Google Tool to Check How Much of a Page Appears in Typical Browsers - http://blogoscoped.com/archive...
Andrey Stefanenko, 阿石, James Tindall and 5 other people liked this
"The Google Labs feature a new little tool called Google Browser Size. It just visualizes roughly how much of a page typical users (or more specifically, the users of Google) will actually see without scrolling. Just the browser client size is taken into account, and not the browser window (which include toolbars etc.), Google says. This tool can help you, for instance, to adjust positioning of an important navigation element, if you find that a big percentage of visitors might not see it directly upon page load."

perhaps... but i started taking photography seriously -- that is, thinking about it more than the odd snapshot, in february 2008. under what definition is that not a n00b? i rather think it more a ploy to be just starting out and depict oneself as knowledgeable and experienced. besides, i really don't know what i'm doing.

@tmt Quick questions: the bokeh - are they coming purely from the lens or did you do some additional work in Photoshop? I ask because in particular the leave shot, the blur does not appear to be coming from the same distance. #smlask
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
the bokeh's from the lens. in that particular shot i did some noise reduction on an additional layer and blended.
- tmt
@tmt thanks. It just has a very interesting linear line in the focal point. But as I have personally witnessed, the 100 f2.8 Macro does do amazing things. One of my favorite lens of all times (and posssibly the only non-L lens that I like) :)
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
yeah... and i'm liking it more than my 50mm f/1.4. it reaches farther and focuses nearer. i love this lens.
- tmt
I have the 50 f/1.4 and I don't like it at all. The color rendering is terrible. Requires too much post-work. But for B+W it's alright I suppose. The 85 f/1.8 caught my eye recently. Looks interesting. Many favorable reviews from the owners. See discussion here: http://friendfeed.com/smlphot...
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
that does sound interesting... thanks for the link. right now i don't think i have use for it. i've taken portraits with the 100mm and the 50mm i'm quite fond of and right now i have more lenses than i can use -- except maybe the 100-400mm big white -- and my 100mm is almost glued onto my camera.
- tmt
100mm as glue-on? Interesting. My always-on is the 24-70 f2.8L. Let me know what happens on your 100-400. Btw, did you photograph your stuff with the MT-24EX, or do you just use available light? Tripod though yes?

This is one of the outcomes of our work on Managing News that we are most excited about. We'd like to again thank the Knight Foundation for their vision to support the improvement of fundamental aggregation tools for Drupal, which helped create Feeds. In this post I'd like to explain the reasons for building a new aggregation and import API, the design goals for it, and what this is going to mean for FeedAPI."

- Keith Harrison
Except for the whole FriendFeed dying slowly in the obscure ghetto of the digirati part. As Mike said, FF in FB is better than no FF at all. FriendFeed users are far better off having it than watching it its gradual anemia grow worse and worse until one day it vanishes.
- Curtis Schweitzer
While this may never happen, consider it a possibility - your entire FB feed now available in FF.
- Tim Akinbo
It is really hard to see how FB will do more than incorporate staff and ideas from FF. FriendFeed's design of being a very open aggregator is very different than FB's walled garden ethic. I also think part of what attracted me to prefer FF over FB is the clean interface, as opposed to FB fire-in-a-bordello presentation style. I hope FB really listens on the UI side and not just on the aggregator side, or works just mines out the staff.
- David Lounsbury
This is a good thing for FF and FB both. This will lead to a more open FB and steal Twitter's thunder.
- Tim
"the writing on the wall?" ... that's just hyperbole, Leo. Paul Buchheit himself said in his interview w/ Scoble that they could have kept the service alive "for years"...there was no financial issue forcing this, like tr.im or something.

It depends entirely on what direction FF would have taken next (and what direction it will take Dave). Think most of us that have been around FF since almost the start (when it was a MUCH smaller place) miss that but this actually might be a good thing.

Agreed if they lose the FF interface.
- Wei-Yen Tan
If we put all our faith into a single platform or a single solution [Twitter/FB/Goog] then we lose touch with people, processes and where history is taking us.

