For most situations, I prefer the iPhone. I get really bad reception with my rock.. and it's hard to check my stocks and get directions to the pizza joint with it. But it works great as a makeshift mallet for pounding tent stakes when camping! My iPhone's a little to fragile for that. At least my iPhone can double as a flashlight in a pinch!

The overuse of AJAX in the Google Reader interface is full of FAIL. Almost as annoying as lack of permalinks to session info on MIX09 site
sebmos liked this
Hoping for some elaboration here...
- Mihai Parparita
Really? Why?
- Rob Fahrni
1. Everytime I hit back after reading an article it goes back to the google home page and then "remembers" it should be on Google Reader then loads that 2. Lots of SLOW loading circles when clicking next, I'd have preferred a page based model since I expect it would have been much faster than what I had to endure yesterday
- Dare Obasanjo
I find use of AJAX a blessing. My laptop is tethered to my mobile and I get online via GPRS. Reader's usage of bandwidth on demand is exactly what I need.
- Mahesh CR
Yeah, what the heck are you talking about?!
- jakebf
We must use Reader differently — I never hit Back while in Reader, and Reader is incredibly fast for me.
- Amit Patel
I don't use back-key either. Normally just J,J,J,J,V,CTRL+W,J,K,J. GoogleReader rocks if you are using keyboard shortcuts only. I didn't event know you can click "next" somewhere.
- Tapio Kulmala
Yes, I too agree that Reader's use of Ajax is brilliant. It's all J,J,J,J with no waiting, no issues at all. Mobile reader shows even more brilliantly how well this model works. If you've got only Edge connectivity, it's just about the only usable web app out there!

Seesmic: someone has to defend Web 2.0’s most popular whipping boy - http://www.inquisitr.com/5366...
michael silverton, Michael Reuter, Loic Le Meur and 16 other people liked this
I think that in a bad news cycle, we tend to focus on the negative. Seesmic is doing the right thing by giving themselves a little extra breathing room. Just because you don't see a biz plan, doesn't mean there isn't one. Loic is very sharp, been around the tech block a few times. Seesmic is easy to understand, interact with and share- hope it wins big. I really appreciate seeing positive articles like this on The Inquisitr, thank you.
- michael sean wright
I like Seesmic. If I looked better on webcam, I'd use it too.
- Bryce Roney
Nice Fish, not seeing the business plan aside, it seems to me that first to cut is being used as a justification that there is something endemically bad about Seesmic. I don't see it this way. I see Loic making sound business decisions to prep the company for the storm ahead. He should be congratulated for making those calls now where others still haven't.
- Duncan Riley
I couldn't agree more. Giving themselves breathing room means the long term plan has a better chance of succeeding. Loic has been very open, wish this could be said of more entrepreneurs.(And when I said "you" I meant the collective, "you.", crowd)
- michael sean wright
Nice post Duncan. I like your perspective on this and your coming to Seesmic's defense, it's real "Mavericky" ;-) and I mean that as a complement and not a diss. With all the doom and gloom it's important to look at ROI beyond monetization and like you said,"using Seesmic as a noun to describe a bad startup is anywhere close to justified or fair either" I agree. There are a lot of "build it they will come" products in place and as you pointed out Facebook is a good example.

