a simple iphone book/html reader that downloads my latest bookmarks on delicious tagged 'read' so I could read them offline.

This way I don't have to sync and stuff ;) does instapaper already do this? I tried it once before.. I forgot the reason why I got back to ruBooks and a custom python script to download websites from my delicious feed.
If more of Rand's proponents were apparently aware of this fact that "things are more complex than she writes about" nor, might I add, are things as absolute, I would have less of a problem with Objectivism.
I do appreciate the offer but I have some psychological resistance to hypnosis - my mother has tried to get me to do it also but to no avail :)

The hand/arm stretches help but only up to a point. A lot of the tension I get seems to arise in the neck and upper back areas. I feel great when I get out of the gym or after a hot bath but I work in a pretty high pressure environment where I sometimes can't take breaks for hours at a time. Maybe that's the real problem. But I was hoping for a workaround.
When I started having problems about 7 year ago, I did a handful of things, but the two that made the most difference were:

Better chair (Aeron). Sounds odd, I guess, but being the right height and having good posture makes a difference. I also dropped the arms way down, so I simply cannot lean on them no matter how lazy I'm feeling (among many other pains, my left elbow had a permanent twinge of pain, which still pops up now and then, but was always-on back then).

Tiling window manager. This assumes UNIX/Linux, but it made a difference when I almost completely killed the mouse from my life. If typing is more painful than mousing for you, this might not be the right choice. It helped for me, though...I immediately was able to work full days again due to this change, though I don't know if it was therapeutic...it may have just avoided the most serious pains.

Other things that may or may not have helped, but I did them while recovery was clearly happening:

Changing positions frequently. Keyboard slanted/flat. Raising and lowering the chair. Occasionally sitting in a different chair or on a ball or standing. Getting up and walking about a lot.

Exercises that encouraged blood flow to the affected areas. Cardiovascular exercise in general, but tennis and such were my focus. You've already tried swimming...so that's probably in the same league for circulation. I wouldn't quit doing those things, even though they haven't resolved your problem...I doubt they're hurting.

I cut back dramatically on playing guitar and piano, since they incurred very similar sorts of repetitive stress. This one was not pleasant, but now I can play again without any problems.
Because of the auto-clicking software I use - and the fact that I only use trackpads - typing is more of an issue than clicking.

Don't ever contact them first!!! you'll be admitting that you are knowingly infringing on their patent, which will put you in an awful position if they decide to pursue litigation. consult a lawyer before you do anything, and have him/her review everything you write to them.

Sorry about the exclamation marks but this is a really dangerous suggestion.
So, (1) a dropped call at the wrong moment is not going to cost a sales guy a lot of money unless that sales guy works in Scranton and is trying out for the CIA, and (2) am I the only one here who uses an iPhone as their primary phone and has never had a dropped call?
scrollTop(), offset(), and the like are built in to the latest jQuery.

you mention some really good points
That's what Slashdot has had for comments for as long as I remember (+funny, insightful, etc.). You can tweak your settings for how those traits are projected to a one-dimensional number (e.g. making "funny" more or less valuable).
I know that Keynes cares a lot about full employment. But you said he introduced it as a concern. Do you have sources that nobody cared about it before?
I love it! I like listening to live sets, but I'm always annoyed when I want to know what a certain track in the middle of a set is. If you're lucky you can find a breakdown of the set list, but this is way better than even that.

[me goes to unsubscribe from electronic music podcasts in iTunes]

Now, just make it so you can continue browsing the site without interrupting the currently playing track/set. You could do that with frames, or by loading content using AJAX (that's what http://www.thesixtyone.com/ does)
Cool and cumbersome do not contradict each other.
uh no. I'm saying exactly what I said.
And I disagree that criticism is the quickest way to kill an idea. I'm not out to :kill: ;).
IANAL but to my knowledge (multiple patents under my belt) if the patent covers A,B,C and you only implement A,B then you are fine. It depends how they have setup their claims though - some may be optional.
I wish you the best of luck. My momentum ran out with the signup form. And I like electronic music.

