AppleInsider | Apple looks to take multi-touch beyond the touch-screen

9 hours ago - Link

With its competitors struggling to catch up with multi-touch technology introduced last year as part of the iPhone, Apple is already conceptualizing new versions of the technology that would fuse a variety of secondary inputs with today's touch-based gestures to produce more efficient data input operations. - Todd Mundt

"nettie52 - thanks for the comment. I try to avoid discussing politics here because of my position, but your thoughts remind me of an excellent piece Jay Rosen wrote about this issue of truth and lies, suggesting what he thinks the McCain strategy might be: Strategy: Comes from Bush, the younger. When realities uncovered are directly in conflict with prior claims, consider the option of keeping the claims and breaking with reality. Done the right way, it’s a demonstration of strength. It dismays and weakens the press. And it can be great theatre. His blog post is here: http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubz......" - Todd Mundt

The story behind Google Chrome

11 hours ago - Link

GMail and Google Maps pushed the Web to its limits, taking advantage of browser technologies invented in Redmond but left dormant for far too long. Contributing to Firefox's core, writing browser extensions, and championing HTML could only take the $150 billion company so far: they needed to own the full browser to push their Web efforts forward at full speed. - Todd Mundt

She's made some points I agree with, but overall, she doesn't seem very inspiring - Ian May

I don't see it. They seem uninspired compared to other times. The rhetoric is more bland. - Dean Terry

There's nothing compelling coming out of Palin.. if anything all I'm hearing is baseless shallow attacks and cliches. - Victor Trac

You must be joking. - Jeff Jones

There will be a "bounce" but the battle has just begun... - Live4Soccer

She's playing to her base, that's all. - Tony Hung

They lost my vote tonight. Only heard attacks for 2 days and no plans. - LPH

i think you are in the minority on that conclusion - Shannon Carver via Alert Thingy

I like their plan for the economy better than Obama's promise to help me buy a new car. - Charles LePage

I guess everyone missed the DNC speeches... - Brian Newman

I'm sorry, I think Leo is right. Those speeches weren't aimed at us... The majority of FF I assume is left leaning and this type of event would not resonate with us. But to the middle and right, if it doesn't acquire new support, it would have certainly solidified and reassured some doubters in the RNC - John Worthington

4 more year of the same. Seems like its Bush/Mccain/Palin for 2009 - PC Easy via twhirl

Yep, very conservative. - Tim Davis via twhirl

Sarah Palin just gave the best speech of the entire elections season, so far. ^^ - pitlord via twhirl

She did a great job tonight. I still won't vote for McCain, but I agreed with some things she said. - Molly

And let's not forget, Obama spent 1/3 to 1/2 of his speech attacking McCain and Bush. Obama wants to practice the old politics and the new politics, however one defines them, at the same time. I'm eager to see if McCain can present himself as authentically as Palin did tonight. - Charles LePage

Palin sounded like she was running for small town Mayor not VP tonight. Nothing of substance, nothing of interest and certainly nothing new. - Jeff Jones

I haven't seen the speech. That said, I find everyone's surprise that she gave a good one pretty surprising. This is a presidential election - they have speech writers you know! - mattpovey

Palin seemed a bit out of her depth, that was the impression that came across to me - Ian May

I find 'war hero, war hero, war hero' far from inspiring...but i guess some do... - aka Taylor

That a boy Leo - you're finally recognizing the Truth... - Neil Bakker

After tonight the Obama tact of "more of Bush" is going to look even more foolish. But it seem that running against Bush has been the whole of the DNC plan for the last 8 years - Robert Hafer

The Republicans liked her speech? What a surprise. They all have smiles chiseled into their faces. Remember, these are the people who thought GW Bush would be a great president. - Rod Bauer via twhirl

are you kidding me Leo? Petty attacks, red meat for the base. Without independants they loose and tonight was all about the base - David Jacobs via twhirl

