  3. Liking Moblin Netbook Remix; Canonical gets netbook screen real estate. I want Jolicloud "AppStore"+Moblin's UI.
  4. I fixed TweetDeck RTs outbound (Prefs>Twit>Old-style), but I only want people I follow in Friends column (which is, you know, the *point*)
  5. I've been ignoring the "Retweet Wars", b/c I use Tweetdeck, but I just "upgraded" TD and holy cow, does the new RT logic suck.
  6. Thanks, all for the translation of Shir Ram Sena as ~"Army of Lord Ram" -- wikipedia updated, all's right with the world...

  14. Of all misrepresentations by media moguls, calling old inconveniences loyalty and new user freedoms disloyalty is the dumbest.
  15. Will B&N's failure to ship the Nook for Xmas shopping be a speedbump or a catastrophe for them? (Users rarely buy hardware on spec...)
  16. RT @yelvington: New post: Lookie Lou isn't really a customer http://tinyurl.com/y94gu5r
  17. Dan Gillmor fact-checks a column http://bit.ly/7pDOHw, showing again that the traditional press often claims more rigor than it delivers
  18. Oh, MSFT-NewsCo, you are already the AOL-TW Wonder Twins of the era, and you haven't even happened yet. "Shape of...SYNERGY!"
  19. 4/4 There is a big opportunity for an "App Store for Netbooks" (& laptops & PCs). No one's there yet, but Jolicloud is closest.
  20. 3/4 If the user *ever* needs access to the file system, the Screen mode of interaction is almost impossible to do right.