In a sense, yeah. You might as well be flippant toward people who have businesses in low income areas that get repeatedly hit by theft, etc.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Yeah, or people who live near an active fault line. You can't escape natural disasters. And I can totally understand why someone would want rebuild their home after it's been ruined.
- Alex Scoble
Nono I'm not referring to people without options. I'm referring to people who were wiped out by Katrina, and then opted to rebuild in the same place.
- Anthony Citrano
Guess that 1.5 million people who died recently in an earthquake in China should just move. And when earthquakes hit Los Angeles or Anchorage, they should've just moved. And the great Chicago fire... and the London fire... and the Tri-State tornado... all should've just moved.
- Akiva Moskovitz
it is terrible... I actually had the same thought yesterday.. on the way home from church (I'm horrible, I know) then I remembered: it's the poor who are affected most, property value there must be crap, and only the rich can really afford to relocate.. so I feel sorry for them. Praying that most ppl heeded the warnings this time and got the heck out!
- Jasmin Smith
Such as rebuilding after the Northridge earthquake or one of your area's many brush fires.
- Chris Baskind
yes you are Anthony....LOL...seriously I feel ya and if this hits New Orleans again, I think it will be the end of the city as we know it once and for all.
- R. Ferguson
@Jasmin, most of the "poor people" affected by Katrina either no longer live in New Orleans or still live in a FEMA trailer. They don't have a rebuilt house to lose this go-round.
- Trish R
No. When you buy a house that type of info is disclosed. It is your choice to take that risk. Considering that most of New Orleans is below sea level and has a history of flooding, it's no secret that your house will eventually get flooded. That being said, there are very few places to live that are completely immune to some sort of natural disaster. I live in the SF Bay Area which will eventually be hit by a large Earthquake. I won't ask anyone to feel sorry for me if my house gets damaged.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Ok, but I DON'T feel sorry for the millionaires that build their houses on the side of a cliff and then expect insurance to cover it when it slides off... or, frankly, for the multi-million dollar houses and beach-front condos that get blown down by hurricanes. Those people shouldn't be allowed to get aide... most of them have other houses they can go to anyway and they're fools to build there.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
not at all. Why they don't just bull doze the whole lot and relocate them somewhere is a mystery. This sort of disaster is ALWAYS going to happen when you built a city 10 ft below sea level. Akiva: earthquakes are a little different: they aren't as regular, and not always as destructive, the odds are a pile better. For New Orleans, the odds are always bad
- Duncan Riley
the only people that i don't feel sorry for are those who refuse to leave even though they've been warned for days.
- ::Kristen::
wow. no comment.
- Mona Nomura
Good idea, let's just bulldoze New Orleans and have Mardi Gras in South Dakota, or maybe the Jazz Festival in Utah. Also, with property values so affordable in California, it's understandable why people would take their chances on earthquakes and fires.
- Trish R
The lack of compassion in this thread is deafening
- Bwana ☠
It's because they weren't there. I was. I helped rebuild. The scents still lingers and the sights still haunt. And I LONG learned, if I don't have anything nice to say, to not say it at all.
- Mona Nomura
I was watching a show on the science channel about hurricanes... one reason why they're so destructive now is that we've gotten rid of all the marshlands and forests that used to buffer the inland and built real estate instead. I think we should take back 80% of the coast line and declare it a preserve and maybe it would help make the hurricanes less destructive. Instead of spending money to rebuild there, spend money to relocate those people to less disaster prone places, like Arizona.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Not South Dakota, Trish. Too risky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Chris Baskind
I kind of agree. Rebuilding below sea level with the levees haven't really been adequately improved just seems like you are asking for trouble. On a lesser scale we had a river/creek near my house that always over flowed every few years. Then they built houses on the land. It shouldn't of been any surprise when it flooded...
- Charles
I wouldn't say it's lack of compassion, Bwana. It's just the lack of context. I don't daily feel the plight of the AIDS issue in Africa but it doesn't mean I lack compassion.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, but you don't say those AIDS infected folks need to use a condom. There's a difference in being complacent and being cold.
- Bwana ☠
i'm with you bwana, it's sad to see such callousness.
- Admiral Anika
Bwana, yep, that's true.
- Akiva Moskovitz
It seems "stupid" to rebuild in an area that you know is probably going to be leveled again, but you wouldn't understand until you're put in that situation. It's called Empathy. There might be some people who are stubborn, but some people really have no choice.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I don't see how it's callous - and Rahsheen, to reiterate, I am talking about those with options who opted to rebuild in the same place. It just seems pretty fucking stupid to me. But that's just me, I guess I'm an asshole. You know, a big flaw I often see in the social liberal's way of seeing the world is that almost any attempt to ask people to take responsibility for themselves and their choices is almost always met with accusations of coldness or a lack of empathy.
- Anthony Citrano
Where are they supposed to rebuild, Anthony?
- Mona Nomura
Well, that's why I mentioned some people just being stubborn.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Also, I have less of a problem with that (and the stubbornness Rahsheen mentions) when I'm not subsidizing said stupidity and stubbornness.
- Anthony Citrano

@Mona - where?? where??? I dunno, have we run out of above-sea-level buildable land?
- Anthony Citrano
Yeah, that real estate market is booming I hear
- Bwana ☠
Anthony, I dunno, have we run out of above-sea-level buildable land with the infrastructure to accomodate millions of people like roads, schools, water, electricity, communications, sanitation and... jobs? If you can't afford to move, you might need the last one the most... I'm just saying 'move' isn't a simple answer.
- Johnny Worthington
For me, stating that you don't want to "feel sorry" for people losing everything because they should move above sea level, to me, shows a lack of compassion and empathy.
- Bwana ☠
It's always black and white from the outside
- Bwana ☠
Yes. Everyone can make bad decision from another's perspective but may have very good reasons for doing so without others understanding.

