ahahahah stralike! - albameccanica - Arianna

"Abbiamo - esordisce davanti ai giornalisti chiusi in un recinto di transenne a palazzo Grazioli - una minoranza di magistrati rossi che usano la giustizia ai fini di lotta politica. Abbiamo il 72% della stampa che è di sinistra." Il 72%!! Infatti sono stufa di leggere quotidiani pieni di proclami leninisti. - Dania
proclami leninisti e percentuali bulgare. la decina 7- è un prefisso di default per sirvio - krom
"Ci prendono in giro anche con gli spettacoli comici" questa è la frase più inquietante. Secondo lui, la satira è di sinistra. Aristofane, infatti, appena sveglio intonava sempre "Bandiera rossa". - Dania
dania, ti ricordo che Aristofane ce la aveva col Partito Democratico allora... :) - Andrea Casadei
e aveva in mano il 72% della stampa. - Dania
"Mi avevate detto - ha tuonato - che il lodo era inattaccabile, che l'avevate scritto a quattro mani con Napolitano". Che sia stato sabotato da Zio Giorgio? - Dania

siccome non ho seguito, quanto è stata bassa l'audience? - claire ™

Anyone know of any others? These were the only three that did anything special for me. - Joshua Schnell
Woah, if you option+click the finder icon you can hide the application that has focus. I'm going be option clicking stuff all day! - Joshua Schnell
If you option click an icon in your dock it hides everything else but that application. Edit: I lied. First option click brings it to the front, and a second hides everything else. It seems to be sporadic. *shrugs* - Joshua Schnell
The sync icon gives a couple extra options as well. - Dustin Sallings
Try holding ⌘ and dragging those menubar items around as well. - Matt M (inactive)
Matt, that's a great tip as well. I wish it worked for non-apple specific icons though. :( - Joshua Schnell
I have a sneaking suspicion that the non-apple icons aren't using an Apple API (and that there probably isn't even an API available for that). - Matt M (inactive)

Bello davvero. Ottimo lavoro. E sì, peccato per WP!!!! - Matteo Balocco
grazie, rigiro i vostri apprezzamenti a tutto il gruppo di lavoro :-) - Nicola Mattina from fftogo
Molto bello. Io l'avrei solo degradato un po' in js e usato il css sprites per le tre top categories in alto. Ma sono piccolezze - Davide B.
@davide: ti confesso che non ci ho capito niente ;-) - Nicola Mattina
@nicola, non ho testato la cosa, ma probabilmente davide ti dice che se disabiliti i js si rompono un po' di cose e che le immagini delle tre categorie potevano essere gestite da una sola immagine spostata ad hoc tramite css. - Matteo Balocco
Bello! se posso permettermi... forse il contrasto tra i "grigi" è proprio pochino, qui sul mio imac, manco troppo luminoso, diventa difficile cogliere le varie "zone"... - dilog
@matteo: grazie, messa in questi termini - in effetti - mi sembra più chiaro :-) - Nicola Mattina
@gabriele: personalmente sono d'accordo con te, ma l'aspetto un po' diafano è la scelta dell'azienda per i siti istituzionali, quindi... :-D - Nicola Mattina
@Nicola: Le categorie in alto, quelle tre grosse, ora c'è un'immagine di sfondo per categorie, più un altra quando si passa con il mouse sopra. http://www.workingcapital.tele... Io ne avrei fatta una sola per tutti e sei i casi, regolandomi con la posizione del background. Carichi una sola immagine, una sola chiamata e a pagina appena aperta scompare del tutto la necessità di caricare l'immagine nuova al hover. Questo è css sprites. - Davide B.
Degradare il javascript (mannaggia non lo fa nessuno). I link CT, RM, TO che mostrano le tab dei vari barcamp con all'interno del tab il link al tour, diventano inaccessibili a chi naviga con javascript disabilitato (lynx, i disabili in genere). Quindi linkate i link con la giusta destinazione, ma date un come javascript onclick la funzione per passare di tab più un return false; che impedisce a chi ha js abilitato di andarci e permette invece a chi lo tiene disabilitato di visitare il contenuto. - Davide B.
Che poi Matteo aveva spiegato prima molto meglio di me... Vabbè, son di fretta, sorry - Davide B.
@davide: passo le tue indicazioni ai programmatori... Grazie del contributo :-) (ma scommetto che i programmatori non mi ringrazieranno ;-) - Nicola Mattina

