Happy Holidays FF crue -- you've made this an excellent and memorable year for many of us. Facebook couldn't have done it without you! :)
- Christopher Galtenberg
w00t you gave me the best online year in 15 years!!! ;p Thanks a lot, everyone, for what you've done here XD

Sigh. Sometimes it is the little touches, like seasonal logos or easter eggs, that mark a site as a living project, and that you really miss when the developers have all moved on to something else.

There is a business opportunity in building an independent world class app marketplace for Android. I would love Amazon to bring top retail experience to the Android app market.

Interesting concept and I would be surprised if startups and telcos are not working on that one already. I am not sure it would speed up enterprise cloud adoption though.
