"One unpublicized feature introduced by Apple's latest iPhone software updates is the ability to save Web apps to the home screen and have them launch in full-screen mode without the Safari wrapper, essentially mimicking the experience of a native app." - Christopher Galtenberg

"The day after an episode premieres on Cartoon Network, television-phobic fans will be able to buy it on iTunes, or else wait a week and watch it for free on both Cartoon Network's website and StarWars.com. In addition, StarWars.com will also be offering a regular podcast about the show as well as a weekly Clone Wars webcomic; iTunes will also have last week's Cartoon Network 30-minute behind-the-scenes Clone Wars Preview available for free." - Daniel Schildt

maybe the new Nokia will be a worthy rival to iPhone. (no winmobile inside, afaik) - 9000
might be. but you never know unless you buy it and try to use for a few weeks - yole
Which operator and which plan do you use? IMO, iPhone should consume a lot of traffic. - Konstantin Solomatov
у меня мегафон с прямым городским, который очень не хочется менять - а для городских, насколько я понимаю, айфоновские тарифные планы не работают - yole
new Nokia has been designed with purposes different than competing with whatever AAPL does... different price range, different target customer, no intent to make huge modifications to S60 UI (so yes, it is Symbian/S60 in all it's familiarity only simplified), more appeal to _mass_ market which is not sniffing AAPL glue... - silpol
After visit to re-store, I've also bought iPhone. I'm excited by a way which you can browse web pages on its screen. I have N810 with 800x600 screen and iPhone is much more usable in this area despite quite a small screen. I overestimated amount of traffic which it consumes, It's only about 1-2mb per day with moderate usages of friendfeed, google reader, google maps. - Konstantin Solomatov
That may or may not be the phone! Still waiting to hear... - Sarah Perez
Those guys are a joke. They haven't moved for years and now it's panic! - fbrunel
From the pics I saw on Flickr, It certainly looks better than the G1, (unfortunately for T-Mo) - JungleG
Doesn't look to bad indeed.. for quiet a nice price tag, suppose it will be for free on a contract when the reseller price is a bit south of 300 euros.. - Jaap Willem
""Overcome", the new album from ALL THAT REMAINS, sold just under 29,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 16." - Christopher Galtenberg

pity you can't vote on these issues they're talking about :-/ just hope that there's a candidate that matches enough of your views. yes, votings good, but it hardly covers these issues independently :-( - immaterial
Includes some interesting quotes from Salman, like "Tell them to go fuck themselves" and "With the white guy, I know he's stupid. Whereas with the brown guy, he better be fucking brilliant." - Jess Lee

You can take the man out of Microsoft but you can't take the Microsoft out of the man. (i'm ex msft too) - peter
I really want to "like" Peter's comment. - Jess Lee
so ex-googlers, what did you think of the article? (as an ex yahoo I thought they spent too much time on the google-formed VC firm....providing the choice quotes above)....what ex-googlers (outside of FF and Polyvore) should we be on the lookout for? - Adam Kazwell
I can't believe that people are still writing articles about people leaving Google... - Kevin Scott
"Any large company, especially one that went public four years ago and is beginning to see its first generation of pre-IPO employees become fully vested..." --- This didn't make sense to me. Are they confused how vesting works? Are employees who started before 2003 not being counted as part of a generation? - Chris White
rarely do i read something that evokes such a strong feeling of the essence of salman! - Charles Hudson
There is a fine line between being realistic, sharp, challenging, even skeptical, and being an asshole. I sometimes worry that late arrivals to Google didn't get to experience the earlier culture where we pushed each other to think hard but it never got personal. - Christopher Sacca
Ah, the old "say 'fuck' a lot and act like a huge racist dick and it'll make me seem important" strategy. Funny how people can spend years at Google but not pick up an ounce of Googlyness. - Benjy Weinberger
Amen, Benjy. Goes for any company, actually. - Rob Schonberger
@sacca: I arrived sorta late (Jan '06) and definitely got to experience the good culture... and I think it still exists though by nature it's fragile. Oddly, in contrast to Peter's comment, some of the most Googly people I've worked with are ex-msft. - Moishe Lettvin
Why couldn't they find some engineers to interview? You know, doers? Instead we get to hear about the latest posturing from some MBA dudes. - Gregor J. Rothfuss
Aren't good VCs supposed to add some value to a venture besides the cash? Anyone can sign a check, after all. These guys sounds like they actually subtract value! - Benjy Weinberger
In my experience, it's rare for a VC to add any "value" other than writing a check. In fact there are some great examples of .coom startups which were ruined when the VCs took executive control and screwed up the company's direction. - Dave Saunders

This was bad PR, but I've only had good interactions with Salman. - Chris White
Salman's a great guy, and has assembled a great team over there. It's good to inject some pragmatism into the VC world every now and then. =) - darren