I agree it's probably bad news for FF users.FF has reliable info. I don't want it to become chatter.
- Leigh Marriner
I'll admit to being a recent convert to FF but it was the best social site I have used yet (and I have used them all). I am sorry to see it lose it's independence. This will not end well for FF groupies. But my reading of the tea leaves is that FF options as a standalone service were not good. I guess this is a sign of a maturing market. Can a Larry Ellison acquisition be far behind?
- Michael Liss
simply but clear
- Gioia Feliziani
I agree with Dave's original assertion. I'm struggling to imagine the value Facebook could add to FriendFeed, and I can certainly imagine the downsides. Having an aggregator that sits independently on top of the commercial pile, while fleeting as a free service, is a valuable one.
- Allred
disagree.
- Gus
I have my suspicions too. But Facebook have been wanting to open up more for some time (e.g., they're eliminating regional networks), and I'm guessing they see FF as the key. I'm betting they'll fuse the two services soon. But let's hope they use FF to improve FB. But there's always a big chance FB will ruin FF. Stay tuned...
- Dennis Jernberg
+1 for A Mitchell's insights. If tr.im and FF have taught us anything, it's that no matter how many open api's there are, a closed platform is still a closed platform, and it can disappear overnight. We need a decentralized yet federated way to do all that FF did (and more). If it's not decentralized, we don't have redundancy. if it's not federated, we lose community an conversation.
- Don Faulkner
from BuddyFeed
another +1, Don and A Mitchell. I just finished a blog post along almost exactly the same lines, Don...decentralization and federation are both key. Good news is, this is historically how things go...nerds only, then mainstream joins, but centralized (think AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy...services and email that couldn't talk to each other). As the systems mature, then value of decentralization becomes apparent. This week could actually be an important milestone in speeding up that process *here's to hoping...*.
- Ken Kennedy
But Facebook buying friendfeed is great news for the 250+ million fb users! (And most ff users have fb :)
- Garin Kilpatrick
It would have been better (slightly) if they were acquired by Twitter. I'm not a Twitter fan, but I think FF would bring more to twitter, it would be a better fit and the users and the interface would have a better chance at "integration"
- Mario Valente
I've read its good for FF, it's bad for FF. It's better than being sold to google, it's better than being sold to twitter. Myriad variations on a theme, which leads me to conclude we haven't got a clue what the future will bring.

FB will better integrate FF than Google or others ever would -- one hopes. let's see what happens and go from there. Good news is that it will generate a ton of news for you peeps to report on.

"Google Wave is coming to replace all this stuff." And lock you into yet another platform owned by one company.
- Ian Betteridge
@Ian...Wave is a federated, decentralized, (to be) open-sourced solution. It's complicated, but it's at worst an architecture lock-in (ie, it might be hard to move a large corpus of Wave-annotated data out of the Wave infrastructure). Unless Google is pulling a flat-out lying fast one...there won't be any reason why you can't run your "own" instance of Wave and connect to the rest of the Net. So not standard company lock-in.
- Ken Kennedy
Ken, to be honest, I'll believe it when I see companies other than Google taking the code and running an equivalent service. Flat out lying? No, probably not. But "only able to do something useful if you're connected to Google in some way"? Probably.
- Ian Betteridge
@Ian, I hear ya, but I've read enough of the technical specs to lay my money on the other side of that bet.

At least Google is one company that's not likely to turn coat on its social community and sell out.

True, Ian. Google's "do no evil" doesn't keep them from killing things that aren't panning out for their world domination strategy. They're marginally more saintly than Facebook.
- Sean Gallagher
Is it because of the Facebook ad approach that Dave W and Scoble are looking to jump ship on FriendFeed?
- Sean Gallagher
Sean: I'm not jumping ship. But I will follow early adopters wherever they go.
- Robert Scoble
Or Google Notebook. Even given that and Jaiku, though, which did do a blow to my faith in Google, I would rather a Google-FriendFeed than a Facebook-FriendFeed. Mostly because I think they'd let it do its own thing rather than assimilate it. They left YouTube pretty well alone. Oh well.

I'm not sure Facebook or FriendFeed are entities whose well-being I value so highly; users, I care about, and having FriendFeed developper work their magic, their talent and their stand for open standard to benefit 300M people sounds more important to me then having them spend more time tailoring the digerati's private network.

Android would be great, if a) the G1 didn't suck so much and b) it wasn't limited to T-Mobile. When they get an Android phone that's as good hardware wise as the iPhone and not limited by carrier, then I'll consider getting one.
- Otto
Not limited by carrier? You mean like the iPhone? Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm all for non-carrier-limited phones as well. Something tells me it's going to be a lot easier to get a carrier-agnostic Android phone than an iPhone in the near future. Personally, I like my G1 with its keyboard, though it could use more memory. But if you prefer something closer to the iPhone hardware, some of the newer Android designs are a lot closer to that.
- Joel Webber
Back on topic... This is pretty much what Apple seems to want. Hell, if they could get away with doing this on OSX, they probably would. They seem to share much more DNA with the likes of Sony and Nintendo than with the PC and web worlds.
- Joel Webber
Well, I meant more in the fact that I prefer AT&T to T-Mobile, but yes, all phones are carrier-locked until we get one that finally isn't. I like the idea of the more open Android marketplace, but the fact that Android don't have a phone in my preferred carrier makes it not even an option. I'm not switching carriers for *any* phone, even if it was the greatest thing in the history of all creation. Google *needs* to have a phone that works with my carrier, and an open one would be better than a locked one.

