on
Daring Fireball (601) permalink
The first Jerry Seinfeld/Bill Gates commercial for Microsoft. Not a bad skit, but I’m not sure how this does anything for the Microsoft brand. Makes Gates seem cool, though. ★Shared by cirox (5) Eric Daams (280) Justin Yost (48) Mike McCarron (13) mr_gadget (149) Patty (222) Rumble (11) speljamr (5) Tim Kjær Lange (2)Contribute comment -

Apple Rejecting Pull My Finger App Based on 'Limited Utility (15)
onMacRumors has a story on Pull My Finger, an iPhone App that plays a variety of fart sounds. The demo video shows that the app is clearly well done for what it is — it even vibrates the phone while it toots — but Apple rejected it: We’ve reviewed your application Pull My Finger. We have determined that this application is of limited utility to the broad iPhone and iPod touch user community, and will ...Shared by Andrew Ruess (97) Clayton Yocom (4) Dave S (25) David (26) Dr. Ernie (48) Greg (2) GregEh (2) Harold (20) Ian Betteridge (9) Jay (46) Matt R (9) Nirav (11) Ooble (13) Spencer Fry (10) trevor (3)

Home (Chromium Developer Documentation) (7)
onDeveloper documentation for Google’s new Chrome browser. Most interesting to me is the User Experience section: In the long term, we think of Chromium as a tabbed window manager or shell for the web rather than a browser application. We avoid putting things into our UI in the same way you would hope that Apple and Microsoft would avoid putting things into the standard window frames of applications on their operating systems. ★Shared by cencio (1) Ian Mulvany (3) jeffmcneill (19) judson (6) rmorrell (34) zapnap (19) zoso (11)Contribute comment

Palin’s 17-Year-Old Daughter Is Pregnant (14)
onSarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter Bristol is five months pregnant. McCain campaign claims he was aware of this before selecting Palin as his VP, despite evidence and rampant speculation that Palin was not seriously vetted. Governor Palin is a strong supporter of abstinence-only sex education. Tom Eagleton lasted 18 days before withdrawing from the McGovern ticket in 1972. My money says Palin doesn’t last that long. ★Shared by Adam Mathes (2) Andrew Ruess (97) bbebop (13) Christian (1) Coty (10) David (12) digits12 (635) Erik (74) J.D. Rucker (326) Jessica L.

Some Quick Comparisons Between the New Kodak Zi6 and the Flip Ultra (6)
onI got my Kodak Zi6 last week, and have been shooting footage side-by-side with my Flip Ultra. Here are two examples I’ve posted to Vimeo. Be sure to turn on the HD option for the clips from the Zi6. More soon. ★
- MDWeezer said: Nice comparison vids. Still want more before I decide on purchasing. But since I don't have any type of video capability right now, the 720p, SD card recording and direct H.264 looks pretty good for the Kodak Zi6.
