ScienceDaily-Dogs Chase Efficiently, But Cats Skulk Counterintuitively
25 minutes ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"A Duke University study suggests that evolution can behave as differently as dogs and cats. While the dogs depend on an energy-efficient style of four-footed running over long distances to catch their prey, cats seem to have evolved a profoundly inefficient gait, tailor-made to creep up on a mouse or bird in slow motion. "It is usually assumed that efficiency is what matters in evolution," said Daniel Schmitt, a Duke associate professor of evolutionary anthropology. "We've found that's too simple a way of looking at evolution, because there are some animals that need to operate at high energy cost and low efficiency. Namely cats." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet
Interesting. - Matt Musgrave
Fascinating - Toby Graham
Anna, no. Now I'm watching my clothes dry. So ty for giving me cool posts to read so I don't die of boredom down here! :)) - Matt Musgrave
@Matt: Have you tried other activities? Listening to grass growing? Watching paint dry? ;) - Jemm
Jemm- I have. None as satisfying as watching the tumbling of a load of whites though :p - Matt Musgrave
prolly explains why dogs tend to be higher predators than cats (inc big cats) - alphaxion

Building Cloud Based Applications of the Future for SharePoint Online and Windows Azure - SharePoint Joel's SharePoint Land
Building Cloud Based Applications of the Future for SharePoint Online and Windows Azure - SharePoint Joel's SharePoint Land

"If building a webpart for SharePoint Online is your goal, you should look no further than the mantra no assemblies required. I did a post by that same title where I speak of assembliless internet widgets that are essentially lightweight javascript widgets which essentially pass a few variables to a secondary server. As the move to the Online space with Azure and SharePoint and Exchange online. I expect to see partners and developers trying and wrap their head around this space. So far, I haven't seen anything impressive in terms of integration and real development in the hosted space. (LiteSuite, is a noble attempt at seeing SharePoint facebook integration, the charts look nice but it's so new I haven't heard about it yet.) I'm hoping this will kick off some thinking." - Andrew Badera via Bookmarklet

right next to Larry and Sergey - Bob
Lol Bob i dont think Larry & Sergey will be sleeping like babys...the N97 seems good competition for android in my opinion - Eldon via twhirl
Eldon, there is no, and there will be no competition in near future for Android. If you want functionality, a open world of apps, there is no alternative. When you want to have a lifestyle gadget get an iPhone. Android (which is a whole platform, not a single device) is for tech guys and Google users, not for snobs. If there are some who can sleep like a baby, it's the one from Google. There will be new Android phones, when the iPhone is already history. - Ryo
@Scobleizer I have a "disagreement" in point of view, to me, S60 application development is up to Symbian not Nokia, at least that's my take on it. Nokia develops it's own software, but they're not in the same "genre" (bad word choice) as Apple... - Sociosophy Reviews via twhirl
Sociosophy: Nokia owns Symbian now and is open sourcing it too. - Robert Scoble
Holy moly! That's huge news to me... Nokia owns Symbian? I had to jump to Google News just to verify that's so awesome. Ok, yea - Nokia needs to step their friggin game up on dev now for sure then... That's... I'm excited - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl
@robert; But there are serious differences. Android is a real open system, a nice gui and infinite possibilities. The iPhone is a closed, very cool gui for snobs, running from a insane genius with a lot of disciples. And Symbian is simply a pile of shit. - Ryo
Androids short comings are the fact that the phone feels like a pile of under developed garbage. The iPhone has a large dev base, but once Adobe releases mobile Flash & god forbid AIR, that game is up. Symbian needs work, but if anyone can make an improvement, it's Nokia - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl
Aren't we all too focused on the US? Mobile phones are fast proliferating in other parts of the world where Nokia has a strong base and market share.I believe that means a strong Symbian developer base too? Thinking aloud... - kamla bhatt
Kamla: It's been that way forever too. Back in the early 2000's GSM was all the rage with 140+ countries adopting the technology, partly due to poor land line services. Nokia's been ahead of the curve (globally) for ages. - Sociosophy Reviews via twhirl
It's true Nokia has a massive footprint. But many people who have even the S60 smartphones don't even know how to install apps, and you can forget about the S40 users :-). - sixbit
sixbit: I'm assuming you've never used the Nokia Application Installer via PC Suite or Ovi? It's mindless and fast. Also, apps can be installed from the phone-based browser. - Sociosophy Reviews

“How many new Twitter followers do you get a day?”
12 hours ago - Link
I'm averaging about 5 now! But a lot unfollow me a few days later as they are just spam-type Twitters. - Kol Tregaskes
Real people or spam? - Outsanity
Both. :-) I'd say 75% of mine is spam. - Kol Tregaskes
Probably 5-20 a day, and now most of them are actually people who I often follow back thanks to Mr. Tweet leading people to me. Don't know his method, but it seems to work pretty well, I get a great cross-section of marketing folks, writers, gamers, and general geeks, exactly who I like to connect with for both work and play. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Neal, I'm waiting for my first results from My Tweet to come in, so it's good then? - Kol Tregaskes
