I don’t think Osama bin Laden sent those planes to attack us because he hated our freedom. I think he did it because of our support for Israel, our ties with the Saudi family and our military bases in Saudi Arabia. You know why I think that? Because that’s what he fucking said! Are we a nation of 6-year-olds? Answer: yes.

Cow Clicker is a Facebook game about Facebook games. It’s partly a satire, and partly a playable theory of today’s social games, and partly an earnest example of that genre. You get a cow. You can click on it. In six hours, you can click it again. Clicking earns you clicks. You can buy custom “premium” cows through micropayments (the Cow Clicker currency is called “mooney”), and you can buy your way out of the time delay by spending it. You can publish feed stories about clicking your cow, and you can click friends’ cow clicks in their feed stories. Cow Clicker is Facebook games distilled to their essence. Click on for the how and why. Great read.

12. I’ve thrown out almost everything. My media cabinet is finally in order, with a modem, AirPort, Mac Mini, Xbox, and a few remotes. My closet now contains about 20 AA t-shirts, socks, boxer briefs, 12 collared shirts, 4 Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans, 3 suits, a tie rack, some bags, and some shoes. I have 9 books on my shelf, 3 cameras, and a small box of miscellanea. I live with a chef, so I have no idea what the fuck is in my kitchen — except for my Ove Glove. Having stuff blows. Liquidity is the new luxury!

David Karp, Life Improvements

Some of these are truly odd, but bizarrely on target. I feel deep resonance with the ‘liquidity is the new luxury,’ although I think he meant (or at least I mean) ‘austere is the new luxurious’.

In all things, balance. Taken to it’s logical conclusion David, Sam and Mike would have us all living as Hare Krishnas.

Recently I noted the long neglected pair of inline skates in my closet and lamented at how I missed skating. Some inspired Googling and a few days later I’m at Wednesday Night Skate having a blast and meeting new friends. Had I liquidated those I wouldn’t be doing something I love again.

Firefox Home is Important

mikehudack:

dankantor:

A few days ago Mozilla announced that they submitted Firefox Home to the App Store. Firefox Home is a web browser for the iPhone. This would have been huge news had it been the first third party browser submitted to the App Store. But Opera stole that thunder a few months ago when they submitted (and got accepted) the Opera Mini Browser.

I think this move may be more important than the Opera one though. Firefox Home is embedding Safari into their app the same way Tweetie, Tumblr and many other apps do. What makes this different from Opera Mini is that instead of building an entire browser (rendering engine + UI + features) they are using Safari’s rendering engine (Webkit) and are just building their own UI and features on top. A large point worth repeating is this - Mozilla is using Webkit.

For a few years now, many developers have been arguing that Microsoft and Mozilla should throw out their rendering engines (Trident and Gecko) and go with the open source Webkit. That argument has grown louder as Webkit has gained more momentum in the mobile space and in Chrome. If all the browsers used Webkit, it would make the lives of every web developer a lot easier. They would no longer have to make tiny changes in their code to support all 3 browser engines. Users are not choosing browsers based on rendering engines anyway. They are choosing them based on the UI and features surrounding those engines (extensions, themes, etc).

Firefox Home is the first time Mozilla or Microsoft has shipped a product based on Webkit. Sure, Mozilla’s hand was somewhat forced here, but if they truly wanted to ship it with Gecko they could have (as Opera has proven). They decided to instead spend their energy making the features surrounding Webkit better. For that reason, I think this move was more significant than most people realize. Whether it carries over to the desktop, we’ll just have to wait and see. My guess is that if Firefox 4 continues to lose users to Chrome, they may just make that move. As far as Microsoft, I wouldn’t hold my breath. They seem a little too full of pride to make the switch.

If everyone settled on WebKit it’d be a great short term gain, but terrible in the long term. Everyone wanted to settle on Gecko years ago and then Konqueror went the other way eventually spawning WebKit. Look at the competition between Javascript engines now, we’re seeing giant jumps in performance with every release. Better to have a few renderers in the works keeping each other honest.