10 Things in Life That Aren’t Fair – and What to Do About Them (Part 1 of 2) - Stepcase Lifehack
"Life’s not fair. Our thought processes are controlled by brains that are not always strictly rational. Social and economic forces beyond our control can toss us like plastic bags in the wind. Physical appearances play as large a role, if not larger, in the way we regard others – and the way others regard us. It’s just not FAIR! With a little thought, I came up with 10 things that just aren’t fair, and some ideas about how to deal with them. I’ve deliberately avoided things having to do directly with race, sex, and other forms of discrimination, hoping instead to focus on more universal unfairnesses. Maybe I’ll come back with a follow-up dealing with those issues at a later date." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

A (Google) Wave vs a FriendFeed Post. Here's a quick overview of the structure. (updated version here: http://docs.google.com/View...)
wave-friendfeed.png
blip = post & blip = comment & a document can contain photos, rich text - Ahsan Ali
a wavelet provides access control. It provides a branch where participants can be different from another branch. - Ahsan Ali
a wave, itself, can also have participants: which implies they can see/control all the wavelets - Ahsan Ali
I've written a bot that creates a post on FF for every blip... but it's not feasible. The alternative is to create a comment for every blip .. and thereby lose all formatting/photos. - Ahsan Ali
Hmm, I should flesh out the FF side of it. An FF Post can have participants. A Comment has an author. - Ahsan Ali
From the Wave docs: "Waves are hosted live conversations between multiple participants". Excellent definition. - Ahsan Ali
Did you create that graphic? - Chris Heath
Yes, Chris. With vym (mind-mapping software for linux). - Ahsan Ali from IM
cool - Chris Heath
Now if only I could get a login for Wave! - Rick Cogley
Rick, you will if you have applied for it ! Surprisingly, many people haven't. - Ahsan Ali from IM
I'll need to update this mind-map further. Will post an updated one later. - Ahsan Ali
I've applied, but it looks like I'm waiting for the September invitations. - JR Holmes from iPod
I think anyone working in tech - not just programmers - can get access to the sandbox. You just have to pitch them a good reason :) - Ahsan Ali
Ahsan, yeah that makes sense - Chris Heath
Yeah, seeing that I'd take the money and run too - sofarsoShawn <Pop-Rocks>
lol @ shawn :) - Ahsan Ali
You forgot that on Friendfeed, a post also has addressees. Addressing specific people on FriendFeed also allows for access control, since the post/thread/conversation will be private. If you post something to a private group (and not your home feed), the whole group will have access (and not the public). - Meryn Stol
Meryn, agreed. I need to work on this further. - Ahsan Ali from IM
It's a pity FF doesn't allow me to edit/reattach inline images ;) - Ahsan Ali
Sounds too complicated to start a new technology off with. They need to start more simple. - Jesse Stay
Jesse, the map is from a technical perspective .. visually, you'd just see a threaded conversation with (optionally) private sections. It is interesting, however, how much FF has achieved with a relatively simple model. Maybe their success is _because_ it was simple ? - Ahsan Ali
Yeah, the friendfeed side of this mindmap is very simplified right now. I really think Google Wave will run into some mainstream challenges for what I've read so far (don't have wave account yet). However, aren't you really just displaying the threaded feature of a Wavelet? That would just be the ability to comment to a comment in FriendFeed. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
manielse, yes. The major difference between the two is threading.. except in Wave, a comment is equal to a post itself (with photos, rich text, etc, multiple participants). Hence the recursive nature of the tree. A comment (blip) can have a reply, which can have a reply in turn.. and so on) - Ahsan Ali
But these are features that some of the FF users have wanted, to reply back to a comment and also with a richer content such as a diagram that explains the topic better. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Exactly :) - Ahsan Ali from IM
