My favourite quote: “The government is already using technology to talk to citizens, but we’re going to make technology that helps government listen to them.” - Andrej Kostresevic

Google buying AdMob for $750 million - Andrej Kostresevic

"That, plus I've seen a lot of shops in my time." - Andrej Kostresevic

"I care about the device. In particular, I am interested in the SDK - it is Javascript/CSS/HTML based, with JS API access to the device features (gps, sound, addressbook, etc...) Not only is this "relevant", it may be the future of mobile device development, at least I hope so." - Andrej Kostresevic

safari - Zee.

FF3 when my MB is plugged in to mains, and Safari 4b when I'm running on battery power, because S4b consumes barely 3-5% of CPU, while FF3 never uses less than 20% CPU even with just a handful of addons (ABP, NoScript, Delicious, CoolPreviews), and with my about:config "gfx" settings that enable ICC Colour Profile support and font smoothing. Safari4b renders fonts much better IMO, and has Colour Profile support as default. - Siddharth Deb

"Nah, too mean; slip one of these under his windshield wipers. http://youparklikeanasshole.com/notices..." - Andrej Kostresevic

"No, I was asking what you based your extrapolation on - i.e. why do you think they will 'expand on the concept' in exactly the way you describe?" - Andrej Kostresevic

"Wow. You extrapolate all that from this example? I fail to see any connection between what you are talking about and the idea of doing something useful for the community in exchange for some temporary advertising." - Andrej Kostresevic

"Especially considering it is only a temporary thing, since the logo will be done in CHALK." - Andrej Kostresevic

How did you do this? I've been looking to do the same thing! - Dinh Luong

I added GTalk to my FriendFeed. Then I picked up my FFeed atom feed (apend ?format=atom to your ffeed url) with Yahoo Pipes, filtered it to include only stuff that contains "Gmail/Google Talk" and published it and grabbed the rss url (i think there was some more formatting needed, you'll see when you play with it). Then, I used TwitterFeed to post that rss feed to my Twitter account. Let me know if you have questions. - Andrej Kostresevic

You can also go straight from Friendfeed to Twitterfeed by doing a search for all your posts via googletalk (http://friendfeed.com/search...) and adding &format=atom to it. Unfortunately, the title includes your name and a colon, prepended to the actual title. - Andrej Kostresevic

"Wow, they corrected it. Not just the text either. They corrected the *audio*." - Andrej Kostresevic

"Yeah, wtf? Why not just cut the pizza as usual and then remove the crust from each slice? You did say "triangles", plural." - Andrej Kostresevic

"I can also ☑ butcher a hog" - Andrej Kostresevic

"I am very interested in all this talk about third party apps for the phone being written in Html + Javascript. If executed well, with hooks for important phone features like location, sound and data , it means an army of developers ready to start coding away and tons of libraries and existing apps ready to be plugged in. If executed the iPhone way, it means mostly crappy mini websites, masquerading as apps, for a while and then a native SDK a year later." - Andrej Kostresevic

They who? - Jason Carreira

@Nenad - Not all of us are equal. Case in point: they didn't do anything for me. ;-) - Ruchira S. Datta

""it could mean a future without intellectual property and no way to encourage innovation" What a cynical view. How about innovating for the pure joy of it? I personally believe that human beings have an innate drive to create - a drive which the profit motive only interferes with." - Andrej Kostresevic

I wonder why the whole unveiling was so lame. PacMan as an example of the things you can get through the Android Marketplace. C'mon, really? - Andrej Kostresevic

""and guess what, women just sleep better!" Well that's a bit of an overstatement. From the article: "Both sexes had a more disturbed night's sleep when they shared their bed""women apparently managed to sleep more deeply [...]since they claimed to be more refreshed than their sleep time suggested.""the women still reported that they had the best sleep when they were alone in bed." First of all, the claim you make in the title is refuted in the article. Second, even the finding that the "managed to sleep more deeply" is based on self-reporting of a subjective feeling, not to mention a sample size of 8." - Andrej Kostresevic

"OK, considered. And? So lets assume the whole world can now use my design. But that doesn't prevent me from using it myself. If someone rents out my house, I can no longer use it. Did I misunderstand your point?" - Andrej Kostresevic

"The crucial difference here, clearly, is that digital content can be copied, and a physical "structure" can not. I understand that this ruins your joke, but the joke is based on the same flawed analogy that is behind concepts such as "intellectual property" and "intellectual property theft"" - Andrej Kostresevic

"Did anyone take a look at think.mtv.com, the site this is promoting? This is the first thing I saw on the page: "Jonas Brothers Unite! Read about Nick Jonas's fight with diabetes, how his brothers help raise awareness, and (most importantly) how YOU can help! "" - Andrej Kostresevic

""circa" 1894? According to the cover, exactly 1894. March 1984, to be precise." - Andrej Kostresevic