If a place is truly uninhabitable, the people will have no choice but to get out. There is a beach on the big island in Hawaii that is totally beautiful and used to be inhabited. Every so often a tsunami would come in and wipe the entire place out. Eventually people came to their senses. There does seem to be a bit of that lacking here.
- Pete Delucchi
Of course I feel sorry for those who've lost everything. My point is that if you're going to lose everything, it's going to happen whether you're there to "protect" it or not. Self first, things 2nd. I know it doesn't make it any easier (trust me, I'm in hurricane central as well), but you can't replace yourself while you can replace your things. All we can do is pack up our important papers and whatever money we can and enough clothes to last us a few weeks and hope for the best.

If you moved everyone who in the way of a natural disaster we would have to move half the United States. Everyone who is on a flood plain, who live in earthquake country, who live in tornado alley.

Aaron... I'm all for personal responsibility... but... last time I checked, banks don't accept bottle tops. My land is worthless.

Maybe we can move to the next state. Oh, wait, I'm not from here. Will thier GOVERNMENT give me assistance? Why should those people help me based on my stupid choice? Hey, assistance is being offered where I live...

That is why Government must be involved. It has to help people who can't just pick up and move...

It's not that simple... Many of those people grew up there, and it's not easy to abandon someplace so close to your heart, no matter how bad the environment. Look at the desert or Arctic, for example -- why would anyone want to live there? Because that's all they've known.

"No one" being a generalization. The maximum ratings available at the overnight hours for USA. I'm up at those hours, too, but you and I aren't enough to subsidize the entire Olympics.

Why is the rant specific to one thing? There are a million usability differences between Windows and OS X.

I imagine it's an iTunes-on-Windows rant. I love iTunes (and use it on Windows at work), but it's definitely a horrible Windows citizen and Apple should fix that.

@James - it's a Safari on Windows Rant ;) iTunes = I gave up already.
- Yuvi
Safari on Windows isn't just a bad Windows citizen, it's a freaking Windows rebel. Eschewing ClearType in favor of its own font renderer? I don't like ClearType at all compared to the Apple font rendering system, but consistency is needed. Safari on Windows will never take off because it's such a user interface jolt.
- Jared Smith
I'm told Office 2k8 for Mac and the new Mesh Mac client are pretty good Mac citizens. Anyone who can confirm?
- Yuvi
Ah, agree then. Safari on Windows sucks. Everything from the way a pc renders fonts to dialogue boxes is different from a mac - philosophically and technically. Why use it at all? More than that, why did they make it even? Its like Taco bell offering Stir Fried Chicken.

Suskind: Bush ordered fake letter linking Iraq to 9/11 - http://rawstory.com/news...

"Bush allegedly ordered the CIA to forge a handwritten letter from the head of Iraq's intelligence service to Saddam Hussein that purported to link the Iraqi dictator to the ringleader of the hijackers who toppled the Twin Towers on 9/11 ... According to Suskind's book, the CIA had been protecting Habbush in the early months of the invasion; the agency persuaded the Iraqi intelligence chief to write the letter in his own handwriting and paid him $5 million. CBS White House correspondent Bill Plante reported Tuesday that Suskind's sources had seen a draft of the letter written on White House stationary."

