This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

There's a Kevin Fox in Chicago that was famously arrested for killing his 4 year old daughter. Detectives coerced a confession from him in a heavy-handed bargaining ploy and he was jailed for 10 months before the FBI finally ran the DNA evidence that cleared him. He won a $10m suit against the lead detective, who also happened to be running for District Attorney when the crime hit the news.

Steven Perez, Playing Well with Others, Alex Schleber and 3 other people liked this
"As idle workers fill coffee-shop tables -- nursing a single cup, if that, and surfing the Web for hours -- and as shop owners struggle to stay in business, a decade-old love affair between coffee shops and laptop-wielding customers is fading. In some places, customers just get cold looks, but in a growing number of small coffee shops, firm restrictions on laptop use have been imposed and electric outlets have been locked. The laptop backlash may predate the recession, but the recession clearly has accelerated it."

Post surgery and with 20-20 hindsight, I'm finding it fascinating to think back over the last many months and look for the clues that I actually had a tumor in my brain (left frontal lobe). Here are some of them:
Chris Chua, Penguin, Lora Heiny and 34 other people liked this
1. The first thing I noticed was at times I'd use the wrong word for something--in particular nouns. For instance, I'd call a "hat" a "helmet" or the trunk of a car the "back yard." This didn't happen all the time. We figured it was an odd permutation of chemo brain.
- Loren Heiny
2. Short term memory wasn't up to par. Again, this is a common chemo brain problem. If you gave me more than three numbers--like for a phone number--forget it, I'd probably not be able to repeat them. I also had lots of trouble remembering to do things. My iPhone started becoming essential to me. I took pictures, wrote notes, used the calender, set up alarms to remind me of things. This came and went in terms of how significant it was.
- Loren Heiny
3. Concentration was getting shorter and shorter. Some said I was getting older, some said it was courtesy of medications and chemo. As a developer, this was probably the most frustrating issue to me. By the time of surgery, my ability to focus on doing something was probably down to 5 minutes. It was a rapid drop off though. Before that it was just something I noticed as being different than it was.
- Loren Heiny
4. About two weeks before the tumor was discovered, I was really having a lot of trouble answering questions. If someone asked me, "What did you do today?" I could start answering, then it's like I could hear myself in my head mention what I should say next--often just a bunch of filler words that didn't say anything, and then poof whatever I was going to say wouldn't come out. As a result, my answer became more and more "I don't know" or "I can't remember." This is when we knew it was time to call the Drs.
- Loren Heiny
5. I'd picked up an occassional limp (maybe 1 or 2 times a week in the afternoons) in my right leg that came and went. I thought it was a result of my surgery on my right leg--it's quite uncomfortable though getting better. I had a limp early after my right leg was operated on so the return of the limp I figured was just part of the ups and downs of recovering. The limp started a couple weeks before surgery.
- Loren Heiny
6. Occassional headaches. Again these appeared about a week or week and a half before I actually got into see the doctor. They were one of the last new symptoms. They were mild headaches that maybe started in the morning or late afternoon and lasted maybe an hour or so though two days before I got into see the doctor it lasted all day and the next two days there was no headache at all.
- Loren Heiny
7. When I'd wake up in the morning my right ear would feel like it was under pressure--you know that allergy kind of feeling. That's what I thought it was. It wasn't. It was the tumor pushing my brain against my ear.
- Loren Heiny
Anyway, there were some other symptoms, but back to the language issue for a second. Just to illustrate its affects. On the day the medical staff realized I needed an MRI they asked me what was going on, they wanted to know everything I could think of. I gave them first one of my stock answers at the time, which I find curious now because today I never would use it, since it really...

Let's say in my head I'd plan to make three points about something. I'd start talking and all might be fine for the first couple of points and then I'd realize I have no idea what else I was supposed to...

It's much, much better than it was before. I realize now how much better I am, for instance, just by what words I use to describe what happened. Now I can use precise words, before I used general words like "confused." However, when I'm really tired or if I stress myself by trying to do/or react to something real fast, a wrong word might pop out or I might stutter a bit, but other than that it's like night and day. It's simply amazing. It's like my brain is ten years younger :-).

I am also realizing now that I don't do well with filling out forms, no matter how simple they are--especially if it's something that's important and not routine. I think it has to do with the "planning" involved. Not sure. I've had this problem for the last year or so, but now I'm realizing it's still with me. I'm guessing it's because I can't balance in my head all the repercussions...

Tom Yager of InfoWorld is good at asking straightforward questions such as this "why did Palm want to keep the SDK out of power users' and developers' hands when the WebOS platform was all about the ease with which new apps could be created in JavaScript?" – but less forthcoming with direct answers.

That's pretty much nonsense... So what if the Pre allows command line access to developers... Android allows customisation of all parts of the phone by end-users and application developers, all the way to replacing the dialer. Also to claim "most open mobile platform" for a one-vendor platform is absurd. He is right though that most of what Palm is doing with the Mojo framework could be achieved in open, standards-based HTML5 instead which would allow application developers to reach most mobile platforms.
- Janek Mann
It can be open as it wants but If it does not have user acceptance and developer acceptance what does it all matter? Look at the I Phone you can not even multitask with it but it rains supreme. User acceptance is number 1.
- Rob Cairns
Rob - not will all the iPhone users pissed off at AT&T now, and Palm is going all-out on advertising... now if the manufacturers and carriers could quit sleeping with each other, maybe when cool new phones and gadgets come out, more people would buy them based on the product itself, not having to worry about coverage for a certain carrier and of course, switching carriers. :-\

I'm a fan of both the Pre and iPhone, but note that part of the Pre's performance comes from the significantly faster CPU and more system RAM. They're the same specs the new iPhone runs, so they can both be quite snappy. That said, AnandTech did some real benchmarks and the Pre needs some optimization. The iPhone outclasses a bit in web surfing, but a LOT when it comes to app startup times.