Rod.. yes, but Bush won 2 terms. What I think Leo is trying to say is this is no longer just a slam dunk for Obama... some work still needs to be done - John Worthington

the hilarious thing is how we all sway with the latest information...looking back at old feeds and tweets from after Obama's speech you'd think the Republicans should just throw in the towel. My personal opinion is that the Republicans were down 8pts and Palin *had* to make her two free throws. If she missed, it would be game over now...she made em, so now we keep playing... - George Lee via twhirl

They've gained more like 10 points in their own mirror Leo! - Roney Smith

@georgelee That's a smart way to look at this. There's a lot of time left before November, and more battles to be fought. - Todd Mundt

As someone who loved Palin's speech, the Republicans gained one point at most. No minds were changed by Palin's speech, so the only movement might have been within the undecided ranks. - Ontario Emperor

Massive Canadian Arctic ice shelf breaks away - earth - 03 September 2008 - New Scientist Environment

21 hours ago - Link

End of an era "These changes are irreversible under the present climate and indicate that the environmental conditions that have kept these ice shelves in balance for thousands of years are no longer present," he said. - Todd Mundt

The oceans of the world are a giant heat sink. The ice on various parts of the planet are a catalyst for the heat sink. Temperature rises, ice melts, falls into sea, melts further, reduces temperature of sea. At the same time, increased air temperature increases evaporation giving more cloud cover, so reducing the air temperature. Some of the natural cycles of the planet (which we do hurry along with our thermal output) are just too big to appreciate. - Slippy Lane

Surely if the ice disappears completely it will trigger a reaction, an ice age reversing the current that runs along the underside of the world? I am no scientist neither do I read up on the facts, possibilities but the planet is self sustained and will live on without us! The day after tomorrow will be realised... - Joe Dawson

+1 Joe - You mean the ACTUAL day after tomorrow, and not the film of the same name? - Slippy Lane

the earth is one big adjustment machine, no problem - Gregory Lent

Mr. Lee, 49, is a native of Hong Kong. After emigrating to Toronto, he opened Lotus in 1987. That minimal 12-table pan-Asian debut was enough to catapult him to renown and began to make the dimpled smile on his broad face and the signature black ponytail familiar in food circles beyond Canada.

The Minimalist - North African-Inspired Chickpeas - NYTimes.com

Wednesday at 4:03 pm - Link

I have proclaimed my love for chickpeas, and I’m not alone. Chickpeas — also called garbanzos, ceci and chana, among many names — are among the most widely appreciated legumes, grown on every continent except Antarctica, and cooked and served in countless ways. The recipe here is a more-or-less North African treatment, one I was taught in Córdoba, in southern Spain. - Todd Mundt

to call 43 Folders, “a site about Getting Things Done” does almost as much of a disservice to my hard work as it does to David’s. And, frankly, how ever complimentary the remark is intended to be, it’s a millstone that I’d prefer not to carry any more. Mm. There. That feels better. - Todd Mundt

Google Chrome and Gears - Unweary

Wednesday at 3:23 pm - Link

If you look at the way Chrome is designed, it's not so much designed to be a good browser, as much as it is a good operating system for web applications. Google's desire is very much the same as Microsoft's, except abstracted a little higher up the stack. They want to own the platform upon which web applications are built, just like Microsoft wants to own the platform upon which desktop applications are built. - Todd Mundt

Footsteps - M.F.K. Fisher’s Sonoma - Visiting M.F.K. Fisher’s Last House - NYTimes.com

Monday at 12:54 pm - Link

One hundred years after the birth of Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher, the author and culinary seer whose sensuous, deeply personal work defined a genre, her former cottage near Glen Ellen is a landmark visible only to those who know how to look. Though it's easy to spot from Highway 12, a road lined by vineyards, half-finished housing developments and the occasional vintage barn, nothing defines the house where Fisher died in 1992 as the lair of a literary grande dame. - Todd Mundt
