Alex Martelli I recognise; he's a python guru (behind the Python Cookbook, among other things) now working at google. There's a couple of excellent tech-talks on (mostly) advanced python by him that are well worth watching if you use pytho

My gut feeling is that the mobile arena might be where html5 takes off first, with the number of webkit-based browsers out there now (iphone, android).

I'm almost willing to cut them some slack on that point since this is a bugfix release (it might just be the function that lists the bugs fixed). But I'd rather focus on the comedy :)

Yet another endorsement for a conical burr grinder. I like good coffee, without believing my pallet is that sophisticated, but I recently switched from a blade grinder and couldn't believe the difference (and consistency of results, probab

I always wondered about that; there's an excellent tech-talk by Rob Pike on newsqueak here that I watched some time ago: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=810232012617965344 (It includes the same primes example that crops up in the