Updated version as per Meryn's suggestions: http://docs.google.com/View... This is not meant to be an exhaustive mindmap - just an overview of the structural differences. - Ahsan Ali
Nice - Chris Heath
Ahsan, I know how it looks visually - I'm on the dev sandbox. I still say it's too complicated for an initial launch. They need to start simple, the Google way. - Jesse Stay
Oh I agree that it definitely needs a lot of work. - Ahsan Ali from IM
Google Wave is all about potential. In a sense, it's like handing someone a copy of Visual Studio or Eclipse and saying, 'Okay, now go build what you want!' The majority of people will say, 'Uh... what?' - Akiva
Akiva, agreed. That's why they haven't released it to the public yet. - Jesse Stay
Http was the same way - and look what we have now? - Iphigenie
Interesting comment, Joelle. I wonder if Microsoft will branch off from the Wave server protocol at some point, like they did with XML, and do their own thing. :) Interesting times, ahead. - Ahsan Ali
Ahsan -- what a great post! Pure gold. (And I happen to think that Google Wave is the wave (oops) of the future. But I need to get hands on with it for a few days to be sure. - Sean McBride
Glad you liked it, Sean. Be sure to view the updated version (see the link I've edited into the original post). - Ahsan Ali
I didnt have a precise enough project to make it into the closed access, apart from having written time and time again that what we should have and want was an open standard, distributed system matching nearly word for word the wave press release... (although the reality will probably be different). AM more interested in what can be done on a node basis than writing bots. - Iphigenie
A key question in my mind: will Google Wave feel more cluttered than Friendfeed? The beauty of Friendfeed is the simplicity of the look and feel. Will more power features reduce the impression of simplicity and clarity? - Sean McBride
You really can't compare FriendFeed and GoogleWave, they're both completely different things. Google Wave is a set of technologies that I feel will contribute heavily to the next generation of social networking tools, however it will not replace them. http://jaredquinn.info/article... - Jared Quinn
Reshared to the Clonefeed/OpenFF room - Roberto Bonini
To answer Sean's question, the interface itself looks pretty, but inside the wave it can be difficult to manage: I don't like some of the keyboard shortcuts; the threading in a live chat becomes confusing. While the windowing is slick, you feel like you need more space (at least on my monitor). They need to work on the UI (see Jesse's points above). - Ahsan Ali
It's nearly certain that people and companies will come up with different client "front end" apps which are slicker to use, focused on using wave for a specific purpose - live chat/discussion, document management, information sharing, location enabled services, archive access, tech support, games... - Iphigenie
"the threading in a live chat becomes confusing" (I wondered about that from the first moment I saw a Google Wave demo -- it looked busy and noisy...) - Sean McBride
We strip the threading out then, sean..... non threaded real time conversations work perfectly well here on FF. - Roberto Bonini
Roberto -- I need to actually use Google Wave in threadless mode to compare it to Friendfeed. Can't wait.... - Sean McBride
Jason Calacanis
Mac Tablet will run a modified/extended version of the iPhone OS according to a developer working with Apple told me yesterday. #apple
Super..... that means , wait for it: APP STORE!!!!!! - Roberto Bonini
that's what i was hoping for. Apple Tablet + modified iPhone OS + kindle app = no more kindle / windows tablet - John Fogarty from twhirl
Every time I've convinced myself I have no need for a tablet (between an iPhone and a MacBook Pro, I have it all covered), I still find myself pretty much accepting the fact that I'll be standing in line for one. - Akiva
The same for me Akiva - Alfonso Pace from iPhone
at what point does an extended iPhone OS (a derivative of OS/X based on Darwin) become OS/X? - Jim McCusker
Won't stop me from getting one... but I really want the ability to run full OSX applications on it. - Jeff Smith
"at what point does an extended iPhone OS (a derivative of OS/X based on Darwin) become OS/X?" when you add about a grand to the price tag - jackygreen

