Ironically, the Reddit community itself now recognizes that moderation is fundamental and essential: [...] This is as clear a call for active moderation as I’ve ever seen. And the moderators, to their credit, took charge and instituted changes to help guide their community away from the fatty junk food content:

@bensummers: RT @al3x: Completely and totally done with iCal on Lion. Paid for . It Actually Works™.

A flyer designed by the FBI and the Department of Justice to promote suspicious activity reporting in internet cafes lists basic tools used for online privacy as potential signs of terrorist activity. The document, part of a program called “Communities Against Terrorism”, lists the use of “anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address” as a sign that a person could be engaged in or supporting terrorist activity.

Religion is understood as an invention of the human imagination, a work of art through which we have found a way of talking about ourselves and our place in the universe. It is valued as poetry not science, myth not mathematics; and myth is understood to have an enduringly useful role in interpreting ourselves to ourselves.

We know this because back in college and in the year or so following, Mark Zuckerberg held lots of instant message conversations with friends and confidants about his plans for life and work. Due to a lawsuit or two, these instant messages were preserved. We have viewed some of them.

We are also going to use some of HTML5’s new input types and attributes to create more meaningful fields and use less unnecessary classes and ids:
email, for the email field
tel, for the telephone field
number, for the credit card number and security code
required, for required fields
placeholder, for the hints within some of the fields
autofocus, to put focus on the first input field when the page loads

The MPAA studios hate us. They hate us with region locks and unskippable screens and encryption and criminalization of fair use. They see us as stupid eyeballs with wallets, and they are entitled to a constant stream of our money. They despise us, and they certainly don’t respect us. Yet when we watch their movies, we support them.

Speaking at Content Strategy meetup tonight. Will be channelling Marvin the Paranoid Android in my talk of CS failures.

Winston Churchill died this day in 1965. In 1915, he wrote a letter to his wife from the grave & then went to war:

This used to be funny, but now it’s really just terrifying. We’re dealing with legislation that will completely change the face of the internet and free speech for years to come. Yet here we are, still at the mercy of underachieving Congressional know-nothings that have more in common with the slacker students sitting in the back of math class than elected representatives. The fact that some of the people charged with representing us must be dragged kicking and screaming out of their complacency on such matters is no longer endearing — it’s just pathetic and sad.

The new Google “Search Plus Your World” feature — which I’m now simply calling “Search Plus” — has just gone live for me. Huge debate erupted yesterday over whether it somehow favors Google+. I can see now that it clearly does, even more than I thought. Here’s a closer look at the changes, including how they turn Google+ into an essential social network for any search marketer.

Stanford Professor Robert Sapolsky, posits that depression is the most damaging disease that you can experience. Right now it is the number four cause of disability in the US and it is becoming more common. Sapolsky states that depression is as real of a biological disease as is diabetes.

I don’t get it. Is there a department of self-sabotage at Google that, seeing success, gets to work right away trying to erode it? That, having earned good will, attempts to destroy it?
