Chinese people discovering fortune cookies (51)
on Boing Boing (18841) permalinkHere's a funny short video of Chinese people being exposed to fortune cookies (an American invention) for the first time: Americans find high emotional attachment to the slips inside their cookies, looking to them for winning lottery numbers and becoming upset when the fortunes inside are unfortunate. The Chinese, on the other hand, would often tell me after trying the curved vanilla-flavored wafers, “Americans are so strange, why are they putting pieces of paper in ...Shared by !&# (224) Abe (57) Adam (39) Adam (22) Alex (38) autodidactic (126) Azeem (108) Ben Turner (140) Bruno (33) Camtron 9000 (230) Chris (225) Chris Gurney (79) Christian Harrington (52) darkeye11547 (1094) Dave (91) David (23) Dropkick (52) Eebs (110) flipp (30) fox (17) Fred (42) hallie (79) henrah (42) Jacqui (36) jeffdiogenes (114) Jim (62) John (51) John (46) Jon (26) jon|k (116) Juergen (69) Kevin (412) Kevin Branigan (58) Maarek Stele (213) mark (19) Matthew (60) mcescobar1 (68) Nick (306) npike (53) ntutak (33) Paulino (38) Quentin (15) Randy (29) Rui (57) Sam (194) Sean (61) shahryarrakeen (61) SmOKe_MaChiNe (676) Tony Ruscoe (51) Vi (62) Wyn (43)Explore read six notes

Introducing Ubiquity (428)
on Mozilla Labs (632) permalinkAn experiment into connecting the Web with language. It Doesn’t Have to be This Way You’re writing an email to invite a friend to meet at a local San Francisco restaurant that neither of you has been to. You’d like to include a map. Today, this involves the disjointed tasks of message composition on a web-mail service, mapping the address on a map site, searching for reviews on the restaurant on a search engine, and ...Shared by _dot_ (118) Aaron (30) Abe Serrano (4) adam (1996) Adam Hoyle (18) Adam Javůrek (28) Adam McDonald (42) ademar (22) Adrius Fortytwo (11) Adrock (6) Agatha (73) Alasdair Watson (6) Alberto (41) Alberto Piccini (103) Aleksander (41) Alex Porter (21) Alexander Goldovsky (62) Allan Espinosa (36) Allison Kipta (188) Alp Çoker (10) AlvarezVal (39) Alvin (8) Amihai (179) Amr Eldib (12) Andre Figueiredo (13) Andrea Baresi (6) andreas (6) Andreas (37) Andrew (28) Andrew (44) Andrew Cornett (15) Andrew Walkingshaw (20) Andy (31) Aneel (155) Anthony Bowyer-Lowe (25) Antoine Brunel (7) apinkpony (36) Archimedes Trajano (62) Armando (66) Arnaud Fischer (38) Art (273) ashmex (30) asmarin (10) b (92) baber (8) Babychen Mathew (1152) Baldgeekinmd (64) Barbara K.

- lishevita said: This is very cool. I'm totally excited about this, and I'd love to see what this will do in the future on mobile platforms. Be sure to watch the video.
- Beemer said: Awesome concept by mozilla...it will definitely change the way we interact with the web...have a read and look at the video.

Se dice que está muy bien y que hay que ver el vídeo.Y como aún no he visto el vídeo... :)Actualización:Ya he visto el vídeo. Parece que sí, que puede ser interesante. ¿Por qué? Para qué te lo voy a contar si puedes ver el vídeo tú mismo, jeje.
- Eddie said: i've wanted something like this for a while now, if only for a command line interface to the web. yubnub is too slow, and is often down. firefox smart keywords are ok but require an extra bounce and extra (server-side) coding if i want to do anything fancy.
- ryan.capote said: This is really cool, watch the video!
- Pradeep said: Awesome!Have been playing with it since yesterday evening. It is most certainly the Quicksilver (http://bit.ly/1XVYsZ) of the web. And they seem to be intent on revolutionizing the way we access the web. (Also, check out Adaptive Path's video for Mozilla Labs' concept web series: http://adaptivepath.com/aurora/)Install (https://people.mozilla.com/~avarma/ubiquity-0.1.xpi) and type "command-list" to get the complete list of built-in commands.Or ubiq "command-editor" and build your own commands. May be something to 'select a text, add a note and post-to-reader'!It's also possible to embed Ubiquity commands in webpages. How will the web react? Think of the possibilities for a frequent user on a massive destination like Amazon or Yahoo!They admit that the whole thing is "messy" and "cluttered" (sample: hyphenated commands) but I can firmly say that they are heading in the right direction.Hmmm...now, about the lost mojo...[http://bit.ly/3xtnj7]

State tries to outlaw zone pricing for gas (1)
permalinkZone pricing is the reason you pay more for gasoline in one area than you do in another.Shared by Randy (29)
- Randy said: I'm all for it. The same wholesaler shouldn't be able to sell at different prices based on location. Although this could probably be easily circumvented by simply charging higher 'delivery' fees.