Is The Album Dead? Radiohead Abandons it For Single-Track MP3s
Leo Laporte
I left Twitter for Jaiku. Then Jaiku left me for Google. I moved in with Pownce but it died. I went back to Twitter, but flirted with Plurk, Identica, and Rejaw, and even tried doing it myself with Laconica but it was Twitter I really loved. Twitter finally broke my heart so I left it for Friendfeed. Now Friendfeed is leaving me for Facebook. No...
It's like the internet version of Days of Our Lives - Jonathan Hardesty
HAHAHAHAHA.... - David from IM
Haha. ROFL - Roberto Bonini
is friendfeed going anywhere or will it just get better? - Craig Shipp
I'm with you Leo. - Oracio
It reads better than Soap - my roadmap is very similar but I'll forgive FF and live happily ever after with it (for the time being, anyway) - Nicholas Paul Gordon from iPhone
You're the best Leo. Canadians are the funniest people. - Dan Lessard
I'm betting they'll slowly digest it into the Facebook news feed. They claim that Friendfeed is staying put for now, but that won't last. - Ken Bauer
And we keep following Leo all over the place! - Robert Scoble
When will we all get in a long term relationship and stop getting our hearts broken? - Nate Pilling
so what is more important, the medium or the people, hope that FF will let us export our content, and our social netork :) (in my wild dreams) - abdellah
Need ice cream? I'm new to FF, and kind of sad I didn't jump on the proverbial wagon sooner! - Elizabeth K. Barone
Feels to me like maybe it's time to go back to building a distributed network, rather than hopping from service to service. - Ken Sheppardson
But where to next? That's the question. Wave sounds great, but the implementation will be a PAIN. So where? Oh LeoMoses...where is our path in the desert? - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Sounds like a hurtin' country song in the making. - Bill Rodman
Well you can't say that what is happening in the 'social sphere' is boring by any means! - Matt Cassem
I think Leo's audience is more likely to click "Like" or "comment" than Scoble's is. When Leo and Rob are both posting on FF, Leo gets more likes and comments - Mark
Didn't you leave a post earlier saying how funny it was that people complain anytime there's a change (referring to the FF buyout)? This sounds like a complaint to me. - Fleagle
Not complaining - just thinking about the future. I think a little Friendfeed DNA will vastly improve Facebook. And I think Facebook is already the big winner with the general populace. I also think we geeks need a corner somewhere else to hang out in. - Leo Laporte
And I have no plans to leave Friendfeed. Yet. - Leo Laporte
Yet being the operative word..... - Roberto Bonini
sounds like a country song to me - gavin
As for this geeky alternative, http://a.tinythread.com/ just showed up in my feed this morning. Thoughts? - Craig B.
I feel more of a personal connection with the FriendFeed team than I have with other services I've left, and that will be a big part of why I will stay as long as possible. - Louis Gray
The only way to have control is to use your own URL - Craig Shipp
Wait till you meet Facebook's randy cousin Overly Friendly Book =) - Cynthia Yildirim
what Louis gray said. I'm going to hang around until the lights go out. - Jordan Brock from BuddyFeed
What they said, I don't see any reason to leave FriendFeed unless something actually changes that makes the service worthless to me. - Craig B.
And many times you cheated Twitter, she was always loyal to you. Thats mean someting! - Jacque from m.ctor.org
yup me too Louis and I don't know any of them - Thomas Power
Plurk's not worth leaving anyone for. - Rachel R.
Leo, I think you need to change your FaceFeed status to "It's Complicated" ;) - Daynah
Play this thread off, keyboard cat. - Fleagle
You have to go back to your blog. It still loves you Leo. - Dave Winer
Screw you, Friendfeed! - Andrew Leahey
Users today are investors too - only the 'exit' for us is not lucrative.... its the other way sometimes :) - Mrinal Desai
I just had the idea: wow, how good will Faceboook become though this input? (JUST imagine tagging ppl in FB the way U can Tag them in FF.) - oliver gassner
Love Stinks. - shelter watch
Leo Laporte listed his relationship as: "its complicated." - Randy Shapiro
Damn thats complicated - drmacintosh
Don't worry Leo, its not you, its them... - Steven McGurn
I agree with Jonathan Hardesty "It's like the internet version of Days of Our Lives" - And sites keep getting killed off only to come back to life a month later! - Amy Flynn
very true, however on the other hand, we are getting closer to that one service which everyone will be on... and I dont think twitter is going to be that one - Bryce Campbell
Facebook buying FriendFeed is like having to MOVE just when you got your house all dressed up and made into a comfy HOME! I don't feel like doing it again! - Arleen Boyd
Now that Facebook and Friendfeed have married, I'm waiting for Twitfacefeedplebospacening. - Anthony Marco
Leo, u by your self made two companies (services) out of 3 famous and made Google interested enough to buy 2 of them (Jaiku & FF). Google also tried to flirt with Twitter as well. So which one u choose now? Cause we will follow u :P - Sam Ehsan
Sounds like some of my past love affairs. Of course, I'm married now. That, um, was prior. - Paul Chaney
lmfao, its so true leo, so true! - Derek Bender
Feeling a bit worn around the edges? ... me too! - Susan Beebe from iPhone
Speaking of Days Of Our Lives: Didn't that show jump the shark when the serial killer was unmasked as Marlena (a character I used to have a mad crush on, and who's now mostly a professional victim)? Then all the "killed" characters came back to life, since they were only what I call "soap opera dead"... - Dennis Jernberg
And if everyone follows you, then your all having affairs all over the place! LOL - Technogran
I think it's back to the TWiT Army! - Paul Salzman
It's not like we have proposed Healthcare reform, or anything really important, going on in the U.S.A. - Steve de Mena
it's getting ridiculous, FEDERATED is the word! - Dobromir Hadzhiev
who is actually leaving FF? have many people vowed to do so yet? I'd like to but there isn't any alternative. - Denise Young
the joys and sorrows of everyday social IT folks... :-) - Thomas Lee
Streamy seems to be crashing left & right tho. - Rick Cogley
Not to mention Pownce was shutdown as soon as it got good! - Kenneth Reitz
No mention of Microsoft Vine? - Robert MacEwan
Why do we all assume this is a bad thing? Maybe the FF Facebook combo will be better?? - Craig Shipp
Maybe they'll keep both open -- FF is the open side, and FB is the closed side. - John Flinchbaugh from IM
Social Networks are sluts? - TheDiva Rockin
It sure is. - Jason Hill
I know exactly how you feel. What's a person to do? I am mad at Twitter for suspending some of my accounts. First, the accounts kept causing the password to reset, then they were suspended, all around the time of the DOS attacks. All I ever used Twitter for was to advertise my businesses, and for fun. Now I don't know where to go. - DogPatch

