How far he's fallen.

I don't know why Microsoft missed mobile so badly after an early (if wince-inducing) lead. Fear of cannibalization, I guess.

I shouldn't like this, but I do.

Takedown requests are scary.

Good overview of code signing and why it's a good balance.

Great conclusion to the series, with a call to action.

This is fiction, right?

I don't feel the squeeze like some our age, but I know plenty of people who are having difficulty.

Creepy, but makes sense from a retailer's perspective.

More iOSification!

It's the economy, stupid.

Gruber's thoughts on the Isaacson bio.

We need a new way forward on web standards. I love standards compliance, but it's only useful if the standards don't lag far behind reality.

It looks fake, but that's how crazy the solar activity was a few weeks ago.

Amusingly tragic. I like the salutes.

Seems like overkill, but a good way to detect outside cheating.

Moore is proud of his influence on the Anonymous movement, direct and indirect (via the film, I suppose).

Han shot first.

A state rep in favor of a gas tax to fund the T.

Highlight of the debate on Washington state's marriage equality bill. The only thing I disagree with is the "civility" of the debate. Some vile things were said by the opposition, and no one called them on it.
