldn't figure out how to get youtube to work on linux. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439858

It depends, there are certain people whose opinion I respect more than others. Tech celebrities are a bit different from regular celebrities. It's (usually) not about what they look like and I'm sure most people you ask wouldn't know who so

They've got a linux parody in there as well.. it's something like www.eunuchs.com .. I'll see if I can find it. The thing I love about GTA4 is that the entire game is just one giant parody. It's great! :)

One change to ruby that would be useful, would be to make Enumerable.collect run in parallel. There's probably a whole bunch of other Enumerable methods that could be made to run in parallel as well.

Probably not. You make a fair point. :) But I still do enjoy reading all the anecdotes and slightly off topic stuff. I think that if it was too polished it would lose its edge. The raw/unedited nature of his writing is what I like about it.

A great read. Steve Yegge is a super smart guy. I personally think his longish style is great. I like to be able to read an article for a good 20 minutes. I wish more bloggers wrote articles with as much depth and passion as Stevey. Paul Gr

This reminds me of a question that a university lecturer of mine asked.. "Tell me the biggest number you can think of" Just try it. :) It's actually not that easy, since there are always more numbers that are bigger. The challenge is around

If I'm looking for stuff about a topic in general I could see this as being useful. I sometimes use del.icio.us as a poor mans search engine to find interesting but somewhat more obscure stuff.
