You can't tolerate glutin and you've never tried buckwheat pancakes? I find them superior to normal wheat pancakes in every way.

Cut/paste that string is still quite fiddly. Do you know why slicehost doesn't just make their private API key a link in the slice manager? I'm also curious what extra level of security the API key buys. If I lose my phone people can still

In terms of iPhone apps, linode easily beats slicehost. Nice graphs for CPU, network, etc. And last i looked, slicehost required you to make a URL with you API key and mail it to yourself, which is a huge PITA.

I don't follow the spammer, i follow the #tag. And they spam with the tag, so I have to skim their nonsense.

Couple of ideas: I'd love to filter out people who I normally like to follow but suddenly have decided to tweet copiously about some mundane sporting event. And I'd pay for a way to block people who spam my favorite hash tags.

Seems they may have the first device to communicate with a 3rd party app on the iPhone, but their video doesn't play on iPad or iPhone.

From your demo, I learned that Preview now has annotations that allows you to draw arrows and circles on images. Very handy -- don't know how I never saw that before.

You can watch it right now with the free iPhone app. You get articles and can watch it live. Looks and works great.

I wouldn't say they last forever. My aeron is about 15 years old, and it's starting to get some wobble in the main stem. (There might be a bearing that i can replace, but I haven't looked into it.) Also I never did understand the +/- dial o

Considering this was produced by a flash development shop, I find that statement to be disingenuous. Of course they are pro flash. And if flash developers actually provided useful content for people who didn't have flash -- they usually l

True, commerical mail seems to be their main business. I've heard of supervisors get mad at letter carriers who have too many households who don't wish to receive flyers and ads. And there doesn't seem to be any way to refuse "Adressed Adma

Great idea. If your competition gets his data from you, then you can leverage that position of power. First, you'll need to make sure you have the latest data. (If you're both updating with the Apple release cycle, then that will give you a

A search box can be so... uninspiring. Here's a site that I just stumbled across. I want to try almost every single drink on this page. http://www.liqurious.com/ You gave me a search box. I had to pause and think. I typed in "sake", becau

A nice summary of why Google is different. How refreshing for a company to ask themselves, "How can we create more value?" instead of scheming how to extract more value from the existing market.

Is a paragraph a logical or a visual concept? Can a paragraph have a name/speaker attached to it? The author answered these questions differently than you, and kudos to them for thinking about the problem. Markup is "terrible" when people d

There was site called apprejected.com that was publicizing rejections. It's down now, but Google has it in their cache (from 30-Oct-2009): http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:MjIAwYB6SaMJ:www.appreje... Apple changed their developer rules

Not interesting blog post per se, but interesting to me from a marketing perspective. The blog post wasn't relevant to me (i'm not a wikipedia editor) and the "open letter" concept was a bit of a stretch (tagging locations != editing an enc

I think the "self-selection" comment was referring to the businesses, not the customers. An analogy is those "customer forums" that many companies setup, thinking, "Customers can support themselves!" but then realize that it's more about "C

I've used the rollover star system before (similar to how iTunes does it.) It's easier, sexier and more intuitive. But yes, definitely default to "no stars" and require that a rating of 1 to 5 is given.

How did the IRS get on this guy's case? There's no paper trail. I find it hard believe that one of his friends or neighbours went to the IRS and said, "This guy fixed my car and didn't charge me! You'd better investigate him."

From the press release: "The new AOL brand identity is a simple, confident logotype, revealed by ever-changing images. It’s one consistent logo with countless ways to reveal." So, it's a wordmark on top of clip art photos.
