I know it syncs but I'm pretty sure that I didn't agree to crowd-sourcing my highlights. I probably did, but it wasn't made clear to me that I would be. Bad-form Amazon.

I don't understand this: "It's not a tablet or an ebook reader, it's a new species" Is that marketing hyperbole or did I miss something fundamental about what they are doing?

I think that seems fairly clear cut on their part. I wonder if they would be open to dialogue about the issue though. For example, if someone is tweeting a specific question about a branding finding that with search and answering seems legi

I really like this, it seems like a good way to help with some of the "customer service" type of stuff I get at work on Twitter. I'd be interested in seeing if you could answer non-directed messages against a search stream instead of a frie

Even if he's right, Jason proves yet again that being an asshole isn't cool. I makes me sad that anyone feels this is an appropriate way to conduct themselves.

Sure, but it's hard for a novice to recognise if this is an HTC model they don't recognise or a prototype. Since Apple only has 3 models identifying an Apple phone which is not one of those models is much easier and strongly suggests it's a

by sh1mmer 16y ago
That's not a very good experiment. HTC have a lot of phone models, Apple has exactly 3 which most tech savvy folks could identify readily.

Ry has some Nginx / Node comparison in his JSConf slides http://nodejs.org/jsconf2010.pdf Summary: Node isn't quite as fast as NginX but it's close, and it's programable, and he's still tuning it.

Rather than doing this why not just read "JavaScript: The good part" and learn about JavaScript's classes instead.

I don't know why people keep throwing around the $5000 figure as the value of the phone. Surely, it was worth more than that to Gawker, as their gains from the story. More than that as a prototype it's arguably worth much more than that to

by sh1mmer 16y ago
I'm assuming they took the cameras to prove that it was one of those cameras that was used to take photos of the phone, thus proving it was in his possession. Since he is employed it is up to Gawker to make sure he has equipment. Can they f

Interesting tangental fact from the article: As Webb noted, the U.S. is home to 5% of the global population but 25% of its prisoners.

In which case you'd be most interested in your outbound clicks vs. your time spent on site or page views.

If you just want single page view stats, my stats give me "time spent on site" broken down by "new visitors". I don't understand why you have to redefine the term "bounce" in order to achieve that. You could simply say that "bounce" wasn't

This article is about how he redefined "bounce" to not include people that viewed the site for 30 seconds or more. While I appreciate the sentiment, I consider "bounces" to be a lack of up-sell. My stats give me a "bounce" rate as well as t

This is someone who has done graffiti on the west bank wall mocking the IDF. My guess is probably not.

For the people in San Francisco, Banksy has apparently done some art at Valencia between 19th and 20th. It's above Little Otsu. We went to see it yesterday and it's fairly awesome. There is another one in Chinatown I haven't seen yet.

It's ok. I wish he would do some updates though. There are some annoying bugs and I haven't ever seen this updated.

This is some quality tabloid journalism from Techcrunch. They have lined up some open advocates who they can trot out to call "Facebook" evil, then ride the controversy, while suggesting Facebook will "win" because of their "500 million use

This headline is misleading. They currently have 72% of sales not the market. There are a lot of "legacy" smart phone devices in Japan. That said, capturing 72% of new sales is huge.

I just have 2 desks at work and two monitors. Works pretty well for me. If you don't want to buy two monitors (hint I didn't) then you could always make a desk with a hand crank. That wouldn't cost too much, it seems like a motor and contro

Exactly. There are a lot of kids in their social class who don't work as hard and don't get as much back as a consequence. The measure of a person is not what they started with, it's what they did with it.
