This is really awesome news. Glad to see reMail didn’t get erased off the face of the Earth.

Secret Menu Item of the Day: Here’s one that didn’t make the exhaustive list of restaurant menu secrets: The greasy eclipse known as “Mc10:35”.
Fast-food frontiersman Peter explains:
1. Go to McD’s right when they are transitioning from breakfast to lunch.
2. Order one of the remaining Egg McMuffins from the breakfast menu and also order a McDouble since the lunch menu is now open.
3. Take the egg and Canadian bacon from the Egg McMuffin and put it on the McDouble.
The guy at the register said people call it a Mc10:35 because that’s pretty much the only time you can pull this off.
Sounds like a horrible mistake. I must try it.

Super Awesome Hilarious Japanese Game Show Time: This Japanese game show segment is hands down one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long, long time. My eyes are still teary from laughing so hard. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you pass this up.
I am still trying to catch my breath from laughing.
And if you’re interested, there are TONS more to watch, all variations on the theme.

Superb post on how to bring the MVP mindset to the MMO development process. The rest of the blog is full of well written thoughtful articles on every aspect of MMO design, business, theory and execution.
Panelfly is killer reason #1 why I am going to get an iPad. I hope comic creators utilize the new dynamic medium instead of offering what are essentially scans of the print books.
Oh lord. Not like this. Comic book addiction is a real affliction! I just got out!

The BBC visual rebrand and how it got there.
BBC documents the roots of its Global Visual Language 2.0:
About 2 years ago, after printing out the site onto what has now become jokingly known as the ‘Wall of Shame’ we decided to embark on an ambitious project, called Global Visual Language 2.0, with the aim of unifying the visual and interaction design of bbc.co.uk and the mobile website.
I highly recommend actually downloading the guide — it’s a truly remarkable study in visual design.
This tiny house design in Japan is really cool.

Thoughts thus far:
Overall, it started off very, very slow but now that I’m in the swing of things, the game is getting better. I’ll report back once I finish it.
This is the most scathing review I’ve ever read.
“It’s easy to forget that Clerks and Chasing Amy were important moments in indie film, and that Smith was honestly poised to take a big leap and do something interesting. He’s never made good on that promise, and in fact he’s gotten to the point where he appears to have no interest in doing well. Cop Out is the worst film Kevin Smith has ever made, and it’s one of the worst movies I have seen in a long, long time. It’s time that Kevin Smith reconsiders his day job.”

Absolutely spot on article. Really good article.
And so it begins.
“A method for displaying a news feed in a social network environment is described. The method includes generating news items regarding activities associated with a user of a social network environment and attaching an informational link associated with at least one of the activities, to at least one of the news items, as well as limiting access to the news items to a predetermined set of viewers and assigning an order to the news items. The method further may further include displaying the news items in the assigned order to at least one viewing user of the predetermined set of viewers and dynamically limiting the number of news items displayed.”
Apple is absolutely brilliant. If the iPhone isn’t the majority of the smartphone market (which seems likely given the growth and spread of Android) then no one can ever claim Apple of monopolistic behavior like this:
“ We have learned that when Amazon first submitted its Kindle application for the iPhone to Apple, Amazon included its own payment system within the app, so customers could just pay for e-books and download them right in the app.
When Apple spotted the payment system, it told Amazon to get rid of it, according to a source familiar with Amazon’s operations.
Why? It’s a rule Apple smartly instituted at the App Store’s beginning, forbidding third-party e-commerce of digital goods within apps.
That is, it’s okay to use an iPhone app to buy physical goods — as you can in Amazon’s main iPhone app, or the Fandango app, etc. And developers are welcome to use Apple’s in-app purchasing system — and give a 30% cut of revenue to Apple — to sell digital goods within apps. But Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other vendors are prohibited from using their own e-commerce systems within apps for virtual goods. Thus the trip to the Safari browser to buy books. It’s obviously a rule Apple itself is allowed to break — it’s Apple’s iPhone, and it can do whatever it wants, as we’ve seen recently with Apple’s recent raids on thousands of sexy apps. But it does put competitors like Amazon on uneven footing.”
