I see two points to this: 1) It's a battle about what 'Climategate' meant. 2) The muddiness of the whole debate is a demonstration of the difficulty of applying science to public p…

There's an emotional connection that many geeks have to Yahoo: I know I'd still like to like it. If they made something that made us all go "Aaaaw....", we'd recommend the hell out…

I suspect that a) the vast majority of womenfolk simply don't exist - that some are outliers doesn't mean that the majority are alike, because give it what you like, b) social cond…

Thanks, that was interesting. Not least the comments, including one from "Too Smart", which said: "Being dumb is much better than having to play dumb. It does no good for a girl to…

I've done a little bit of fasting (I'm actually breaking a fast right now), it really is as simple as that: you simply start seeing whatever it is as not important. Sliverstorm, be…

I suspect he's kind of like Steve Jobs, if Steve Jobs had not been practising Zen-Buddhism. Instead he's learning how to follow through more directly by helping others do it. He's …

This too -- I can identify precisely with this second paragraph. I can't be content with filling some kind of mould. But that's because I can see the mould, and it certainly isn't …

Sounds to me like you are in contact with your 'being'. That's rather good actually. The way I've come to think of it, when people get too anxious they start to make violence on th…

My sympathies, I was there, too. The key to me was finding what I was really passionate about and doing it. Detaching from outcome.

Yep, and differently from tv, consumption on the iPad is much more likely to be 'relatively' peer-to-peer. If we pay for content, there will surely soon be more producers around, g…

I wonder if production is not more inherent to the human being than you give it credit for being. How, otherwise, did we get from TV-land to the internet? Was it not a case of frus…

Great point! Illustrates just how we're still living with the implications of just how the first extremely undemocratic reality of 'code as content' – first encapsulated in program…

Interesting perspective. I wonder how likely those for whom iPads are the only computing device today are to ever think of using the 'production tools' specific to the PC though. O…

Yeah! What's easily missed too is that the 'free creativity and production for all' ethos on the web – all the good stuff that got us here! - so far largely missed out on financing…

Awesome take – it seems to suggest that what we're seeing is the creation of a new mobile nexus for people's work, slowly replacing the desktop as the center of our 'tool lives'. E…

There's also always Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance by Robert Pirsig, which at least i still find quite amazing. I also totally agree on the thing with working with your …

What gets me, everytime I procastrinate along lines similar to those described in the article, is that the implicit assumption is always then that you're not very talented. You can…

yes you still can, it's just another option

Having seen your landing page and the video, this about the app: - I liked the simplicity and the concept of the app a lot. - Does the msging in any way interact with sending SMSs/…

Speaking off-the-hook as a normal nerd, I like this angle. There's actually plenty of Google stuff I might be interested in, but their size and my privacy concerns, partly about Go…

I agree with this, and think RIM sort of 'won' the smartphone throne without understanding good enough why. One can see that they don't understand themselves by what appears to me …
