"As the couplet finding algorithm was fairly crude, only looking for matches of the last three letters, and not the phonetic reprentation, I allowed myself to pick the best couplets as generated on the day.

Collared Events - Masters and Slaves Club Nights in London and Blackpool
"I can't tell you that fetish has no sexual dimension because to do so would be a lie. What I can tell you is that the purpose of the Collared page was to support and communicate to people with a fetish interest in a non-sexual way, much the same as countless other groups - which is more than can be said about the countless drool pages on FB dedicated to hottest guys and hottest women. Does the Review Team concern itself over whether people masturbate over these postings and images? Or does the Review Team believe people exercise a purely academic interest over Jodie Foster's thighs?"

Your users are very stupid. (Maybe.)
"11:57 AM - The first comment to put it together: “This is what happens when people use Google to enter sites instead of typing it on their address bar… Damn you all Farmville users…” This is comment number 50

Ah. So it turns out that there was a (perhaps small) present minority who, rather than using the address bar, use Google to get around on the web. Since Google put this post near the top, at least a certain number of these people had no idea the site they just entered was not Facebook. The results are this mess."

ignore the code: Realism in UI Design
"The trick is to figure out which details help users identify the UI element, and which details distract from its intended meaning. Some details help users figure out what they’re looking at and how they can interact with it; other details distract from the idea you’re trying to convey. They turn your interface element from a concept into a specific thing. Thus, if an interface element is too distinct from its real-life counterpart, it becomes too hard to recognize. On the other hand, if it is too realistic, people are unable to figure out that you’re trying to communicate an idea, and what idea that might be."

Little noted among hoopla is the fact that “The Google Wave Federation Protocol is an open extension to XMPP core [RFC3920] protocol to allow near real-time communication between two wave servers.”

Sure there's XHTML, but that did little more than make things slightly stricter - making you write better quality code if you were at all concerned with compliance. HTML5 does more than that. For one thing it adds a few new features. Not a huge amount, but the ones that it does add are very useful. "

Keeping News of David Rohde’s Kidnapping Off Wikipedia - NYTimes.com
"Times executives believed that publicity would raise Mr. Rohde’s value to his captors as a bargaining chip and reduce his chance of survival. Persuading another publication or a broadcaster not to report the kidnapping usually meant just a phone call from one editor to another, said Bill Keller, executive editor of The Times. But Wikipedia, which operates under the philosophy that anyone can be an editor, and that all information should be public, is a vastly different world. "
