On MacHeist

This MacHeist scuffle going on for the second year in a row now is nonsense and needs to end. I’m tired of reading about it everywhere. First, each and every developer that is selling an application via this year’s MacHeist is doing so willingly. It is nobody else’s business whether they do so or not, and no one has the right to disparage them for making that choice. As a...

Despair over financial policy →

givemesomethingtoread: The Obama administration is now completely wedded to the idea that there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the financial system — that what we’re facing is the equivalent of a run on an essentially sound bank. As Tim Duy put it, there are no bad assets, only misunderstood assets. And if we get investors to understand that toxic waste is really, truly worth much more...

US senators urge 70 pct tax to get AIG bonuses... →

I get the outrage over the AIG bonuses. But it makes me very queasy to see Congress decide over the course of just a few days to pass a massive tax against a tiny, targeted group of people, for no other reason than they can claim popular support for it. Talk about an invitation to future abuse of power. If this goes through, who is the next group to suddenly find that 70% of their compensation...

– Live from Apple’s iPhone OS 3.0 preview event This is BS. Don’t give me any garbage about the hardware changing between the Edge and 3G versions of the iPhone. Phones have been able to get MMS messages for YEARS now and there is no reason the iPhone was released in the first place...

F1 to use ‘medals’ system in 2009 →

Readability

If you haven’t checked out the Readability project from arc90 labs which I linked to the other day, you really should do yourself a favor and go check it out now. I’ve been using the bookmarklet for about a week now and it really is amazing how much easier it makes trying to read things on the web. For instance, today I was reading an article on the NYTimes.com website and the...
