Computing Your Skill
It feels like Jeff Moser comes up for air every six months and drops a computer science bomb. This is one of those times. Get ready to learn (or re-learn) your stats.

Flash, Google, VP8, and the future of internet video
Comprehensive review of the state of Internet video. Required reading for anyone who believes, like me, that HTML5 is poised to overtake Flash. There are a lot of hurdles to be cleared before that happens.

Mimeo and the Kleptopus King
Old school (like Nintendo-era) iPhone game from Shaun Inman. Tentatively scheduled for holiday 2010 release. I'm not convinced touch is a superior input mechanism over the tradition directional pad plus buttons, but the game itself looks fantastic.

Word of mouth is sacred (what’s wrong with 37signals’ job post)
Nathan Bowers nails it. I hope 37signals drops the spammy tweet requirement. It's an unfortunate blemish on an otherwise exceptional company's reputation.

The iPad and the web
Jeremy Keith thinks the iPad will be the best-selling device for Christmas this year as people realize that using normal computers is actually really hard. Also, he hates Flash.

Cultivate Teams, Not Ideas
All of Jeff's excellent quotes are from people who sell products. At Full Stop, we work with clients who in turn are responsible for generating their own profits, which means we must work all the harder to not only remember ourselves that execution is all that matters but to convince each and every client to adopt that mantra.

Intel, Micron announce 25nm NAND flash production
Absolutely, 100% agree. The difference between a computer with a standard HDD and one with a blazing fast SSD is night and day. I've loudly and publicly professed my love for the bargain OCZ Vertex I picked up a few weeks back. It's that good.

A Plea for Developer Unity
Jamie Kasoy urges developers to group hug and work it out. I'm all for it, but it won't change anything. The Wheels of Progress are turning. (See my comment at the bottom. Read from the bottom up. The newest are on top. It threw me the first time.)

Ahem
It's a shame Zeldman had to clarify what should have been perfectly clear from his original post on Flash and the iPad. That said, read it. He hits every major point that made me write my original post. (Furthermore, these facts are obvious and have been for quite some time. He and I were hardly the first to say them.)

The Future of Publishing
Jack's right. "Democratization of content product is a powerful force." Let's hope the centralization of that power in Apple's hands doesn't make us regret it. (For the record, it will and it won't. There will be controversies, but there are plenty of places to read things online without resorting to the iBook store.)

Modern browsers for modern applications
And now for something not iPad related, Google is no longer supporting the decrepit browser known as Internet Explorer 6 in certain applications. It's a small step forward and long overdue. The battle against IE 6 is nearing completion.

Future Shock
Let me be the most-recent among many to second Fraser Speirs' diatribe. Computers are supposed to make your life easier not just provide you with a powerful but capricious robotic servant. While the iPad (and whatever class of computers it ushers in) will not eliminate the frustrating user interfaces, incompatibilities and general shoddiness of old, it re-lays the foundations and renews the possibilities. Eventually entropy demands the system make allowances for complexity and weeds will inevitably creep into Mr. Jobs meticulous garden of computing Eden, but the pre-iPhone OS purge has been necessary and good. The future awaits.

iPad - Inspirational Hardware
Miguel de Icaza nails the reasons the iPad ought to be a runaway success regardless (or thanks to?) its closed nature: price, multi-touch centric, standard hardware, the App store, and the new, larger form factor.

Attn Joe: Should we trust iPad?
Dave Winer distrusts Apple. It's hardly newsworthy, but his challenge is laudable. "Is it possible to create an iPad-like platform that has none of the drawbacks of Apple's offerings?" I say no. The coordination, taste, planning, and resources required have thus far proven quite beyond the open-source community's wherewithal. If Winer's white-knight exists, it can only be Google, and let no one doubt, Google has its own agenda that will eventually conflict with the philosophical purity held dearly by him and his ilk. (I wish that weren't the case, but it is.)

Hackers Don’t Tinker Because They Got Invited
Gina Tripani claims people will hack regardless of the security measures in place or the legality of such actions. I suppose they will, but these restrictions certainly put a damper on the community. Looking on the bright side, the Internet has made communication among like-minded hackers exceedingly easy.