But regardless, congratulations! You got something up and running, and the custom link greeting page was a very nice touch. Please give us updates + progress reports.
Off the top of my head things you could try:

1. Go to a paul chek, nasm or shirley sharman practitioner. They will check out your posture. Ignore anything they say about the one true way [edit - I mean the research is inconclusive - either may work, but all will claim their way is correct].

2. If you already have bad posture you need to correct it. Some good [alternative] ways:

- overhead lifting and overhead shrugs

- heavy front squat holds (just the hold, not the squat)

- go look at at mike robertson or gray cook for corrective exercises

3. If you haven't already tried, go to an ART practitioner. It's very sore but effective for a lot of people.
Matt's article links to the Pre intro page at palm.com http://www.palm.com/us/products/phones/pre/index.html

It has a "notify me" button to register when there is more info. Since noone outside Palm has touched a Pre yet but we _all_ know about it, I think somehow I'll be kept informed either way ;)
I thought this going to lead to the "fix" so that Windows 7 doesn't delete the first 3 seconds of every MP3 you have lol.

Paper: Undermining Privacy in Social Networks [pdf]
Palm has never been as cool as Apple.

Palm hardware has always been "organization pr0n," which only appeals to a small subset.

The iPhone is seen as cool; it is the most desirable phone. People are bending over backwards to afford one (the most iPhone growth over the past 2 quarters has been in low-middle and low class income groups). Apple paved the way with iPods.

I think Palm will have a very hard time selling the Pre to people outside the geeky / careering groups where orgpr0n still appeals.

Even if the user experience is better, the market hasn't been conditioned fr it.
The funny thing about the Apple iPhone keyboard, in that respect, is it actually does work just as well as a blackberry keyboard (and this is within the first week of usage...). I find that I can type just as fast on my iphone as I could on my blackberry.. In fact, I'm typing this on my iPhone, as it happens.

The iphone keyboard is a fantastic piece of design. I honestly believe that those who think of it as inferior just haven't tried using it for a few days. I actually think of the on-screen keyboard as one of the iPhone's key features, and the lack of it would discourage me from buying another phone.
For every single not-as-qualified VIP or preferential student they admit, at a highly competitive school like Harvard that means they have to reject nine qualified non-VIP candidates.

Read that in an article, don't have the link handy.
Dude above you is right: "If you have the easiest to use site, that makes people money off their Flickr purchases, then that's sustainable."

Look at Moo. They are A) profitable, B) run off Flickr, C) in a replicable space (e.g. not hard to copy), and D) still winning.

They win because they were first, and because they are cooler than the others.
That's the feeling I got too. Criticising something as different as the iPhone keyboard (which I'm using to type this) when you haven't tried it is very unconvincing and possibly slightly dishonest both with yourself a d with your readers.
I know what you mean - I felt the same way after reading Age of Tolerance (similar to Atlas Shrugged but specific to contemporary American political issues) and then saw people singing the national anthem in Spanish, but with the words politically modified.

I've read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged too, but it was a while ago.
I'm in the uk, and the call quality is absolutely fine here.
Not for me.

(If we're dishing out opinions, I thought I'd throw mine in.)
I'd say a Google OS would have the potential to be pretty damaging to Microsoft's market share.
Yeah you may be right, I just couldn't work out how I'm supposed to use it... One finger, two thumbs, 2 fingers? With the iPhone i use 1 finger and can type pretty fast, but with the G1 it was just really hard to hit the right key, and you actually have to press pretty hard which slowed me down a lot.

How long did it take you to get used to it? Does it always take so much effort to register a keypress, or does that 'loosen up'.. :/
Moving your technology to a brand-new european company (no software patents yet) and licensing to your US company could avoid being sued by patent trolls? I don't know anything about such topics, just asking.

My Sweet Escape 
My space of thoughts where I share my opinions on everything under the sun. You will get a variety of information whether it’s about my personal life experiences, fitness and health, the latest gadgets and entertainment. I have two hell-raising adorable children but don’t fret, that’s not all you see in my blog. I also do product reviews and advertising. Readers of all ages are welcome!
I understand that, but as it happens, sets (and mix CDs which are basically less often released, higher quality sets) are the only thing I listen to as far as electronic music is concerned.

I do not listen to progressive house in single tracks. That doesn't even begin to make sense - progressive house is all about the progression across a set.

