  1. @pjdoland Maybe there’s a column in this topic for @binarybits, hint.
  2. @pjdoland Do you see a parallel with VCRs/DVRs? Seems similar to me.
  3. @pjdoland Could well be. The question is the degree to which they can make it in publishers’ interest.
  4. If Twitter won’t buy Readability, a better fit might be Amazon. Turn web content into a first-class citizen on Kindle.
  5. @mattthomas @PaulLev @willwilkinson Harrison was an amazing guitar player who by-the-way wrote amazing songs. Prince is vice versa.
  6. A nice thing about Readlists is that you can send a whole list to a Kindle. It arrives like a periodical w/articles. readlists.com
  7. @amelapay Grandfathered in.
  8. @jitbit Same here, but worked by running VS as admin, and uninstalling the previous for good measure.
  9. [nerds] Microsoft should just call the next version “Studio”.
  10. @binarybits @pjdoland @michaelbd Yes, I was scared into it a while ago: codinghorror.com/blog/2012/04/m…. Tedious but worth it, imho.
  11. @stevvve A true hacker.
  12. @samsaffron How about with a stream? msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…
  13. @demisbellot Looking at the Linguist project, they’re trying to get some intelligence in there. But still way too crude for a ranking.
  14. A healthy epistemology: lettersofnote.com/2012/05/dear-e…
  15. [UI nerds] Do we really need the browser status bar chattering about all the assets it’s loading? Uninformative and distracting.
  16. @russhmeyer Great neighborhood, was just there for the Lit Crawl last weekend. We’ll get together soon.