Windows has been closely associated and branded as THE operating system for all needs by MS. It has also become the main cash cow and generator of its revenues during the entire period of its existence. I don't see how can MS shed off the Windows skin all that easily or in such a short time, especially considering that Vista is just out and it has "Windows" in front of its name.
- Hayk H.
Any future successor "non-Windows" operating system will still be branded as Windows. Precedent is Windows NT. The Windows brand is too important to sideline.
- Ian Fogg
These same speculations have been going on for years. Just because Microsoft is branching into developing another breed of OS doesn't mean they are going to abandon Windows.
- Amit Morson
@Ian - More your area than mine, but Windows is many things including a brand, a product, a paradigm, an architecture and a platform. MS might keep any combo of those five things, but you're right - the brand is the appealing part.
- Rob Sterling
"The Cloud" is simply a word for remote services - not a magical mystery future. The reality is that the personal workstation will in some form always be with us. There will always be advantages to having a local (non bandwidth limited) source of computing cycles to enhance the manipulation or presentation of data in a lot of tasks. That workstation will ALWAYS need an OS of some form.
- Soulhuntre
Microsoft is aggressively evolving Windows so that it will be capable of supplying that part of the computing chain. Research projects are playgrounds for that. Those folks who claim that the "operating system is dead" are simply not looking at what they are saying from a systems point of view. They are using the term "Operating System" and "PC" to refer to a type of workstation use case... not a technology.
- Soulhuntre
Didn't it already "die" and "everything move online"...like...6 or 7 times already? Each time, people realize that there are places where the internet isn't accessible, isn't fast (relative to the desktop), and isn't private enough. Not to say there isn't a place for web services (obviously -- we're on one), but this whole "The desktop is dead! Dumb terminals for everyone!" hype is just pendulum swing nonsense.
- Robert Fischer
Weather it happens or not is irrelevant Robert. It's a plan B and a pretty good one imo :)
- DC Crowley
You guys are missing the point here. It's about virtualization. Right now with free OSes like Linux you can bascially run as many computers as your hardware has memory to support on a single physical machine. There are lots of benefits to this. One being you can literally take your desktop from one computer to another. Window's licensing won't allow that. They need to come up with this lightweight OS with flexible licensing to compete.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Will it get rid of Windows for most consumers and as the host OS for your machine? Probably not. But it will enable you to use Windows anywhere you want to as long as there's a virtualization product installed that can run your VM. Ultimately they might end up getting more exposure through that since people will stop caring which OS runs on the hardware... just which OS runs on their personal VMs.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Whatever apps don't end up in the cloud in a few years will end up on your personal VMs. And you'll be able to take those with you wherever you go (we've already got USB drives that are cheap and hold upwards of 16GB). It's the future.

I don't think it's dice. It's generally a good practice to build something from the ground up to learn what's possible and then take those possibilities into an existing project. If you tried it against an existing codebase you get more "can't do that" then "How can we make this work." I do it all the time, probably more then I should.

That's true. But I compared different services you could use for sending status messages to your friends or to aggregate your status streams and feeds you're publishing on other sites.
- Benedikt Koehler
ah, I see. sorry, my fault. didn't look close enough. :)
- Marcel Weiß
I expected Twitter to be that big, I expected FriendFeed to be that big - what I didn't expect is that Plurk isn't a small player either! Still, I think that Twitter is *not* a lifestreaming-service. You write everything you do on Twitter, but only stuff you discover or major stuff on FriendFeed. That's a big difference.
- sebmos
@sebmos true, there is a difference between lifestreams and microblogs. but in practice their features tend to converge. you can write what you do on friendfeed and you can post your links to twitter. Also, remember the "friendfeed is a twitter killer"-debate? somehow, they are seen as competitors. what do you think?
- Benedikt Koehler
@benedikt depending on your usage they can be competitors. but I'd say that for the most people using one or both of them they're more complemental.
- Marcel Weiß
@Benedikt - Sure, FriendFeed can be used as a micro blog, but it's not really optimized for that, and even though many asked FriendFeed to become a Twitter competitor, that's clearly not on their road map. Twitter is me talking about my life, FriendFeed is discussion. If Twitter is used to discuss things, it's misused. (I think Twitter is misused by early adopters, I don't think Twitter will be used like this by mainstream users.)

You know, in my usual role of Internet Heretic -- if I ran Google, I'd sure as Hell rank my source sites higher than others'. That's not even a "corruption of search purity" it's Owners' Perogative, like Mashable referring frequently to other (reasonable) Mashable articles, etc. I just don't see where the big deal is. Google's search results are the GoTo because they REALLY ARE that much better than the shabby, ill-clad competition, even with the tinkering we're all aware they're doing.
- Alexander Williams
Alexander, two things are really wrong with this: 1) This destroys the trust that Google has established with the rest of the web, basically saying that no industry is off limits. Google gets treated with fanboyism and kid gloves on a lot of stuff, that will destroy any goodwill for them to pursue this policy. 2) Destroying the purity of their search results degrades the quality, particularly when a lot of it is spammy in nature. This, in turn, will decrease company revenues, which will in turn .....
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
... will make Google more vulnerable to the rest of the tech community who will be gunning for their ass both in the court of public opinion as well as in a business sense. Keep in mind, Mashable (like most for profit companies) has no moral clauses in their articles of incorporation saying that they shouldn't be evil. Google intentionally held themselves to a higher standard, and are really turning a corner on failing in that regard.