One who you know will always be there even when the chips are down. One who looks like a movie star, but doesn't bust the credit... more... - Jan Simmonds
I think a lot of people LOVE to think negatively and don't want to think positively. They think FB is BAD and will ruin FF, but I think if they do it well, FB won't be the bad guy. I think most people who are irked about this are irked because they think the FFers "sold out" to the "man". - Mol, FF Music Lover
@Mollyanna - I disagree. I am irked because the future of FF is completely uncertain. It's more likely that FB will let FF flounder and close it down than it is that FB will invest time and resources in maintaining and enhancing FF. FB has other interests and is splitting up the FF dev team. That does not bode well for FF. I don't begrudge the FF devs for taking the money. I would be... more... - Lindsay

Well, sorry Brad, but I block spammers. Just because you think it's important enough to spam every group you can think of doesn't mean you're right. It's a completely selfish attitude, and I resent it. Sorry, but bye. - Ian Betteridge

Right now, I have this song on repeat... http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Brad Williamson
Maybe I'm just not very informed.. but what's the validity of a petition? As in, does a certain number of signatures entitle the people to their view? Or is it just sorta saying "Yea, we all agree.. see?" and hoping people listen? - Angelo Rodrigues
It's just a stupid reason to start a new group ;-) Nah... It's really a place where we can all gather in common agreement about something that really sucks hard. And maybe it'll get the FF management to stop partying for a minute and tend to the people who really want some answers. - Brad Williamson
Do Friendfeed users stand at risk of losing all the bookmarks, notes and other data they have collected and stored on Friendfeed over a year and longer? - Sean McBride
I'd imagine so. - Brad Williamson
Losing all of one's Friendfeed data would be disturbing. Facebook and Friendfeed should issue an official statement on this question as soon as possible. - Sean McBride
I don't know how useful it will be, but I am here too - Flavio
Included in that data is our subscribers and friends we might lose. If there's one thing that carries over, our network of connections absolutely must remain. - Brad Williamson
"We absolutely wouldn't shut (FriendFeed) down." - Quote from FriendFeed management member on zdnet.com blog http://friendfeed.com/media-n... - Brad Williamson
wouldn't is not won't, and they always speak about the short term. what'll be in the long term? - Flavio

