"up." - Jonathan Sterling

"I wish…" - Jonathan Sterling

"I think what he means is a synchronous network or something like that; that is, where everyone he follows is following him, and vice versa." - Jonathan Sterling

"It's a “whored” or “whores”… /badpun" - Jonathan Sterling

Another interesting example is that AIDS is caused by “Beanes”… FAIL - Jonathan Sterling

"I have written a nicer app for Techmeme, called Techmeme Mobile (http://www.itunes.com/apps...). It has search and a much nicer UI, and will tell you which articles are from today, yesterday, and before yesterday. It currently lacks some of the more advanced features that you mention you would like in a Techmeme app, but I think that you would be at least more satisfied with it than with “Tech News”." - Jonathan Sterling

"VLC's buttons are really dated-looking on the Mac. That being said, there are some really great mods of VLC available on DeviantArt that can make it suck less, UI-wise. OpenOffice.org, on the other hand, does not look good at all, even a little bit. Anything more than a cursory look will reveal the weird black boxes next to the scrollers, the dated-looking buttons used in dialog-boxes, the unnecessarily bold text in spreadsheet column/row headings, the poor, non-native font-rendering, and the user of a toolbar that has so many buttons you would think you were running a Windows/Linux app. Oh, wait, you are. I'm not really going to slam too much on OpenOffice.org Mac, because it sucks just as much on Linux. I think that people who love FOSS so much are rather like vegans: they try so hard to love something unloveable that they lose all sense of perspective on quality. “No, really, the tofu whipped cream is really great! I just can't get enough of it!”." - Jonathan Sterling

"Um, what part of this looks like a dock? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped... ..." - Jonathan Sterling

"Dugg down for “touch”." - Jonathan Sterling

"And by “pretty well” on OS X we mean “totally disrespect user interface continuity in every way possible and make me want to puke”, right? :)" - Jonathan Sterling

"OO.org is really terrible. I tried to love it for several years, but eventually gave up. Then I tried to love Office 2007, but also gave up. I ended up falling in love with XeTeX for typesetting documents, Excel 2007 (the only good part of MSO 2007) for complex spreadsheets, iWork Numbers for simple spreadsheets, and iWork Keynote for presentations." - Jonathan Sterling

Yay! Go SL! I can't wait! - Jonathan Sterling

"I agree with you, but that wasn't really a relevant reply to a comment meant as a joke." - Jonathan Sterling

"It makes we want to do that, do it?" - Jonathan Sterling

But being rude to a police officer at any location, be it your property or not, can get you arrested. Obama was racist to automatically assume that the police acted incorrectly, for had it been a white professor who was arrested at his own home, there would have been no problem. - Jonathan Sterling

"@thetruthis What was that about? I am a senior in high school." - Jonathan Sterling

"Because stuff like this is actually useful to people who do more than sit on their asses and do nothing." - Jonathan Sterling

That is why we always beat those European communists. We will sacrifice everything for a future, whereas they will sacrifice nothing, and demand the present. - Jonathan Sterling

Zomg, hilarious. - Jonathan Sterling

I really hope so. It is really fail for developers at the moment. - Jonathan Sterling

"FAIL… :)" - Jonathan Sterling

Netbooks are mentally retarded. iPod touches and iPhones should have that rôle, and more heavy, keyboard-centered computing should be done on a Macbook or desktop Mac. - Jonathan Sterling

Another reason not to jailbreak your device. Dumbasses. - Jonathan Sterling

TechCrunch’s behaviour in this case was totally unethical. - Jonathan Sterling

"Actually, in my experience, kids in high school generally have only the vaguest idea what Twitter is. Facebook is still where they hang out (thank God)." - Jonathan Sterling