The GV Mobile App is now available for iPhones via Cydia: http://gizmodo.com/5324883... . Google should put their own rejected apps on Cydia as well.

if M$ ran an app store... it had some serious bugs and had to close.
- Frank Pfabigan
The point of the article is Microsoft's done better by allowing developers to compete with Microsoft than stifling them. Anyone can write a browser, media player, VOIP software, and anyone can buy & run these. "App store" is just a tool used in the argument, as Apple's company-moderated store has put some non-SDK brakes on certain apps.
- Wade Dorrell
An aside... Microsoft has a number of app stores. I can think of 4 off the top of my head, some which run in Apple's model, & others which are open. At least 1 of them is for Windows... can you guess the one I'm thinking of? Again, the article/point is more about "had" than "has", and competition-stifling app store models than open app store models.
- Wade Dorrell
Doh, Wade Dorrell bringing the light back on Google. Everyone's getting called out on closed architecture.
- Mark Essel
@Samuel, the G1 isn't actually limited by carrier. Unlocked phones are available, and you can shove in any SIM card you like. It's true that the first generation of the hardware blows mighty chunkily, but that's drastically improved in second-generation devices (and the hardware is irrelevent to the openness of the platform anyway). My dad's using a G1 that I bought on his Airtel network in India, and is thrilled to bits.
- Aaron D'Souza
The unlocked version of the G1 is feature limited. The app store is unavailable on it, for example.
- Otto
Samuel: you can't use the Android Market at all? My understanding was that you could download free apps, but not paid ones (because the DRM mechanism can be easily disabled on unlocked phones). I can't test this myself, as I have a regular, T-Mobile-locked G1.

Anyone remember Palladium? Microsoft was pilloried for saying that app authors should have to get their apps signed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Michael Herf
@Michael Herf there were greviances against NGSCB/Palladium in addition to that, but what a difference an in-demand & unique device makes, eh?

"I stumbled across a paint package called Alchemy that helps inspire the creativity of the mind by doing lots of randomness. I came up with the demon's legs and head randomly, then added the door frame and tweaked the rest in a traditional paint program. It took a while but definitely something I'll use in the future."

SocialWhois is using microformats on every profile you manage there too :)

@directeur - assuming you mean SocialWhois supports hCard and XFN on profile pages, you should add SocialWhois to the hCard supporting user profiles page on the microformats wiki: http://microformats.org/wiki...
- Tantek
@Tantek, yes, it actually supports hCard, xfn, and apml too. You're right, I should add it to that page, thanks for the suggestion :)

- Dave Winer
Google OS mean google operating system like windows, that's the boob
- Benjamin
@Dave Winer: Lightweight OS, supported by a big player, built on standard tech. Nothing revolutionary, but the combo is like Google Docs to Microsoft Office.
- Matt Mastracci
Well its a start, might open up doors to a proper OS maybe something smooth like linux who knows but at least a start
- Benjamin
Chrome ran on Linux before this supposed earth shaker, right?
- Dave Winer
Holden: totally agree, re: bomb. It's an exciting project.
- Matt Mastracci
Dave: it does (sort of, thru development snapshots), but not in an officially released way. The combination of Chrome + Linux + Android's app/security models on a stack tuned for netbooks is the big thing, IMHO.
- Matt Mastracci
Also, combine all of Google's open-source components released recently (Gears, O3D, NativeClient [oops], GWT, etc.) and you start to build a compelling platform that's more than just plain web.
- Matt Mastracci
This sounds like the Sun/Java thin clients that were hyped years ago.

"I'm one of the people who posts news items to Twitter, and guess where I get them from -- RSS. I use NewsRiver, the aggregator built into the OPML Editor. The problem is most people use feed readers that don't stream new stuff past your eyes, like Twitter does, so people are left to their own devices to find the new stuff, through hunt-and-peck, and yeah they miss a lot, and are constantly reminded how far behind they are. But that's not how news works -- when was the last time your newspaper told you that you hadn't read 8921 articles from the last 289 issues? You let it go. There's too much news for one person to read it all, and that's as it should be. Basically, the news readers people use are obsolete. I think they were obsolete since day one, but people didn't believe me when I said it. Now, don't blame RSS because most RSS software is designed wrong."

Dave I use Feedly.com as a front end to Google Reader. Feedly allows me to share stuff I like on GR, Twitter, friendfeed, facebook and email

God I hope not. If I depended on FF or Twitter for news I'd be getting 8921 articles about how "Tweetie for Mac!!!" is available.

Hi dave. Did you ever get the chance to try feedly?
- Edwin Khodabakchian
I love feedly! I also built a simple reader of my own: http://akkartik.name/newsflash
- Kartik Agaram
I agree on Feedly. It is a great way to encounter information by chance, but from chosen sources. The sharing possiblities are great, as is the integration with FireFox/Flock, so you get to share pages you are just visiting via the toolbar in the bottom. RSS is still my favourite way of channelling the noise. I think there is room for growth, because most people do not even know what RSS is.