The input of a DJ in selecting, arranging, mixing the tracks into a set is what makes electronic music great to me. I would not buy single electronic music tracks, but I might consider paying for a subscription that would give me access to vast amounts of sets by the likes of John Digweed, Anthony Pappa, Sasha, Dave Seaman, Mirel Jarca, Nick Warren, Danny Howells, etc...

Also, worth noting, if I can't download them to my computer in a DRM-free format, those sets are absolutely worthless to me. However, I'd be very willing to pay a subscription fee (even with a - reasonably generous - limit on the number of sets that I can download. In fact, I used to subscribe (for money) to freshlymixed.com, and all they did was record and republish Digweed's kiss100 mixes and the Essential Mixes from BBC 1.
I have thoughts like that all the time. My usual first one of the day is :- " You know Maggie, we really should get up now " :) xx
That's a bizarre comment from Malcolm Grant. UCL firmly believes there are only two universities in the world, itself and Harvard, and it's not really sure about the latter.
>> "But the iPhone platform is also, in many ways, problematic. Programming native apps in Objective C is really hard work (or so the friends who’ve done it tell me). Palm greatly reduces the barriers to entry by making app development html/css/javascript-based, meaning any web developer (maybe even me) could get started."

A warning to bloggers: when you don't know what you're talking about but talk anyways, it's very obvious. And it hurts your credibility. I wouldn't complain about problems with the World Series of Poker in a blog post, and if you've never used Objective-C/Cocoa, it's best if you don't complain about it.
1. If a novel is intended to be realistic fiction, it should reflect reality, not the author's philosophical agenda. (My opinion, but I think this is the only way serious art reveals truth. Imagine if Marx had written a novel.) This is distinct from fantasy. I'm a Tolkien fan too, but I don't think anyone would turn to LOTR for economic guidance.

2. Artificially low interest rates reflect Greenspan's belief that given enough liquidity, markets will be self correcting. He thought banks were in the best position to protect themselves from risk because they bear the greatest consequences of failure. (He has since admitted the failure of this belief.) Clearly they were not, as the low interest rates lead to further inflation of the credit bubble.
She says that NOW, but the reality is that she DID meet him for coffee.
So if you are going to make profit out of a site built on top of the Flickr API, then you'll have to use the commercial API. So the factors to consider would include the cost of the commercial API too. Besides, you'll also have to use some merchant account/Paypl to process payments which again eats off a bit of the money you get out of your commission you get out of letting people sell the pics.

This idea would automatically turn a amateur photographer's or artist's flickr account into something the person can make a profit by selling his best stuff. That would atleast fund upgrading his cameras or buy new colors. You could start by targeting amateur photographers and artists. But make sure you find an extra stream of revenue apart from sales commission.

But idea is sweet.
Hm, I pondered doing this for my memory game (pairs). You think there would be much interest for this? I could even automate it to create memory games from flickr.
Hm, know of any interesting porn games? My own venture into erotic games wasn't a big hit: http://3boobs.de

It works on the Wii, btw (website in Opera).
I like it a lot. Will show it to my gf as well. The style of the website is very nice and clean. I love the sproost logo! I have a few criticisms though.

The quiz is very long and it seemed to my european eyes that there's an overhang of traditional styles and little differentiation among contemporary options. Modern seems to imply asian.

I didn't like most of the rooms, but after making my choices the system summerised my style pretty well. Very well actually.

The "design your room" page suffers from some layout quirks (Firefox 3). One of the items in my room got stuck when I switched to selecting more items from the sofas category. That rug just kept hovering on top of the sofas and only went away once I used the budget slider. I wasn't able to repeat it later though.

I love the budget slider but sometimes it didn't stick. It kept snapping back to the greatest price range.

My room looks a little jumbled because the pics aren't aligned at all. I understand that I'm supposed to arrange the items as I see fit, but that doesn't make much sense to me since I can't possibly make the whole thing look anything like a real room. The sizes and perspectives are just too different. I suggest you pre-align the items next to each other. People can still move the items around if they want to.

