I didn't see this segment, but I was watching this special in my hotel room when I was at the society of rheology conference. It made me think that I need a high speed camera. For science, of course ;)

This is very cool. I'd like to see it with other liquids, and water with different this mixed in. Like soap for instance, which messes with the surface tension...what happens then?

It's really impressive how quickly the fractures travel through glass (eg: 2:59 and 4:38). Significantly faster than a "speeding bullet".

well I don't know about MySpace in particular, but good prediction, things *like that* probably will happen. some old run-down neighborhood infested with rats and junkies gets adopted by hipsters, and next thing you know, there's an Ann Taylor next to the Pottery Barn next to the Starbucks... web gentrification?

MySpace is varied and ethnic- in my opinion vibrant. Just read a paper about the digital class divide. It also contained a study between MySpace and Facebook. The general profile leaving MySpace is white, American, 30's, higher income. The general new user of MySpace is not. You may want to consider what type of person are, before you consider MySpace a ghetto. Just saying...

Can you eleborate it. We were harping on to Facebook till just recently. Do you want, Myspace to copy your idea and everyone harping on it?

MySpace is only really good for keeping track of bands. Most people don't log on it too often so you can't send message rapidly. I remember a while back when it was popular...messages and (pre-facebook-wall) comments flying back and forth

Given it's the goto place for anyone in music to have an easy site to stream their stuff that has name recognition and gets traffic, it already is cool.

When implementing keyboards shortcuts in JS, include something like "if (e.altKey || e.metaKey || e.ctrlKey) return;" to avoid eating existing browser shortcuts. For example, I can't Cmd-Left to go back from a Picasa page, because Picasa steals the event, forcing me to mouse over to the back button.
Tyson Key, Capn' One Eye - adrift, Jérôme Flipo and 29 other people liked this
The most annoying one is when a site steals the tab switching shortcut. I'm flying along a bunch of tabs and then it's like I hit a wall. Gmail is a major offender.
- Jared Mehle
I've never run into it with Gmail. Flash seems to steal the kb by default though, so YouTube etc all cause problems if you've given focus the the player.
- Paul Buchheit
FriendFeed steals the Firefox's Quick Find / (slash) too. ;)
- AJ Batac
I've learned to use Cmd-[ because Cmd-Left depends on context: if you're editing a field it acts as "go to beginning of line". Cmd-[ always works.
- Ethan Herdrick
(I've done some remapping so I might have the details of Cmd-Left wrong.)
- Ethan Herdrick
...it's much better than it ever was -- and I'm a fan of you've done with Gmail -- but there's so much JS and AJAX-y shii, (and with HTML5 coming, video and databases, etc.) going on in browsers these days, could we be approaching the limits of what can be done with the humble Web browser?

BTW Paul you have corrupted me — I now use Cmd-J, Cmd-K to switch tabs in Safari, Camino, Firefox, Terminal, and … Emacs. You might tell me that I should've used Cmd-H, Cmd-L, I already use hide and location bar, and I didn't want to change those too.

I actually did this once when I was on my high school paper. I took a 3.5" floppy (yeah, this was 1990) opened the protective metal sleeve and put fingerprints on the disk surface. That didn't work, so I smudged it harder and repeatedly. No dice. I ended up having to score it rather deeply with a ballpoint pen before the disk wouldn't mount. It would have been easier to just finish the story.

@kevin That's awesome. I have always underestimated you, clearly. Hahahaha.

I used to pull this trick all the time, same as Kevin with "corrupted" discs. Mine were the 5" floppies though.
- Admiral Anika
Wow, back in the days of floppies, my hs teachers always and only wanted paper copies.
- Andrew C
No, Andrew, we had to turn in the paper, but the point for me of bringing in the floppy was to "show" them where the paper was. I'd get excused to go to the library to try to print it out. In that time, I'd usually just write the paper.
- Admiral Anika
Ah. I'm not nearly a fast enough writer for a plan like that.

Of course, professors will learn this trick pretty quickly.

A must visit place in Barcelona. No menus - as soon as you sit down, the waiters just keep bringing you course after course of various yummy seafood dishes and there is also Cava you can order. At some point you just tell your waiter you are stuffed and they get you dessert. Very moderately priced as well.

Karim: The Lake Wobegon effect can be positively applied to hiring strategies and effectively raise the bar over time. If an interviewer overestimates their ability, but is asked to only hire those who are better than them, the whole company improves: http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2006...
- Bill Strathearn
interesting, Bill. the heuristic i've always heard that's a variation on that is, "always hire people smarter than you are." pursued relentlessly, of course, this leads to an organization where the people with the *least* seniority are always smarter than their bosses. :-D i'm not sure if this is an expression of the Peter Principle, or the Dunning-Kruger effect ;-)

I recently switched over to the Iris Browser on WM and despite the fact that it still misses all the gloss that Safari and Opera Mobile offer I am very pleased with the overall experience. It supports keyboard shortcuts, renders pages reasonably fast, displays many iPhone optimized pages flawlessly and uses much less memory than previous versions....

The XML-RPC structures are mostly isomorphic with our existing output formats, so it was pretty easy to add in a generic way that covers all API calls. Python's xmlrpclib does all the marshaling and unmarshaling (dumps() and loads()).
- Paul Buchheit
Paul, no doubt. Two guys to thank -- Mohsen Al Ghosein at Microsoft -- he understood enough languages to know they all had the same structures, they just called them different things, and Eric Raymond who drove the integration of XML-RPC in Python.
