Re: CAPTCHA in Rails - an experiment in anti-spam - http://www.erikjacobs.com/2009...
"Will take a look at it. Thanks for the heads up! simple_captcha just happened to be what came up first. Should be relatively easy to switch." - Erik Jacobs

Re: Reference designery, and the proliferation of Android - http://www.erikjacobs.com/2008...
"I am a big fan of the Sidekick. I have had one since the original black and white one came out, and have had almost every iteration until the Sidekick 3. Unfortunately, the Sidekick's only saving grace these days is its always-on AIM client. Everything else about it is fairly junky and I am looking forward to Android's first T-Mobile device, the HTC Dream, due shortly." - Erik Jacobs

Re: The mobile web - aging dinosaur - http://www.erikjacobs.com/2008...
"James, Excellent comments - thank you! I guess I was hung up in how "different" the Japanese i-Mode "web" was, and not sure if it still is. I think you make an excellent point about how sites are capitalizing on the features of the iPhone and the other devices that visit them. This is part of the reason why services like WURFL, a device description repository, are popular. They let the site maintainer know the makeup of the device visiting and can allow customization of the features and layout to suit. You are definitely true, the "reality" of the web is that there really only is one web. I guess the point that I was trying to bring out is that as the devices continue to evolve and become more PC-like in their power and functions that we may see less difference between what suits a normal desktop user and what suits a mobile user." - Erik Jacobs

Apparently We Are Missing The Digital Revolution - http://whydoeseverythingsuck.com/2008...
I agree with Erik M Jacobs on your blog - those products are targeting folks who don't automatically think of using the internet, or who don't have easy access to the 'net. - Brent Newhall
but are those people watching msnbc? And I suspect that Flomax is targeted to upper middle class men. I doubt there are very many people reading popular mechanics that dont have access to the internet. - Hank Williams
