Apple doesn't care about the environment.

All this...for this. - Josh via mail2ff
That's a pretty inflammatory subject given how much Apple has done around their packaging the past few years. Yeah, that service replacement box is crazy big but I don't think it represents their overall values. - David Recordon
I dunno David, they're probably shipping a few million of these. It adds up. A padded envelope likely would have done the trick. - Josh

I have one of these and while it isn't something that I use that much right now, it is the best physical token I've seen for this sort of thing. Easily fits on my keys and is a cool experience in terms of its physical interaction.

Comment on: Is Yahoo Planning Its Own Live ID?
September 12 at 5:16 pm - via FriendFeed MT Plugin - Link
Hey Frederic, I think you're missing out on some of the work that has been happening in the OpenID community around being able to use an email address style identifier as an OpenID. Brad Fitzpatrick posted a proposal (http://brad.livejournal.com/23...) in February, David Feulling built on it a few days later (http://www.sappenin.com/openid...), and Vidoop is leading a project dubbed Email Address to URL Translation (http://eaut.org/). None of this is widely adopted, but if Yahoo! were to do what you're proposing they could still base it on OpenID. - David Recordon via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Comment on: Portable Contacts API Starts to Get Real
September 11 at 10:27 pm - via FriendFeed MT Plugin - Link
Andy, I think that's a good question which goes to show how we're not yet doing a good job of explaining how these various technologies do different things yet fit together and complement each other. The Portable Contacts API has become aligned with the OpenSocial REST API so that an OpenSocial Container happens to also be implementing a piece of Portable Contacts. OpenID allows someone to login to a site without creating a new account, but rather using one they already have and XRDS-Simple then provides a service discovery mechanism from your OpenID URL. You're thus able to start creating an experience where a user shows up at your site, logs in with their OpenID, you discover via XRDS-Simple where their address book is, and request to access it via a combination of OAuth and the Portable Contacts API. Lots of buzzwords, but overtime a really compelling user experience! - David Recordon via FriendFeed MT Plugin
I think one of the bigger challenges here is OpenID adoption. What happens if people continue to use traditional forms of identity. Would the user experience remain compelling? I've had a real tough time getting people to adopt OpenID and some of the concerns/arguments against it have some merit - Deepak

Movable Type to Catch up with WordPress on Sandbox
September 9 at 8:08 pm - Link
Thanks for the post, we certainly agree that this is a great thing for designers and developers though also for bloggers. Not only will they be able to create designs for Sandbox and have them work without changes between WordPress.org and Movable Type, but this means that bloggers can also more easily move between platforms and not lose a design that they really like. Beau's post with more of the back-story on why he (a designer and frontend engineer) thought this would be a really cool thing is up at http://www.movabletype.org/200.... - David Recordon

Words They Used - 2008 Political Conventions - Interactive Graphic - NYTimes.com
September 7 at 12:42 am - via Mento - Link
"The words that speakers used at the two political conventions show the themes that the parties have highlighted. Republican speakers have talked about reform and character far more frequently than the Democrats. And Republicans were more likely to talk about businesses and taxes, while Democrats were more likely to mention jobs or the economy." - Chris Messina via Mento
When you talk about God more than you talk about taxes, energy, healthcare and the economy, that's just scary. Should we worry about separation of Church and State? - Ro (Lilyhill)

“How does Wordpress know the 6.5billion figure for WP installs? Is WordPress phoning home or am I missing something less evil than this in my mild state of flight induced delirium? :-)”
August 18 at 10:04 am - Link
Downloads!? - Roberto Bonini
19 more comments
no, it's a monthly page view figure. 6.5 billion downloads would be interesting though :-) - Duncan Riley
Downloads dont (or shouldn't) count. How many people downloaded it multiple times? What about downloading upgrades? Are those counted as separate "installs"? - Andru Edwards
there was something about mozilla monitoring it or something - Allen Stern
And no, it's not billions. Millions could be more accurate. ;) - Daniel Schildt
duncan has mcdonalds hamburgers on the brain - Allen Stern
May have something to do about "<meta name="generator" content="WordPress" /> <!-- leave this for stats -->" - AJ Batac ♘
In (most) wordpress themes there is a special comment tag that makes it onto the web. It makes it easy to crawl around and find wordpress blogs. It's: <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.5.1" /> <!-- leave this for stats --> - Sparky
Daniel, Wordpress.org installs, not Wordpress.com http://news.cnet.com/8301-1350... definitely saying billions. I don't disbelieve the figure if you consider how popular WP is as a self hosted blogging platform, I'm just interested as to HOW they know. [insert automattic is evil music here] - Duncan Riley
Allen, I promised myself no hamburgers this trip...well presuming there's no in and out in seattle :-) - Duncan Riley
akismet registratino? - anna awesomesauce
also, the dashboard of the admin screen is an RSS feed, so perhaps they know how many dashboards are accessed - anna awesomesauce
Nah, that's lunacy... That would be an average of like 10 blogs (all WP) per person on the internet... Not likely - Jason Carreira
anna, possible. But it would still have to tally page views some how as opposed to posts + comments - Duncan Riley
Jason, why? CNN runs Wordpress, TechCrunch, Mashable, RWW...there's 50-100 million before you even get warmed up - Duncan Riley
Well, the WP tream give out monthly pageviews on non-WP hosted WP blogs. So they presumably phone home somehow. I agree that downloads are a bad metric to use. July had 567,059,283 page views on self hosted WP blogs: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2... . - Roberto Bonini
@Duncan, how is that possibly 50-100 million WP installs for those organizations? How many servers do you think those sites have? Not that many, and even if they did, 65 million installs would be 1% of the 6.5 billion number... - Jason Carreira
I think you two aren't thinking about the same stat. Duncan care to rephrase your question with the 'page views' in it? - David Knight
somebody take duncan to dick's drive-ins in seattle - Gregory Lent
Wordpress offers a stats plugin that lets self-hosted users use their centralized statistics application. That would be one way to get info from self hosted blogs. Wordpress.com hosted blogs account for about 800M page/views a month. ~2.2B come from a few very large sites. They have to be getting the other 3.5B from somewhere. - Erik S
when you setup wordpress you need to register a username- despite having one already. So they can tell if it's installed vs. downloaded. - anna awesomesauce
IIRC WordPress.org version 2.3 added update checking when you login to your admin center. This sends information about the version of WordPress you're running, which plugins you have installed, which plugins you've activated, information about your PHP environment, and I'd assume your blog URL.

"Statistics can tend to give you a limited perspective of what’s under the cover. For example, I suspect that the average typepad blog post has a higher rank than the average WordPress post." -Kevin Burton - DeWitt Clinton via Bookmarklet
I'm also curious as to how they got these stats as a lot of TypePad bloggers don't use their .typepad.com domain and rather one that they own instead. - David Recordon
I think Kevin is looking for common signatures among the engine that serves the pages. I'm not sure how foolproof that is, but that must be the case if he's tracking Wordpress and MT installs. - DeWitt Clinton

Thanks for mentioning the Open Web Foundation especially as I think it can be complementary to the policy work the Data Portability Working Group is wanting to do.
