I'm glad Loren will be joining the team and there will be a Twitter for iPad, but what is the implication for all the 3rd party applications if Twitter has official versions on these platforms?

Given that Apple knows a lot about people's buying history and demographics from the iTunes store (music, apps, etc.), I expect they're going to be able to target these ads pretty effectively. I predict you'll see Apple being pretty selecti

I think Amazon would do well to add color support to Kindle e-books for use on iPads and iPhones. The Kindle app for iPad already supports color. I downloaded the Kindle sample of the graphic novel "The Impostor's Daughter", and it displa

I posted a nearly duplicate comment (now deleted). My iPad has successfully located me in the Maps application in several different places. It's actually quite accurate.

I'm using it for small, very low-traffic projects, so I'd also be interested in hearing about larger sites using GAE. Also curious whether they're using Python, Java or something running on the JVM like Clojure.

Bear in mind that Netflix streaming doesn't typically include the latest popular releases (hey, that's what iTunes Movie Store is for, right?) However, they do have a pretty decent selection of titles. At the moment, just over 25% of my nea

Could somebody with an Android phone please determine whether they went all the way through with building an Android app? It appears you can only search the marketplace from a handset.

Gootodo (now called Goodtodo) is the best solution I've found. It's simple, without categories, tags or priorities (other than sorting by position). The differentiators for me are: calendar-based to-dos. I can create a to-do that I don't ac

Jason Kottke covered this at a higher level, where consumers are taking into account the format of the media and not just the content in their reviews (unlike your average critic working for big media). http://kottke.org/10/03/the-new-rule

I'm no color theorist, but it's confusing to me why he would think the numbers for the perfect blue have to add up to 255 across all three channels. By that logic, wouldn't the perfect color white would be R:85 G:85 B:85 (or #555555)?

Using existing infrastructure (the printing press) to open up to niche markets during press downtime isn't a bad idea for newspapers. The example of football (soccer) teams printing their own short-run publication and distributing it at an

I adore my Kindle and use it every day, but I have never once tried to browse the web on it. Instapaper's Kindle integration handles any longer web pages I might want to read on the Kindle.
