SideStripe is a social network search engine that provides answers from the only source of information that you can really trust: your friends. Your days of searching alone are gone forever. - David Berkowitz
This is an excellent service for finding ffers within other services. It isn't new but I find many aren't aware of this great webapp authored by Hao Chen http://friendfeed.com/bitfaker - tsudohnimh
I go to shop knowing what I want to get, and rarely deviate. - Logical Extremes
Me too, I don't browse for no reason. - Kol Tregaskes
Thats a great graphic, and an interesting article those scoundrels...now where did they put the milk, .nor can I find the Bacon counter.. I know I'll 'follow my nose.. - Jason
@Kol - have you ever been to Fry's electronics...... :D - SnakeDoc
Fry's has a huge impulse item wall before check out on both sides... they have a dang good selection of candy there! - Trish Haley
Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing it, Kol :) - Jemm
Wow, cell phones as locational data leaks ... sort of an anonymous web bug for large retail stores that can be used to track dwell time & location. - Andy Edmonds
I hate shopping at Fry's. Believe it or not, they generally do not have what I am looking for. What they do have, I am able to find online for less, so my Fry's trips are mostly reserved for when things are truly sideways and I have to do something, anything, now. - Robert Miller
Hmmm, no wonder I'm increasingly shopping online :) - Jason Kaneshiro
We understood that, supermarkets learn from customer experience management (CEM), but they use it for their own benefit, not for the customer's. - Uğur Özmen
"Learn to translate what people say into something useful. If someone at work says, “Jesus will help you through it,” understand that what they really mean is “I know you’re going to be okay because I believe in you.” If someone offers to pray for you, simply say “thanks” and take it as “I’ll keep you in my thoughts and I have sympathy for your situation.” Don’t hold their preachiness against them, it’s their cultural context. You can’t force other people to remove themselves from their cultural contexts. It takes an intellectual and philosophical leap that a lot of people simply can’t make." - triple t

"Fnk (pronounced fink) is an online visual programming environment that uses a dataflow approach for the analysis, processing and synthesis of image, sound and other data in real-time. It aims to be an easy and fun way to create multimedia and music presentation prototypes that interact with a number of input and output devices. It was born as an academic project, but has since then moved into a standalone one." - Jason Wehmhoener

"A path with 5 easy clicks is vastly superior to one with 3 difficult clicks. And a menu with 10 easily understood items is better than a menu with 7 obscure ones." - Dominic/IRWebReport

you should be able to make it work in opera via user javascript files, with some modifications - Joelle Nebbe
@Joelle Nebbe what are the modifications? - Sasha Kovaliov
on the font front: http://www.fontspace.com/categ... lists some. A great way to pick helvetica or some of its close clones is actually to buy old software packages. Things like the Corel suite, or the early Adobe or Macromedia full suites. I mean 1997, 1998 - they bundled far less pro quality fonts after that. Should be bargain bin/ebay stuff by now. - Joelle Nebbe
Sorry Sasha, haven't tried it, accounts day today. But check http://www.opera.com/browser/t... for hints - it might even just work that easily - else search the forums on my.opera.com - Joelle Nebbe
Attractive, but it's killing load time alas. - Andy Edmonds

If I wasn't dedicated to NewsFire, this would be enough to get me to go back to Google Reader. - Akiva Moskovitz
this is really great. i don't use google reader much due to its look and function, but this could change things drastically - Cee Bee
It's ok, but I wouldn't adopt it now. As Ian says above, it's still in alpha, so maybe wait at least until beta to download it. - Mohomed=genieyclo
Oh yes, I've certainly not made it default, but I'm interested in the concept, so I'm going to keep it on a Vista box here, and see how it progresses. It only runs on Windows in any case. - Ian May
Agreed with Alexandros. It's too complicated. - LouCypher
If it killed IE, that would be fantastic.as IE is the suckiest pile of crap masqerading as a browser that I have ever had to suffer - Ian May
@Ian not gonna happen, most non-tech people use IE and that's the majority of the world. And they haven't even gone to FF yet, so why expect them to switch to a tool that even the more advanced of us refuse to use ;) - Mohomed=genieyclo
@geniecyclo Don't spoil my fantasy! I can wishfully think out loud sometimes, can't I? :) - Ian May
"By any measure, Halo 3 is one of the most wildly-successful consumer software interfaces in recent memory: more than 1 million players played the game in its first 24 hours on Xbox Live; over 8 million copies sold to date; and “over 100,000 pieces of user generated content being uploaded daily […] 30 percent higher than YouTube on a daily basis.” It’s probably safe to say that more cumulative man-hours have already been spent in Halo gaming lobbies than in Microsoft Word! But H3 is distinguished for another reason, too. It’s one of the earliest—and definitely one of the highest-profile—mass-market video games to benefit from the contributions of a dedicated interaction designer. Colm Nelson was the interaction designer for Halo 3 and has been a working UX designer since 2000." - Jason Wehmhoener

Cool concept. Hopefully part 2 will be meatier. - Andy Edmonds
yeah, i use split browser which works amazingly...but this is just for the Chrome heads... - Zee.
Man, when is the OS X version coming out?? - Cheryl Jones
I was wondering the same f*cking thing - Stowe Boyd
I built an unpolished firefox addon to provide parallel functions (with windows) at http://surfmind.com/lab/mozill... -- original implementation was the double stack gesture in optimoz gestures '01. - Andy Edmonds
The topic of this dissertation is to propose an alternative search and discovery method for the web where meta data and therefore search algorithms are created by the users themselves. - Andy Edmonds
