@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" .. - Petr Buben

Try rolling the cat through a press first. Flat cats fit into the fax easier. - Bob Blunk

Fax, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little - Steve C

Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

They fax much better if you flatten them first. What? - Kevin Pedraja

LOL, Kevin. - Kol Tregaskes

i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Ey, it would be a tad warm on there, especially after a long working day. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

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. - Kevin Fox

No More Perks: Coffee Shops Pull the Plug on Laptop Users - http://online.wsj.com/article...

"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." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

that's why coffee shops such as Starbucks limit ppl limit ppl 2 a number of hrs of Internet access. Also if u want to use more of your computer, buy more drinks or food, that would help to pay something 4 the biz. - polou/indigo_bow

Oh, I'm all for forcing purchases to get access. There's no reason for you to be using their bandwidth if you're not paying. - Matthew DeVries

I"m always happy to drop some cash for coffee and internet access. One of my fave places would only allow you access if you paid a minimum of 5 dollars for their wares. I get a little resentful, however, of fellow customers choking bandwidth watching a movie on Hulu while I'm trying to do research.

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:

July 30 - Comment - Like - Share

Chris Chua, Penguin It's Cold Outside, Lora Heiny and 36 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

14 more comments

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... more... - Loren Heiny

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... more... - Loren Heiny

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 :-). - Loren Heiny

I'm guessing it's because I can't balance in my head all the repercussions... more... - Loren Heiny

"The Federal Communications Commission has sent letters to Apple and to AT&T and Google seeking information about the rejection of the Google Voice Application from the iTunes store. The letters ask why the application was rejected, and whether or not Apple removed other applications like it. I just downloaded copies of the letters from the FCC’s Web site, and have included links to them below." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

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. Perhaps it's the need to fill column inches, I don't know. But the answer, when it... more... - ianf ⌘

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. :-\ - ThatJimGuy

If the demo was of the data, I would have my doubts, but it's the calendar. I'm optimistic, since information is goign to be stored in the cloud as opposed to locally (like the iPhone). I can't WAIT. - Mona Nomura from IM

For me--the Calendar is a very big deal. Palm was always great at it--my biggest iPhone gripe has been the slow (local) calendar. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Did you see the accordion like motions? I like it more than uber scrolling like on the iPhone. - Mona Nomura from IM

Mona, agreed--Palm totally 'gets' calendars--and the whole PDA thing in general. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

this really shows you what's the value of running multiple apps at the same time. The home button UI on the iphone sucks for multitasking. - Davide D'Incau

Mona: when you say "since information is going to be stored in the cloud" where is it stored? At Palm? Your Google Calendar? - Benjamin Golub

Benjamin: For the Pre, it would be Palm. @Chad - That is a very good question. - Mona Nomura

While the Palm intrigues me, I'm more interested to see WebOS on a multitude of Palm devices. A Centro or Treo Pro-type device? A horizontal as opposed to portrait QWERTY? WebOS has some real potential behind it. - Mike Nayyar

Exactly, Mike - I've been saying this from day one. I am excited for Nova, not inclusive to the Pre. If you look at Palm's job search site, they have tons of hardware related engineering opportunities - http://www.palm.com/us... I can't wait to see the next form factor! - Mona Nomura from IM

They could even put WebOS on a netbook and call it Foleo 2 ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

I love the palm pre and I found a great Palm Pre porn site at http://www.ipinkvisualpass.com - Suzie Pie

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. - David Chartier

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

8 more comments

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. - LogEx

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. - Chieze Okoye
