"By providing its own API on top of Cocoa Touch, NimbleKit allows would-be developers to access core iPhone functionality with Javascript functions. You can build an entire application using an HTML template with embedded Javascript, compile it and run it on your iPhone/iPod touch. NimbleKit provides functions for placing buttons, progress indicators, text and other native interface elements programatically. You can also do some styling with the HTML. Functions are available to stream Internet-based or embedded audio, search contacts, and read and process local and remote documents" Palm´s webOS in an app ? ...

You're right, Jean-Charles, I never noticed that. Do you often find yourself marking a favorite and then unmarking it later?
- Christopher Harley
All the time Christopher, I use it as a on-the-go way to remember tweets I want to read, e.g. with links, with a reply I want to think about twice, ...

Then you should notify @atebits It seems like a reasonable request.

it's already done on the getsatisfaction site (and I'm not the only one :) )

Gah! Just...just GAH. And, I got a text from Haggis and Pea...been a bit busy with the last couple weeks left of school trying to get my students graduated and off to the real world. I was also feeling a bit *too* plugged in so decided to shut everything down for a couple days. I'll poke my head in for a bit (srsly, tho...this beta?) but I'm basically working my ass off. Be good, you knuckleheads. ;)

The original version's still around. Just drop beta from the URL.

Pause is your friend, just remember that. I'm on permanent pause status and it's the only way I can deal with the new FF.

Screw the old version. Updates FTW! We wondered where you were.

It's not that I don't like the color, Kyle. It's just...different. The feed scrolls by too damn fast for sure. (Pause, FTW).

The first impression I had was overwhelming and negative, but it's grown on me very quickly. LOVE the DM feature, and the filters are fun once you figure them out.

So, I'm missing the icons on stuff that gets fed in. I think that's my biggest gripe so far. Gah, I gotta get back to work. O_o

And now it's all about the avatar with no icons there to compete? Thank the stars Melle knows how to shoot me like I'm gorgeous.

"A Japanese research team has invented a technology that if completed could display people's thoughts and dreams on a computer screen. Researchers at the ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories say they have succeeded in processing and displaying images directly from the human brain that may open the door to unexplored dimensions of the brain and shed light on the function of dreams in the human psyche. The study is still in its primitive stages and so far the images that the team has managed to pick up from electrical signals of the brain are still very simple. The research team, however, hopes to eventually use the technology to figure out dreams and visualize what people imagine in their minds. When people look at an object, the eye's retina recognizes an image that is converted into electrical signals which go into the brain's visual cortex. The team, led by chief researcher Yukiyasu Kamitani, succeeded in catching these signals and then reconstructing what people see on screen."

"While testing a high-frequency transformer at our engineering lab in San Francisco last June, another transformer located across the lab began to smoke profusely, melting a grounding lead placed across its primary winding. Normally this might not be interesting, except that the transformer responsible for this misdeed was physically disconnected from any source of power. Unable to explain what had just happened, we set up a series of experiments to determine the cause. Using the twin transformers in Figure 1 below, we discovered that the electric field between even widely spaced coils is quite capable of passing large amounts of power... without wires. Our test setup was able to wirelessly power 800 watts of light bulbs at a distance of 5 meters. By comparison the MIT/Intel wireless system using magnetic coupling is capable of 60 watts at 2 meters."

"In efforts to show Christmas isn’t just all about togetherness, good times and that “peace on Earth” crap, the Hives have paired up with ’80s popster Cyndi Lauper to record “A Christmas Duel,” a scrapping new Yuletide number that will be available as a free download November 28 to 30. In cryptic message from the Hives, the Swedes kind of explain the joint single: "It may sound weird and come as a surprise to some, but we had to. It came to us. It landed in our lap and was way too good to shake or toss. We knew we had to record it. A sign if you will." In an even more cryptic message from Lauper, she adds: "This goes to show even rat sideswipers can have a good Xmas too." (We Googled “rat sideswiper” — our usual lazy method of fact checking — and came up empty, so your guess as to what Lauper means by this is as good as ours.) After being offered as a free download later this month, the Hives/Lauper Christmas single will hit the retail shops in the UK on December 1."
