  1. Chris Daly: "It’s almost as if Gavin Newsom doesn’t like Latinas, Filipinas, Asian American women." http://tr.im/FOzu The video is stranger.
  2. Michael Galpin makes the case for desktop apps, despite the "arrogance" of those who insist on in-browser apps: http://tr.im/FNjE Viewpoint.
  3. Bruce Schneier has a piece which touches on the true difficulties of social apps -- figuring how people will really react. http://tr.im/FNhL
  4. I just gave a speech to the United Nations @foursquare! I just stalked outside the foursquare offices @foursquare! I got spammed @foursquare
  5. I appreciate how Memeorandum has always helped us route around the Great Media Firewall of stories forbidden within the liberal democracies.
  6. Finally figured out which page was causing my browser to lag. Now, I might as well restart it. But, for Coca-Cola changes: http://tr.im/FJDU
  7. These aren't my photos, of Huangshan the Yellow Mountain in China, but this blogger's five are representative: http://tr.im/FIH2 Realworld.
  8. @visualrinse Not different in itself, only in light of surrounding rhetoric... hardware-specificity does do what Flash was accused of doing.
  9. If browsers use rendering cards, when available, then wouldn't that by definition imply content which "Forks the Web"? Seems inconsistent..?
  10. @ddura Lots of times when to-the-fact arguments aren't strong, to-the-person arguments are used. Tends to lead to a downward spiral, bummer!
  11. Thanks to @shelleypowers for raising the question whether "HTML5", in its quest to become the do-all, is restricting HTML. http://tr.im/FHie
  12. You can read Charles Darwin's notebooks online... if you install Silverlight... at least, that's what its Flash UI says... http://tr.im/FHc6
  13. Blast from the past: SUCK Magazine, 1995, on how the Apple/IBM "Kaleida ScriptX" project fared during early smart-TV days: http://tr.im/FH3R
  14. Historitrivia: Before WebTV and such there were interactive set-top trials from Scientific Atlanta and others, built w/ Macromedia Director.
  15. .@FlashCanon To avoid bruising delicate knuckles, try Peltor hearing protectors with radio & miniplug - used industrially, powerful silence.
  16. An AIR app for James Cameron's AVATAR movie is expected on the website today: http://tr.im/FGQ7 Will hunt for further background on the why.
  17. Next year we'll start seeing TVs with Internet access and interactive overlays. SFChron's Ryan Kim surveys delivery paths. http://tr.im/FGed
  18. @timanderson I was surprised to see such a quote in a Chrome article too... mostly seeking a comparison to new architectural ideas, I guess.
  19. My hope for "climategate" is that more of us realize that any of us can be conned, and that influentials out there do indeed seek to con us.
  20. Computerworld, on Chrome: "AIR is one of the most profound re-thinks of the underpinnings of application architecture...." http://tr.im/FG1O