I appreciate that it's very difficult to actually let people design a room that looks like a room. It would work a little better if I could zoom individual items so I could at least put that lamp next to the sofa and make them look proportionally sized. To take this further you could figure out the sizes of the pieces from the vendors' sites and automatically zoom them accordingly. I know, I know that's a massive amount of work and maybe it wouldn't help enough to make a real difference.

I'm not sure why the "saved rooms" and the "design your room" pages are separate pages. I would prefer a drop-down to select other saved rooms right on the "design your room" page. The cost rundown could be placed on the "buy your furniture" tab or dynamically displayed by clicking somewhere next to the total. In my opinion, there are too many pages and menu/tab levels.

The "to be added" section isn't very useful I think, but if it's there it should at least let me remove stuff from it.

The signup process is OK. No confirmation emails, no nothing, just an email address. But I would still let people see the room designer before making them sign up.
I've been thinking about turning the daily act of email spam deletion into a brain jogging game (like the one that is selling like crazy for Nintendo DS).
Actually if you generate a PDF off the official Django documentation it comes out as nearly 800 pages!

Sad to see Zuck win under "Best Startup CEO" - I don't think Facebook falls under the term 'startup' anymore.

Also, is it just me or does he put off a "I'm a tool" vibe when you hear him talk?
This indication on the boards is common in most bigger German cities for busses, trams and so on. E.g. in Frankfurt you have it on any tram stop.

Alternative take: Windows 7 beta is such a popular download that with the current demand even MS is having troubles hosting it.

I think the rumours about Microsoft's near imminent death is greatly exaggerated.

Would this be a good or a bad thing?
I shudder to think what Zed's code is like. Did I say rm? I meant cp...
I find the call quality to be really good, much better than my Nokia could ever achieve.
coupon codes are popular. I imagine my mother would like this site if she could simply print out her coupon (or email it) direct from your site. Currency selection should be a no brainer IMHO :)
Don't write usability off as "marketing". AIM presented a usable way to do chat for people who had no idea when IRC was a command-line confus-atron.
Blogs and news services are pulling more and more photos from Flickr.

Because they don't want to pay for them on sites like iStockphoto that already exist to give photographers a way to market/sell their products?
Escort Dating For a Relaxing Evening
If you want to really relax after a long tiring week, then hiring the company of a Paris escort will do the trick for you. At times, we can have extremely stressful week at work and we may have to put in extra hours to meet difficult deadlines. This can drain us up completely and in this scenario, we would not be up to too much of activity for the weekend. We would like to just chill out and unwind a bit the tension that we have accumulated over the week.
You will probably have to change your work environment (in either sense).
Games aside, there's hardly anything on the App Store that couldn't be done in webOS. It's not just "local webpages" -- the SMS and phone apps are written in it, after all.

I think if the choice was between a third all-new alien SDK and luring developers in with HTML+JS, Palm made the right choice.
The book linked to at the end of the first section - "Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-truths, and Total Nonsense" - looks interesting. Has anybody read it?
GitHub totally deserved their win - kudos. Suprised they weren't nominated for best startup. They've had massive impact.

I think Bebo &/or etsy deserved best founders, Twitter is awesome but the previous 2 companies have gone from startup to profit/acquistion.
You won't get many users if you make them sign up.
I am not on Facebook at all, even if it is free because I just haven't seen the need for it. I might develop some apps for it in the future, but that's about it. I'm not on Twitter, Friendfeed or Myspace either...

For me, the value of Facebook is 0
Hmm, didn't think I would have gotten as many upvotes as I did...

Anyway, I know this may seem like common sense, but if someone was going to build an app like this, I would suggest that the best platform for it is the iphone simply because Apple actively market their technology as more "green" than other manufacturers.

IWork.com Review with Screenshots
anyone knows how the memory leak happened? I use scrapy to fetch some data out, the total network in/out is about 400M, but the memory usage of scrapy gained about 1.5G.
Wait, so this guy is recommending against storing predictable user IDs in cookies, and against pre-filling password fields such that the values can be read in the source for a page? Brilliant! /facepalm

I disagree on the signup.

I think the placement of the signup is quite nice. Why? because my test result accurate depicted my taste and I was curious to see more.

Needless to say, I signed up.

Didn't buy anything though... everything was way expensive.
