Just FYI...

In FF 13, IE 8, and Chrome (21.0.1180.15 dev-m) on Windows XP, I'm not seeing blurred or flattened edges with Font Awesome at all.

Actually, I'm not seeing any improvements in your "Web font icons rendering proof of concept" demo with either. Before and after look the same here for FF and IE. For Chrome, the after column is blank. (?)

I do see the blurriness in your PNG graphic on your page, so it's apparently not my eyes that are to blame: Safari looks good; FF, bad; IE9, fair.
I particularly disagree with the conclusion that Twitter would have become some sort of magical panacea as opposed to the screenshot he provides: https://twitter.com/#!/daltonc/media/slideshow?url=pic.twitt...

The problem there is yet another crappy "what's hot" or "what's trending" or "what's popular" block. Google can't solve it for news, Netflix can't solve it for movies, Amazon can't solve it for related products, and a half-borked, underfunded API for accessing the Twitter firehose is unlikely to create an ecosystem for startups that magically condense the entire world's real-time chit-chat into something I find compelling.

Yet isn't that block fundamentally the (false) promise of Twitter? We'll let you, Mr. Brandybrand [perhaps an individual], target your products and ideas and political manifestos that change the world and the blog posts and cat pictures and defamatory attacks and racist sentiments that don't -- somehow to people who'll find it interesting?

The World's Fairs promised us flying cars; Hollywood promised us a flying skateboard. Both still live on in our dreams, so I have a tough time thinking "marketing" killed 'em.

Especially given Twitter's very public technology missteps. Hash exclamation point, ya digg? Half a billion later and the site still loads correctly about as often as Gawker does. He's bitching that an API can't party on their data? Hell, I can't even retrieve my own direct messages from a year ago on the site itself.

Meanwhile: somebody just replied in email with "HAHAHAHA!" Gmail inserted a widget offering to translate it from Filipino and shows an ad for Coconuts beside it. Coconuts! Meanwhile my last Twitter notification is in the Spam folder.

Nope, this isn't "the marketing guys."
It doesn't guarantee browser dominance anymore precisely because of the select screen.

It would really help encourage tourism into the USA if the USA didn't levy a freaking tax on entering the USA to subsidize the ailing Florida tourism industry. (Source: http://www.eubusiness.com/news-eu/us-tourism-security.5tl/ ) Which is ailing because the process of entering the USA today, if you're a foreigner (like me) is marginally less friendly than entering the USSR in the mid-1980s.

(This is not a knock on the USA, it's a knock on the immigration/border control process. Which sucks. Horribly.)

Glass will definitely have privacy implications.

1. who owns the data.
2. who has access to the data.
3. how do you opt out from my recordings?
4. will this lead to a private crowd-implemented version of pervasive CC-TV?

This could the the penultimate implementation of a system to surveil a population. If this becomes ubiquitous, who would ever need state installed CC-cameras?
Because then the rational response for companies would be to stop selling the product cheaper in other countries, denying people in poorer countries access to products at prices they can afford.
Yeah I actually did not do any physical therapy. You're exactly right (I self-diagnosed ITBS myself)..
How are you equating standards essential 3G patents to software UI? They don't really have any correlation whatsoever.
That may be true for organized crime and for borderline white-collar criminals, but I doubt it will be true for your average "smash and grab" robbery.
Replying to my own post here (the shame!) but it's relevant and hopefully slightly interesting:

You can purchase SIM cards from most supermarkets in the UK for around the £1-5 mark and a basic Nokia handset for £10-15. You can top these up using cash at any supermarket checkout with "topup vouchers".

If you top up £15 that gives you 100% unlimited O2->O2 calls and texts for a month.

I reckon with a one time pad system such as the one described at [1], it is the most reliable, anonymous, secure point to point country-wide messaging system that you can create and it's not expensive or complicated.

I might write the whole thing up as an experiment and hopefully I won't get chucked in jail for doing so!

Take a look at the Galaxy Nexus (the phone in question) and tell me which Apple design or patent it infringed. (Bear in mind the unified search patent has prior art - by Google to wit, and is likely to be invalidated)
You got lucky. Most sites won't let prepaid gift cards go through. For example, neither Amazon nor PayPal, IIRC. Vanilla Visa was exactly the one I had, that ran into the problem, and I'd even put in my name and ZIP on their web site.