10 HTML Tag Crimes You Really Shouldn’t Commit - http://line25.com/article...
|
Daniel Rowley, Stephanie M. Cockerl, Aaron M. Clay and 26 other people liked this
I partially disagree with #6: Using <s> and <strike> is wrong because they're deprecated but <del> and <ins> aren't always appropriate - e.g. sale prices in shopping baskets, because they don't show an editorial insertion/deletion. You should really be using text-decoration:line-through for those scenarios. [Edit: The problem being that if you remove all styles, you'd then have two prices and wouldn't know which was the current price, so perhaps <del> would be more appropriate... I'm almost convinced!]
- Tony Ruscoe
I also partially disagree with #7: HTML can still be semantic with inline styles. There's no real difference between the STYLE element and the STYLE attribute; they both need to be in the HTML somewhere. Just because one is at the top of the document in the HEAD element and one is in the H2 element, it should make no difference.
- Tony Ruscoe
#7, not really. If the element is unique and style only applies to it, assigning an inline style is a performance saver compared to css styling.
- Burcu Dogan
CSS is great for style-rich documents, but the added complexity shouldn't be deemed necessary for a simple document with a simple presentation. It's not always desirable to fully separate content from presentation.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Yeah, but I think that this article is more in terms of general good practice when designing full websites. In that case, it's desirable to separate your structure and presentation fully, so that you keep your code/markup clean.
- Chieze Okoye
I hate inline styles. even for a simple html document, I separate the CSS; usually in the head of the page. I find it cleaner and easier to manage.
- jbrotherlove
Tony: you shouldn't be using <style> at all. <link rel="stylesheet"> is the more appropriate way to declare attached style sheets. The goal of separating all style information and not using inline styles is to allow the document to be styled in different ways without having to change the original markup. If you have to change the original markup, you're not really doing anyone any favors.
- Mark Trapp
Mark, that's a very good point! :-) My apologies.
- Tony Ruscoe
The only time I'd see it being appropriate to use inline styling is when the user agent does not support document relationships, and the document needs to be styled. Email's the only use case I can think of, but there are probably others, like MySpace profiles and junk.
- Mark Trapp
Mark, well said. That's exactly right.

"The Pre feels really good in your hand in terms of size and shape, but there’s a real plasticky aura about it. Additionally, things aren’t looking good for that QWERTY either. And hey, you know we take them keyboards seriously! When you try and type on the top row of keys, your finger hits the bottom part of the front piece and on top of that, you often hit multiple keys at the same time while typing. It’s actually really frustrating and doesn’t bode well for such a fantastic social communication/personal/business tool."

I was really looking forward to the Pre, I'm a big fan of Palm, but I'm disappointed with what I've seen and heard so far. Sure I haven't seen one in the flesh, but it doesn't look good in the pictures. I think the OS is going to be very good, they just have to get it into a decent phone. With a decent keyboard. Judgement deferred until I can handle one, but I'm not sure I want a slider phone anyway. There is something not quite grown up about that configuration.

I'd promise to give Palm another try (after my Lifedrive, R.I.P. March of this year) if they came out with a webOS equivalent of a non-cell 'Touch. Which they won't. So I won't either.

Is Sprint planning on charging an extra $50/month for the Pre data plan? (compared to a treo 755p plan)
- Jon Winters
Sprint's Everything Data plan is required for the Pre, the highest in this tier is unlimited voice and data, text messaging, navigation services, sprint TV, Nascar, etc for $99 a month and the cheapest at $69 is everything data paired with 450 minutes talk time (evenings starting at 7PM and weekends free on Sprint).
- JCunwired
I truly hope they have mended their ways, because, on past performance, I simply can not trust Palm to deliver a full-debugged, working, dependable unit. Maybe they could where the smallest of their PDAs were concerned, but my LifeDrive was full of irritating small "imperfections" (to say the least, also required sending back for repairs TWICE IN A ROW a week after initial deployment - there went 2 months of warranty). So I'm not holding my breath in regard to the Pré.
- ianf ⌘
No one has really topped the iPhone yet...
- Calvin Ayre
The latest move in the cellphone industry, seems to ape the iPhone as much as possible, and undersell it on price. I've seen tv spots for various models by LG, others, that look and act like they were iPhone, even though they lack multitouch and/or gestures. It's a credit to Palm that Pré attempts to tout its own UI-horn.

I'm a long time fan of QS, but -for the sake of infosharing- you can do quick unit conversions using the Google Quick Search Box as well. Simply double-tap the command key and when the search box comes up type, for instance: 100 miles into km. - The first choice offered should be "Search Google..." - Hit that, and Google will do the unit conversion in your browser.

I used QS for a long time and love it but found it ate a lot of resources on my old powerbook so I stopped using it. I tried Butler and although very different metaphor it did everything QS did but again found the same thing with resources.
