the language was very cheeky indeed....jedi mind tricks....who really wants 'old'? :) - marko

interesting (and dense) article. i think the following quote goes a great distance to explain the ongoing healthcare debate in the US.... "The most affluent know well that their future wealth is affected by the social rules. So they generally use their influence on the design of the social rules toward defending and expanding their advantages. The richer those in the top decile are... more... - marko

cool. the new comprehensive and defacto stream me thinks :) ...this is what always confuses me about the twitter realtime search hypemachine...google always had the infra to do it better....it was just a matter of when they cut the agreement - marko

Yes, faster is generally better than slower. Some apps benefit, most don't. I think the whole real-time discussion is pure marketing. What is real-time? .....it is like philosophically expounding on the meaning of 'time', 'now' or 'present'? - marko

I bought an Asus Eee last month. Did a quick and cheap RAM upgrade. Have been pleasantly surprised by the performance and the device overall......no issues using it as my primary computer.....and only has crashed once.....which is amazing in itself :) - marko

eurovision is a euro thing......i've become finnish in many ways but eurovision is something i'll never understand - marko

Feel good Friday - honesty is rewarded.....but why exactly did the elderly couple have that much cash in a bag in the first place :) - marko

"The critical qualifier, which Facebook buries in the middle of its announcement, is that developers "can access the stream on behalf of a user and then filter, remix and display the stream back to that user however you choose." (Bold added for emphasis.) Translation: The new applications will be able to publish data across the Web -- but the audience for that remixed data will be the original Facebook user, not the public. That distinction is important because Facebook's move to allow off-site developers to mine user information has been seen as an attempt to replicate the way Twitter's messaging system developed. Twitter, an outward-facing platform in which all user information is public by default, has nourished a wide ecosystem of third-party applications that take advantage of the high volume of public data Twitter users generate." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Yes, thanks for doing that Mark. That cleared a few things up, FB have been moving stuff around everywhere lately, wonder when it will all settle down. Ha. - Chris Loft

"the meltdown amounts to a spectacular moment of global consciousness" ....this statement nailed it......so many people are re-assessing their fundamental values, beliefs and choices (almost without realizing it).....can hear it inter-woven into almost every conversation. We are in the germination stages of some kind of global renaissance period....I'm optimistic about the future :) - marko

We were supposed to have the 90's decade as one of self restaint but, then the tech boom happened. The 3 steps will work for now but, once an industry takes off again, we'll be back at it. The bust we now experience had a boom that just wasn't shared by as many citizens yet, effects us all in some way or another. We make miniscule changes and claim them huge. We have a solid foundation... more... - Monique

And great response from Doc Rivers ......"During the game?"......"no comment"......"new Generation" :) - marko

why must they monetize onsite? - marko

I think they do not have to but on the other hand if you have that kind of volume of page views, I guess it comes pretty natural to stick advertising in there. Still I believe there is more value in off site. - Davide D'Incau

Finland = "creative madness"?.....not sure if it will stick but finland should definitely drop the insecurity and celebrate the eccentricity.....oddness is the new overly-scandanavian-siisti - marko

A great read - "common sense" never goes out of fashion :) - marko

Anyone know why carnivores like to eat hands and feet? ....its definitely not my favorite part of Dim Sum - marko

The fossil record is distinctly lacking in foot and hand bones, according to lead author Matthew Bennett of Bournemouth University, UK. "The reason is that carnivores like to eat hands and feet," Professor Bennett told BBC News. - marko
