If you are going to accept the live-or-die risk of being completely dependent on FB, please make some effort to understand their priorities. The effect of this week’s FB platform changes was completely predictable in October 2008.
Several people have called me in the last 48 hours asking, “Why won’t FB let...

“Apple isn’t kidding. AppleTV really is a hobby”
The media center is hobby and the market is really bleeding edge … but it’s so fun. It’s cool to be in the future, albeit the very fragile and tenuous future where one update/upgrade can topple the entire media center structure.
My media center is my main shared store, and from it we can watch movies, music and...

Response to Daring Fireball's "Herd Mentality"...
johanlieu:
Interesting post by Gruber over at Daring Fireball re: Apple being the only computer manufacturer around with the ability the move the innovation ball forward because only Apple can differentiate their hardware from others (namely OSX). It’s a good article and everyone should go read it.
Back?
Ok, now I am going to play a little bit of devil’s advocate for a moment. Gruber tackles a...

Healthburn | Dustin Curtis →
I no longer have group health coverage, so I have to get individual health insurance for myself. Based on the horror stories I’ve heard, I expected this to be expensive. What I found is worse: they denied me for having heartburn.

This is why anti-immigrant sentiment is really anti-American.

So, paraphrasing somewhat, the arguments that the Yes on 1 campaign seems to be making are as follows: 1. The new law won’t make gay marriage equal to straight marriage. Instead, it will create a new kind of marriage in which gay people and straight people are equal.
2. Although we may not have proven any connection between gay marriage and public education, our opponents haven’t...

Wow. I know it sucks when you get “randomly selected” for more screening. Trust me, it’s happened to me a handful of times when I travel alone … I guess I look suspicious or something.
But to fabricate a story that tugs at the heart strings of parents everywhere is foolish, especially in this age of technology. It’s the AIRPORT. You really think they aren’t...

“Apple’s done a great job at implementing key features like Exchange integration, GPS, and the App store, but the core iPhone experience and hardware product haven’t changed much at all in the last two years. It’s absurd to suggest that Apple has been widening the gap between the iPhone and its competitors.”
I agree, I am bored with my iPhone. To say it’s innovated these past...

The Fun Theory: idsgn #fb →
Doesn’t The Fun Theory follow the same patterns as other games? That its effectiveness and fun decrease as its ubiquity increases?
