another word for evolved naturally? Considering Twitter is so featureless, pretty much everything can be considered organic. - Vincent van Wylick

actually, "organic" seems to be "traditional" in this case, ie. manually writing RT etc and not using the button that no-one yet has. A great euphemism, really. - Kari Silvennoinen

that's set in Settings in Gmail - Prolific Programmer from IM

FYI, that didn't work, so back in Entourage, which doesn't exhibit the same behaviour. - Vincent van Wylick

I've been told that the tax authority in Sweden almost decided that coffee at workplace is a taxable benefit. The added bureaucracy would've meant that were would not have been any free coffee at workplaces anymore. There was a huge revolt and that decision was never made. Pretty much every other benefit (even parking places) are considered taxable benefits over there, though. - Kari Silvennoinen

isn't the rhetoric for taxes that there is an environmental cost? I understand the argument for parking, not so much coffee. - Vincent van Wylick

not for employee benefits. There the idea is that employer/employee don't try evade taxes by employer paying for stuff instead of paying salary. - Kari Silvennoinen

you probably can't upgrade to a new version w/o actually paying. Also, they have companion iPhone apps. - Kari Silvennoinen

sure, but I see no reason to ever upgrade Writeroom, so that's lost income right there. As for the other apps, not very interested anyway. - Vincent van Wylick

Wouldn't that break the illusion of relevance and attention? Isn't the basic tenet of socnets that there's no spam because it's all just your friends? =) - Kari Silvennoinen

you would think so, except apparently non-friends can send you messages through being a member in the same LinkedIn group. - Vincent van Wylick

Yep, I hate that stuff, too. The gnitekram tenretni people really know how to make internet smell like used socks. - Kari Silvennoinen

"Thanks, I hope this story will inspire people as much as it inspired and still inspires me." - Kari Silvennoinen

I enjoy reading Ars's System Guides. It's a guilty pleasure. Hardware pr0n. - Kari Silvennoinen

I hope I didn't commit too many of these sins in my latest post… =) - Kari Silvennoinen

it was more about using he's instead of his, and some other small stuff. No worries. - Vincent van Wylick

"Well, e-mail and digital cameras did also a play small role helping Phil to fulfill his dad's wishes. I guess I saw last of Phil when I saw him walking with his cane to a different connecting flight terminal at Heathrow. I don't know, Phil told his story to pretty much everyone who he got to listen. After me, he tried to tell it to a young Indian girl, who was pissed that she couldn't get her frappuchino through security. "To tell her that it's all about respect", he said to me, telling that he got his orange juice just by being nice to the security guys... I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has the presence of mind to suggest a charity. Or, most likely, someone has already suggested that it at a different gate at a different time." - Kari Silvennoinen

Hankala sanoa, se muistuttaa nykyään enemmänkin feudalismia, http://www.roughtype.com/archive... - Kari Silvennoinen

are you thinking of starting a company / working with startups in some way? - Vincent van Wylick

not really, but all of a sudden there are all these different startup groups and they bring a lot of interesting speakers to these corners. - Kari Silvennoinen

vince, your recent draft finally pushed me into publishing that short story. - Kari Silvennoinen

cool. I edited it to fix some grammar stuff. Would be good if you could go through it again. - Vincent van Wylick

True, but isn't the core problem that you follow people whose updates are mostly rubbish? =) - Kari Silvennoinen

actually, that is definitely not my core-problem, with the exception of a certain Fin of course. But I realise how hard it is to make an argument for making the content in Facebook more relevant, when it's entire reason for existence is difficult to justify for so many. - Vincent van Wylick

Yeah, I hear you but it's just too easy to diss the real time web. - Kari Silvennoinen from iPhone

ZFS would probably the best thing ever and it's sad it never seems to make it to real use. - Kari Silvennoinen

I thought those things were mostly useless. Unless os x's font service crapped itself and required a cache reset. - Kari Silvennoinen

I've just gotten used to cleaning caches every so now and then. It's also a reason to reboot my Mac. - Vincent van Wylick

Pedantic meme correction: Yo Obama, I'mma let u finish, but I just want to say that Martin Luther King Jr was the best Nobel Peace Prize winner of all time. (via http://www.reddit.com/r...) - Kari Silvennoinen

true dat, true dat. Can Obama blush? That would make the similitude complete - Vincent van Wylick

Awesome remix of the best theme ever... - Kari Silvennoinen

And no, iPhone isn't no. 1. - Kari Silvennoinen from Bookmarklet

Private on Facebook, isn't that an oxymoron? - Kari Silvennoinen

Did you pre-order your Hama Touch with Camera case like I did? Because there really is no Touch with Camera experience without one! Sometimes I just like to look through the hole and pretend I'm filming my friends and family and it feels Applelishiously good! - Vincent van Wylick

No, but that's because I already got one from Jobs when I was eating some Ben & Jerry's Pineapple Rumors ice cream with him couple of weeks back. - Kari Silvennoinen

The real reason Beatles isn't in iTunes is that Steve can't stand them at all anymore after trying to play through Beatles Rock Band in Hard. - Kari Silvennoinen

"Yeah, I guess everyone has a keyboard in front of them, so the friction just isn't there. I'm really much for LCD, it's amazing how designers of processes assume that people have interest and patience to complete whatever they design. Conversely, people who came up with rebates really knew how lazy people are even if they have a financial interest in completing a process. I applaud your long project to introduce a new buzzword and method. LCD is the new KISS and GTD. You should tag this post with "lcd" =)" - Kari Silvennoinen

tag added. Thanks for your comment. - Vincent van Wylick

"I think something like this would work better to my writing style. I don't seem to be able to push out stuff without digesting it for weeks. Honestly, I don't know if it's a style thing or time constraint thing." - Kari Silvennoinen

superbusy this week, I'll try to come back to it asap. - Vincent van Wylick

those chinese factory workers just aren't that fast, ya know? But you still get it for free, right? - Vincent van Wylick

you need to use disk utility and restore the dmg file to a partition on the external drive, on your internal drive, or to a usb stick. Then, restarting and pressing alt, it gives you the option to boot from the dmg. - Vincent van Wylick

Green Day was the only band I recognized through the static. Also, it was pretty un-Apple experience (on top of static) that all the taped parts were in Finnish but the representative (that couldn't hear me) spoke English. - Kari Silvennoinen
