I'm happy to introduce a guest post from Doug Ireton, who's written a fantastic guide to Getting Things Done with RTM. Doug is a Sr. Platform Engineer on the Windows Server team at Nordstrom, a luxury clothing retailer based in Seattle, Washington. He is an avid Remember The Milk user, and after almost a year has finally stopped fiddling with his RTM setup (mostly). Using RTM for work and personal tasks and projects, he has ...

A number of people whose opinions I greatly respect have turned me on to Yelp over the last six months or so. Yelp is a community review site, and a great way to discover cool new places in whatever neighborhood you happen to be in. I've enjoyed using Yelp, and I wanted to participate by submitting my first review, so I created a new account there. As part of the account creation process, I was ...

One of the most impressive hacks I've ever read about has to be the Black Sunday kill. Since the original 2001 Slashdot article I read on this is 99.9% quote, I'm going to do the same. I can see why they quoted so extensively; it'd be difficult to improve on the unusually succinct, well written summary provided by Pat from Belch: One of the original smart cards, entitled 'H' cards for Hughes, had design flaws ...

If it wasn't illegal, that would be an enjoyable fight to participate in. I guess that's why the white hate hackers do what they do: the thrill of the hunt. The Black Sunday hack showed that defense can be as enjoyable as offense at times.

I can't remember when, exactly, I discovered Clay Shirky, but I suspect it was around 2003 or so. I sent him an email about micropayments, he actually answered it, and we had a rather nice discussion on the topic. I've been a fan of Clay's writing ever since. (In case you're curious, Clay was right -- micropayments are dead -- and I was dead wrong. All the more reason to be a fan.) I don't ...

Impressive new product from TypePad in the surprising form of a Facebook application. Blog It allows cross-blogging to around a dozen blogging and microblogging services like TypePad, WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger, Twitter, Pownce, etc. Microblogging services (also known as “status services”) like Twitter are separated into their own tab within the app, but notifications (with links) for real blog posts can still be sent to those services for easy notification. Smart move. A demo video walks ...

Thumbstrips est un plugin pour Firefox qui a exactement cet objectif. Il se présente comme un bandeau qui s'installe dans ...

Moi qui aime bien les représentations cartographiques, je suis servi en ce moment. Hubert Wassner nous livre une nouvelle version de sa cartographie sémantique des blogs. Deux clés de lecture pour cette carte : la couleur des noeuds (blogs) : du rouge (très populaire) au noir (pas populaire) ; et la couleur des liens les reliant (bleu clair : forte corrélation, bleu foncé : faible corrélation). Affordance.info y occupe une bonne place et y apparaît ...

On le sait : les blogueurs francophones qui voudraient élargir significativement leur audience pour envisager de faire de leur activité un job à plein temps ne sont pas nés du bon côté de l'Atlantique. Ou des Pyrénées. D'où la tentation souvent évoquée de proposer des versions dans plusieurs langues de leur blog, et bien sûr pour commencer une version anglaise, puisque c'est là que le business et le pognon des annonceurs se trouvent en masse. ...

L'édito de Bertrand le Gendre sur le site du Monde en date du 15 Mars, laissait entrevoir le pire : "Faut-il brûler Wikipédia ?" Le genre de titre incendiaire à vous mettre en émoi toute la communauté des Wikipompiers. Heureusement, il ne fallait y voir qu'une accroche vendeuse : le fond de l'article propose enfin le bon éclairage du phénomène (tout au moins en ce qui concerne le traitement par la presse quotidienne du phénomène ...

What Apple is doing now with their Apple Software Update on Windows is wrong. It undermines the trust relationship great companies have with their customers, and that’s bad — not just for Apple, but for the security of the whole Web. What they did yesterday was to use their updater for iTunes to also install their Safari Web browser –what follows is some background and analysis. Keeping software up to date is hard — hard ...

Filed under: Laptops Let's not get hung up on trying to figure out a use for this thing, and just admire it for what it is: awesome. Jim built this "Spectrum ZX Laptop" out of an old ZX Spectrum 48k and a Toshiba Libretto 110, using the Libretto for innards and the screen, while the Spectrum serves as a case and keyboard. The "laptop" gets a couple hours of batter life, and naturally Jim is ...

Filed under: Laptops Pencil thin laptop? Check. Floating with drop shadow? Check. Catch phrase in Helvetica Light? You bet. "Thinnovation" may have become "The art of thin," but there's no mistaking the implication of this new Lenovo web ad for the ThinkPad X300. "No-compromise" and "Everything else is just hot air?" Them's fightin' words.[Thanks, Amerist] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

“Open” is Good for Business (Part II); The Rise of a "True"...Back in November, shortly after the announcement of OpenSocial, I wrote a post about how making Pulse an open social network (rather than a “walled garden”) was good for our business. I included a chart that became the talk of the industry (coverage included TechCrunch, CNET, Valleywag, and even the New York Times). At SXSW, I became aware of just how many people had ...

Leander Kahney / Wired News: How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong — One Infinite Loop, Apple's street address, is a programming in-joke — it refers to a routine that never ends. But it is also an apt description of the travails of parking at the Cupertino, California, campus.
