The Pursuit of Perfection: Hidden Gems in Apple Design - http://theappleblog.com/2009...

"If you ask any of the Apple “fanboys” why they are so devoted to Apple, at least one of the reasons you will hear is that Apple “sweats the small stuff,” which really proves its dedication to user experience and attention to detail. Here’s a few of my favorites that demonstrate Apple’s attention, not just to its hardware and software, but to even the product packaging. See how many you may have noticed before, and feel free to add any that I might have missed in the comments below."

It ignores the period, firstname.lastname is the same as firstnamelastname, just like Gmail!
- Gary Etie
I started a thread to share people's new Facebook URLs but Scoble's gets almost a 100 responds. At least I got http://facebook.com/vinko
- Vinko
Mike: you can't. I have an account that I haven't gotten one yet on.
- Robert Scoble
if you locked one in, Mike, then when you go to pick, it will show your name instead of choices.

firstname.lastname is a respectable username i think, especially if one or the other is not available

isnt it better to not put a . between ur first and last name?

- Jason Pollock
Ben: You are right, it looks like Facebook gives you both FirstName.LastName and FirstNameLastName.
- Rolf Schewe
Jason: when you choose a FirstName.LastName or without a dot Facebook reserve the other for you.

I like that they prevented brand new accounts from grabbing names. Good decision FB.

Firstinitial.Lastname also resolves to FirstinitialLastname ...EDIT: in fact, it seems that you can insert arbitrary and multiple periods anywhere and it will resolve to your periodless name, much like a GMail address.

Wonder if this tread will be longer than the Laporte/Arrington one.

- KyleHase
Kathy: "sighing" is still available.
- Robert Scoble
Yes, I fell for Facebook's massive publicity stunt and got sucked into watching the timer count down to zero so I could get /freddavis... same as I have here on FriendFeed, Twitter (if I ever get into my account again, sheesh!), Flickr, etc. ...and beat out the over 2,000 other Fred Davis's in the US...

StephenPickering wasn't hard but there is a guy in Australia who's going to be pissed at me
- Stephen Pickering
Matthew: I registered "Scoble" for my son at 9 p.m. So that's the answer. I already had RobertScoble saved by PR. But I probably would rather have "Scoble."
- Robert Scoble
This says it all: http://www.facebook.com/help...

Robert: By registering "for my son" do you mean you logged in as him and picked that name?
- Ken Sheppardson
Pantalaimon

could it be that the small caps twitter and not the big caps Twitter is available?
- polou/indigo_bow
toptwitterer is still available. So is topgeek. Jorge, remember that I'm using the tool where you can register them. That's the only way to really check.

good lord, it's just facebook, the internet equivalent of the yellow pages. Just take your real name and be done with it. This is all the excitement of filling out a change of address card at the post office.

Robert - how many names are you going to check - I got mine.
- Robert Freeze
Change of address at the post office?!! I'm there!!!

Robert: I'm just having fun.
- Robert Scoble
There are 11 people with the name Robert Freeze on Facebook - I wanted to make sure I got mine the way I have all the other pages
- Robert Freeze
Fun is very underrated
- Stephen Pickering
@Scoble what tool are you using? or it's a private tool?

Speaking of which, justhavingfun is still available. So is echochamber. Jorge: I'm just using http://www.facebook.com/usernam...

http://www.facebook.com/fender is available: for you devious luthiers

Robert Freeze, I don't think record threads are created, I think they happen. Lots of people try to get one going, whereas Scoble just has the dynamics going at this point in time, and I think he'd agree.
- Gary Etie
Did you notice that somebody got http://www.facebook.com/friendf... - and it's not this website!
- Paul Holmes
Drat. Someone took awesomer
- Joi Ito
hmm, probably friendfeed could file 4 infringement @paulholmes 2 facebook if its not legimate
- polou/indigo_bow
Paul - that's interesting - why would they?
- Robert Freeze
Robert, because they can )register it, that is, not keep it, when friendfeed comes a callin'
- Gary Etie
polou: friendfeed is a trademark, so they will lose that user name if friendfeed cares.
- Robert Scoble
It could be they legitimately hadn't heard of this, and figured it sounded good.
- Paul Holmes
I'm sure somebody at FriendFeed will fill out the form at http://www.facebook.com/copyrig... and /friendfeed will point to the FF<->FB app within a week.
- Ken Sheppardson
robert, but friendfeed can still file to facebook as an infringement of a trademark.

How hard could it have been to prevent creation of trademarked names, without verification from the trademark holder? Easier than it's going to be to straighten out the mess. It's got to be part of the planned hype, with built-in controversy, and ongoing coverage.

I am curious though. If there is no funding for it, is he willing to get some users on it in order to promote the technology?
- Rob Diana
I met Terry a while back. This thing really is awesome. My impression is that he's basically a little concerned with premature exposure. He has this idea of what it is and should be, and is worried that people won't get it. Maybe he's over it now-- joking aside, Scoble featuring is a big promotion. I hope he gets the attention he richly deserves.

I really enjoyed the videos. Not only is his idea a possible "game-changer", but watching him describe his work it's impossible to miss how passionate he is about it. I wish him the best of luck!

"Classics by Charles Dickens, JD Sallinger and Jane Austen are among the novels to have been boiled down to a sentence by bookish readers of the micro-blogging site. Whilst the haiku-like brevity of the synopses will appeal to modern readers more accustomed to skimming their emails than working through 600-word tome, literary purists may be put off by the internet slang. Samuel Beckett's bleak play Waiting for Godot is reduced to: "Vladimir and Estragon stand next to tree and wait for Godot. Their status is not updated." The fuss surrounding the publication of DH Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover in 1960 is summed up with the web acronym for websites that are not suitable for work: "Upper-class woman gets it on with gamekeeper." Tim Collins, a writer who has collected some of his own potted summaries in a new book, said that while the compositions are intended to be tongue-in-cheek the platform opens up new possibilities for art and education.
