"But there was one thing Facebook developer Joe Hewitt didn’t mention yesterday, and it’s a big one: Video uploads from the iPhone 3GS." - Atul Arora from Bookmarklet

"During the Christian celebration of Lent, capybara meat is especially popular as it is claimed that the Catholic church, in a special dispensation, classified the animal as a fish in the 16th century. There are differing accounts of how the dispensation arose. The most cited refers to a group of 16th Century missionaries who made a request which implied that the semi-aquatic capybara might be a fish and also hinted that there would be an issue with starvation if the animal wasn't classified as suitable for Lent." - Tudor Bosman from Bookmarklet

Sorry for all the bumpage, people. I'm using "search" for the first time ever. - Mona Nomura

"“Some family member have had six fingers, not completely developed. But not the toes,” said Kris Hubbard, 34 and a postal worker. In fact Kris Hubbard himself had nubs of sixth fingers removed as a child as these non-functional digits routinely are. But Hubbards case is so vanishingly rare according to doctors, and because the extra digits are functional, it's not a deformity to be discarded. “It's merely an interesting and beautiful variation rather than a worrisome thing,” said Dr. Michael Treece and St. Luke's Hospital Pediatrician. “I would be tempted to leave those fingers in place. I realize children would tease each other over the slightest things, and having extra digits on each hand is more than slight. But imagine what sort of a pianist a 12-fingered person would be imagine what sort of a flamenco guitarist, if nothing else think of their typing skills.”" - Paul Buchheit

Had a friend whose toes were surgically fused to get him down to five, or so he said. Looking at his big toe, I had little reason to doubt it. Cheaper by the dozen? - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

"For women, “being desired is the orgasm,” Meana said somewhat metaphorically — it is, in her vision, at once the thing craved and the spark of craving. About the dynamic at “Zumanity” between the audience and the acrobats, Meana said the women in the crowd gazed at the women onstage, excitedly imagining that their bodies were as desperately wanted as those of the performers." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

from Paola's response link "The whole article is pitched to support that old tired cliché of sexuality that 'women are complicated, men are simple"... That's not what I took away from it, I took that men are better at connecting their mental awareness with their physical reaction, which is at once convenient and limiting. - Clare Dibble

"Jobs, in contrast, seems determined to hang on at Apple no matter what. See, in the world of Steve, it's all about Steve. When he does go, he will be remembered as a tremendous genius—but also as a petulant narcissist with a grandiose sense of his importance and a sadly limited view of the world around him. Ironically, it is Gates, his archnemesis, who will likely go down in history as the classy one: the one who knew how to exit gracefully, the one who is devoting the later years of his life, and all of his billions, to helping the world's poorest people—and not clinging to his CEO job while he insults reporters and plays petty cat-and-mouse games with Apple shareholders and fanboys." - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet

Well, my home built PCs prior to the Mac Mini lasted well beyond 3 years, let alone 3 weeks. Lisa's Acer is still going strong (especially after I upgraded the RAM last week) My experience with CD players is that they're more reliable than the ipod. We'll see what happens when my current ipod dies --- maybe I'll try a Sandisk. - Piaw Na

"It is science’s star experiment: an attempt to create an artificial sun on earth — and provide an answer to the world’s impending energy shortage. " - RAPatton

hmmm... could this be slightly more likely to destroy everything than the Large Hadron Collider's tiny black holes? stay tuned... (I seriously doubt it, personally, but I bet the same folks worried about the holes might try to spin it that way....) - Kamilah Gill

"This is the handmade three-dimensional star atlas that helps you find and identify celestial objects from anywhere on Earth, at any hour of the day or night, on any date of the year." - Mona Nomura

WOW, now that is sweet! - Jason Shultz from twhirl

"Still more daunting is the list of things Favreau can't think about as he writes the inaugural. He went for a run to the Lincoln Memorial last month and stopped in his tracks when he imagined the mall packed with 3 million people listening to some of his words. A few weeks later, Favreau winced when Obama spokesman Bill Burton reminded him: "Dude, what you're writing is going to be hung up in people's living rooms!" "If you start thinking about what's at stake, it can get paralyzing," Favreau said." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Gabe: I always told people what I did. Then I found, thanks to big-ego speechwriters and political speechwriting, that I had to explain I was not the brains of the content -- I was the brains of the presentation. The speaker created and shaped the content. When I was assigned to an exec that wanted it the other way, I quit. - Mary Trigiani

This is what happens when you drive on thin ice. - Gabe from Bookmarklet

This is the coolest thing I've seen all day, for two different definitions of 'cool'. - Gabe

"Due to the slowing economy, we could only afford to produce the prime-numbered panels. You should be able to infer the missing parts of the story easily enough. We apologize for the inconvenience." - Dan Hsiao from Bookmarklet

Friggin' Python. - Paul Buchheit

"For those of you keeping score, BYD Auto has beaten General Motors and Toyota in bringing a plug-in hybrid to market. The Chevrolet Volt goes on sale at the end of 2010. Toyota is planning a plug-in hybrid, also for 2010." - Ana from Bookmarklet

@Chris, I suspect my Roadster would be more fun to drive than any BYD. - Richard Chen

it's going to be about 28 hours of Wii tennis tourneys, for sure. Then we'll eat at Taco Bell. Then we will sleep. Then down to visit the folks and grandfolks in Port Aransas. I'm looking forward to the trip very much. - Morgan Haley

When the electric current was switched on and the rod turned to encircle the car, under long exposure the results are electrifying. - Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ from Bookmarklet

Awesome, except I think the tesla coil costs more than the car. - Mark Layton

"They found that the iPhone version, which is graphically similar to SimCity 3000 on the desktop, suffers somewhat from the iPhone’s small display, given how much typically goes on in a SimCity game screen. EA has turned to multitouch controls to help make the most of the iPhone’s screen real estate, but a few issues still remain." - David Bisset (sn) from Bookmarklet

I wonder how that will look on the iPhone's small display. - Michael

The quality isn't that bad, although framerate is down a bit. What do you think? - David Bisset (sn) from Bookmarklet

I'm fairly impressed! - Phil G

Yep same here, no support when handshaking with the iPhone. So I synched via USB, and then you can see all of your events, but you are UNABLE to add an event to a calendar from your iPhone. Not impressed. - Drew Lucas

"Feel free to read the rest of this review, but if you're in the market for a pocket camera, there is nothing else I would bother considering." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

I'll live without image stabilization and stick to my SD500, because I splurged for an underwater casing for it 2 years ago. But I'd probably buy a SD880 if I was in the market for a new point-and-shoot. - Tudor Bosman

"Once you download the BaseShield App Store to your Windows PC (no Mac or Linux versions), you can download and launch an app with a single click. The apps run on a virtualization layer on top of the OS, so there is less chance for malware to infect the rest of your PC. Each app can also be removed with a single click. The apps can take advantage of the full power of the PC, including 3D graphics chips, but BaseShield creates a sandbox for each one so that they can only access the files necessary to run the program." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Off the cuff, let me just say, we need more aggregators for making purchases, anything to smooth the process of downloading, installing, purchasing, and finding it doesn't work .... MEH - David Lynch
