Flirting with the idea of getting an espresso machine. @coffeegeek is such a great site for learning about the art.
jqtouch really illustrates what a fine job Apple has done improving mobile webkit/safari. So much more power than when I did iui.
jQuery for iPhone (@jqtouch) is an amazing example of what's possible with iPhone web apps. Try their demo on an iPhone.
QuadCamera: another amazing app that wouldn't have existed without breaking the rules.
@gruber Let's be real: there's not one "future-proof" binary in the app store today. Apple breaks compatibility with every major OS update.
@flpatriot I agree that private methods are hugely risky, and usually not worth taking, I just hate pretending Apple won't break you anyway.
@gruber ok, they don't break binary compatibility, but they change the way APIs work and break your features, which to me is no different.
I'm personally glad the QuadCamera guy didn't sit on his hands and wait until Apple improved the public camera API.
We've all seen apps use private APIs to advance the state of the art and convince Apple to make them public. Was augmented reality evil?
@flpatriot Thanks for stating the obvious. Bottom line: Apple will break your app with OS 4.0 even if you only use public APIs, so be ready.
@stroughtonsmith definitely, though I'd prefer to see the web win out so I don't have to.
@byron_m I love it. Scrolling on that smooth surface feels amazing.
@iantimmy123 Just my iPhone.
@johncmayer got me to purchase Born in the USA for the original I'm on Fire. Great song - haven't heard it in 20 years.
Odd that Magic Mouse momentum scrolling works in every app I've tried except Tweetie.
Magic Mouse felt awkward in the store, but I took the leap and after using it for an hour at home it feels great.
@console Not that I am aware of.
Great Bear Coffee in Los Gatos continues to be my favorite place on earth.
@gruber I've been called out as a communist by app store defenders. Perfectly reasonable!
@JosephPecoraro Awesome! Time for me to start using nightly builds.
@cleatsupkeep Also I'm not a huge fan of the console not being its own tab.
@cleatsupkeep I want console.log to format referenced objects nicely instead of just stringifying or putting "> Object"
Web Inspector has outdone Firebug in many ways, but its console still sucks. Sad since that was the original point of Firebug.
@catufunwa TextMate

@halogoggles Exactly - that's why I was hoping Chrome OS would be optimized for devices that fit in your pocket.
Kind of bummed that Chrome OS is designed for mouse+keyboard and not touch screen.
@CoffeeGeek Thanks, love your site! I've been all over it trying to talk myself into getting an espresso machine.

@darthmega I am backing up over USB to an external drive.