They'll speak up in time, give them a chance. ;-) Paul has said he'll post more soon - I think they all deserve some sleep. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Speaking of FF feedback, this ridiculous cross-post should be exhibit #1 about why we need to be able to hide individual posts when browsing groups/rooms. - Andrew C (✓)
Thanks for the bump, Andrew ;-) - Brad Williamson
+1 Ian. We don't need no user drama... - Bill Sodeman
signed. - Valley
+1 to Brad. I like large crossposting. Brad is announcing possible new groups you can visit. It is good. Nobody is forced to go there. As to petition issue, Im sure FF team already reads it and is aware. http://friendfeed.com/petrnews - pb:
See Paul's statement here: http://ff.im/6qQYJ - and have some patience, friends. - Bill Sodeman
And here is the response I left to Paul's statement... There are a few promises and guarantees that you SHOULD be able to provide. Like, that our network of friends will remain intact and that the features that make this site great will remain. If you can't make those promises, then you shouldn't have done the deal. I sure do hope that the real-time search engine wasn't the centerpiece... more... - Brad Williamson
Such a horrifying picture... Why am I getting Service Unavailable on this?? - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
I may have missed it but who drew that picture? - Benjamin Taylor
Keep this the hell out of the twitter room, thanks. Not commenting in any way on the cause, just your spammy blasting of it around. - Brad McCrorey
Ha! Don't you know that "Brad's" aren't supposed to hate on other "Brad's?" - Brad Williamson
Not hating on you, just your methods. I'm not an Apple Room admin, but I'd delete it out of here too if I were. - Brad McCrorey
Turning yourself into a spammer isn't going to help your cause, or any other. Quite the opposite. - Brad McCrorey

Thanks Andrew :) - Brad McCrorey
Signed, not that I'm particularly worried about what they'll do, but to show solidarity. - Ron Bailey
also what happens to our stuff which we have posted on here if the close the site? - Chris Bellinger
I think what we all need is a statement from 'someone' at FF or FB to give a commitment as to (if or when) they plan to pull the plug. - Jim Connolly
I'm in. Thank you. - Niki Costantini
sign all the petitions you want it will not change a mulit-million dollar deal no matter how many you get. Don't get me wrong but these guys are living the American dream. It sucks to us because we all loved the idea of a community of like minded people, but at the end of the day no one owned this site but the owners. We may bitch but get real, there decision is signed. Move forward and... more... - Lokei Atikus™®
nice graphic! - Mike Chelen
signed. but i don't think this petition or any others (including facebook pages/causes) that crop up in the ensuing days are going to make an iota of difference to what has already happened. - Vijay
My guess is that FB will keep FF the way it is due to the fact that FB and FF operate in completely different realms...with FB adopting some of the FF technology to enhance the FB realm. That said, what FB now needs to make very clear is a commitment to keep FF the way it is. Although probably unintended, the acquisition announcement is having a chilling effect upon third party FF developers, most notably Seesmic, due to the uncertainty of the whole thing. - Stephen M. Otto
Per this there are no immediate FF changes but no guarantees http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL... - Carey Lumeng
Pros on the "Facefeed": actually may keep friend feed alive. Anyone know how they make money. May improve Facebook integration (<1% of my facebook friends are on friendfeed...no I don't live under a rock...just in the MIdwest). May actually improve FF function. I found a learning curve that I had to get over to make it effective. Took me 2-3 goes at trying to commit to the platform.... more... - Carey Lumeng
My biggest concern is that the deal was established in an effort to not bring our community sharing features over to Facebook, but to simply give them access to FriendFeed's real-time search engine. - Brad Williamson
Can't you simply import your Friendfeeds data via RSS? Just a thought... - darnell from BuddyFeed
We now have a hundred Likes on this entry and 94 subscribers to the FriendFeed Petition group http://friendfeed.com/friendf... . I think if we break the 150 mark on each of these, FriendFeed will DEFINITELY void Facebook's acquisition of them. Yup, I couldn't be more confident that that's what will happen. Done deal, dudes... done deal ;-) - Brad Williamson
Yes... Santa Claus, Batman and Spider-Man will tear up the deal documents themselves! ;) - Bill Sodeman

10 iPhone shortcuts for new owners
"Apple is known for loading its software with handy shortcuts and tricks to make your life easier. You will struggle to find a definitive list of these in the documentation, and many people actually discover them by accident. With the iPhone and iPod touch, Apple designed a whole new operating system. Essentially a stripped down version of Mac OS X, the iPhone/iPod OS has some great hidden shortcuts and timesavers, which could make your everyday use of the device quicker and easier." - Amani from Bookmarklet

Note to Apple Fanboys: I can be unhappy with some of Apple's behavior and still love my iPhone and MacBook Air. #abiguity
but the Air is underpowered - Craig Shipp
It is far from underpowered for its form factor. I use it as a development machine and it does just fine. - Sam Pullara