The problem seemed to be the lack of a billing address -- what are you supposed to put? Nothing worked. On another site that processed their credit cards via PayPal, it didn't work either. I called PayPal customer service and they explicitly told me they don't support cards that don't provide a means to verify a valid billing address and 3-digit security code.

The TDM GCC installer [1] is great on Windows as it deals with updating the path and even makes a nice shortcut in the start menu.

I know a few people who began programming with C (or C++) using TDM-GCC and after a couple of questions asking me about the command prompt they were good to go. To begin with just a gcc -o hello.exe hello.c is all that is needed and as you progress with learning the language the additional params are introduced.

As the command line on Windows is extremely simple I have found it easier to teach people how to use the command line than to switch to another browser. They only need to have a basic knowledge half a dozen commands, which can easily be written down, to get started. Also, and sorry if this seems insulting, if someone can't grok the idea of using cd to change a directory (and therefore under what a directory is) they probably are not going to be able to learn to program no matter what the language.

You mean just like every other business book? :)

Perhaps although I think there are more gems in this book (and Druckers for that matter) than in most other books.

He talks about something less trivial and fundamental about innovation which I don't think most other books I have read do.

A great speech he did a while back which sums up his opinion.
Boulder, CO - Full Time - http://markitondemand.com/

Markit On Demand

Markit On Demand is a design driven technology company based in Boulder, Colorado. We’re part of Markit, a global financial information company that’s headquartered in London. Here in Boulder, where the sun shines 300 days a year, we have a team of 400+ professionals dedicated to the presentation of financial content and data for our clients in the Financial Services, Media and Healthcare industries. On any given day, you might work with a colleague in New York, a retail brokerage in the US, a newspaper in Germany, a bank in Africa, or throw ideas around with an economist in our London office. And that’s before you meet up with co-workers for a foothills hike or a brewery happy hour tour.
We're looking for developers and engineers up and down the stack at all levels.
I understand how ads seem like a less risky road, but I really don't like using Twitter's website. Nor, am I that crazed about their app. I can't be the only one. It seems like a good way to lose users.
sorry about that, the reason I didn't is because it was simpler and not because I'm trying to trick anyone into signing up
One of the most ambitious projects I've seen in this vein is psyced ( http://www.psyced.org/ ) which starts from a redesign of IRC and has gone on to accumulate a kitchen-sink's worth of protocol compatibility(from the front page: Jabber™/XMPP S2S, IRC, TELNET, HTTP, SMTP, OAuth, XML, RSS; limited/experimental code for XMPP C2S, Java Applets, Status.Net, Twitter API, WAP, NNTP.) The core protocol is a gorgeous "Right Thing" design which has had many years to mature, and attempts to cover all venues: IM, chat room, microblogging, mail, profiles...

However, like with all of these open-source efforts, traction as a network seems to be missing.
Fair point!

However, I think that your average smash and grab robbery, at least in the UK, is usually handled by the insurance companies rather than the police. The police provide a crime ref so you can claim that it is a crime and that's it. There's very little prevention or follow up done.

I doubt it'd change that much if they deployed it here.
"But then what do you do for the rest of your life?"

I think this is the question you're forced to answer with earnest when you stop trying to be busy for busyness sakes. It might be by being too busy, we don't stop and appreciate the present moment, and everything we already have.

Prepaid American Express is pretty easy, you can call and give them an address, they don't ask for a SSN (many legitimate people won't have one). Just say that you're making an online purchase and need an address for verification.
I would be very surprised. Most criminals are stupid and have poor impulse control (so elaborate planning is out of the question). While the brighter and more determined ones are unlikely to be interested in burglarising your home or tagging an overpass when they can be dealing drugs or slinging guns.

This is a great idea but definitely not something that deserves a subscription service. This seems so trivial to implement.
> I think it's also hard to build very ambitious open source solutions that are entirely open from the moment of conception

Yes it's hard to build an open source standard using an open development model. On the other hand some people think its impossible to build an open source standard without an open development model.

Open source advocates argue that the very barrier to something becoming an open standard is your wish to own a strong consistent vision. They also argue that having a single host company that has a head start over others will discourage others from jumping on board.

I sincerely hope that such an approach could lead to a real open standard. I can't think of a case that has, though I do hope to be proven wrong.

Cool project, for sure. I bet you can succeed as a commercial platform, you're solving some hard problems and will make life easier for lots of developers. Would be cool if you can drive an open standard too.
