OK. Here's my hissy fit for the day. I'm really starting to get tired of developers saying that the app store is no way for people to make money, it's not a solid business model, blah blah blah. "Why is Apple being so capricious with their decisions?" or "Apple should just let us screw ourselves if we want to, with an open mode." Let's apply this thought process to other retail models, because, after all, the app store is a retail outlet, that has a really specific consumer. It would be like a BMW accessory store, but with the consumer base and inventory of Walmart. Let's think about retail some more. Walmart makes capricious demands of their vendors, and no one seems to have a problem. "You can't put '25% Free' on your packaging, use '25% Bonus' instead. Oh wait, we changed our mind, you can put free on it again." Also, getting a coveted spot on Walmart's shelves is also a tough process, and equally capricious.

Mike, I just shot you a heads-up via Twitter: I've implemented stand-alone drilldown pages. Here's yours: http://twerpscan.com/info... — and here's mine: http://twerpscan.com/info... . If you want to look up another user, either click the current user's name in the headline to change it, or go to http://twerpscan.com/info... and enter it there. It's just a first shot at the moment, but I'm having plans for more. Let me know what you think! :) - Carlo Zottmann

It goes back a hell of a lot further than it used to. I remember when 130 and 230 were the limits. Now we're at 630. The trend seems to be in our favour. - Mitch

Happy to hear that FF does not delete anything. The lack of deeper/unlimited paging is one of the primary reasons I have not utilized FF as much as I would like too. Can't wait for these technical issues to be resolved. - Derek Lerner

"In 1903 faced with the welter of sans offered by ATF, Morris Fuller Benton designed News Gothic, a 20th century standard. In 1995 Tobias Frere-Jones studied drawings in the Smithsonian and started a redesign. Cyrus Highsmith reviewed News Gothic, and with the Font Bureau studio expanded it into Benton Sans, a far reaching new series, with matched weights, widths and performance well beyond the limits of the original: FB 1995-2008" - Chris Messina from Mento

Gosh yes, and can we also have a way of identifying them along the top of the room too. If you've pulled in a lot of Blogging feeds there's no way of identifying which one you're looking for. A nightmare if you want to change a feed. - Isha (Marysia)
