  3. A Note to Web Publishers

    Dear Web Publishers,

    When visiting your site, the amount of time I spend waiting for your shitty Share This! Tweet This! Buzz This! Facebook This! buttons in relation to the overall time spent waiting for an article to load is the likelihood of me never visiting your site again.

    No love,

    Nik

  4. ➶ Repost: Pet Personal Projects for Fun and Profit

    Just a quick repost, what with the SXSW Panel Picker closing this week. If you’d like to see Elliot Jay Stocks, Sam Brown, Andy McMillan and myself’s panel proposal for next year’s SXSW Interactive Festival become a reality, we’d appreciate you heading over to the Panel Picker and giving it a thumbs up.

  5. ➶ The Box

    A superb new podcast from Mr Tim Van Damme:

    The Box is a series of short interviews with people who make cool stuff.

  6. Samsung’s Suspiciously-Similar Android Tablet

    Samsung’s just posted a teaser for their 7” iPad competitor: the Galaxy Tab that launches on September 2nd. There’s plenty of photos going around today - Matt Gemmell has a run down of the gratuitously-borrowed-from-the-iPad UI - but Slash Gear posts a number of photos of the rumoured device. One of which includes a photo of a USB cable that looks suspiciously-similar to an Apple 30-pin dock connector and cable.

    Cupertino envy much, Samsung?

  8. ➶ Motorola's Android 2.2 Rollout

    PCWorld explains the staggered launch of Android 2.2 Froyo - a train-wreck of ‘soon’ and ‘maybe’. Compare that with the single (global) launch day of iOS 4.01.


    1. Sure, iOS isn’t on all devices yet (hello iPad), but it’s not held up by each carrier rushing their delightful customisations out the door with the release. 

  9. ➶ Elements for iPhone

    Congratulations to Justin Williams on shipping Elements - a handy Dropbox-syncing writing tool for iPhone and iPad. I’ve been testing the app for a while, and found it to be really awesome at jotting down notes for potential blog posts. It’s a $4.99 universal app for iPhone and iPad.

  10. A Twitter OAuth Mockup with granular control from Ben Ward. Oh how I long for other services to offer users granular control on what an application can access via the API. For those of you unfamiliar with a service that offers it, have a look at FireEagle.
