Hate it. - Sweyn via twhirl
I'm so confused. That's what my GR has been looking like at least since last month. The last time I visited before that, was probably in July, so memory and all that, but I thought it always looked like this. Am I missing something? - Anika Malone
it's looked like the first image or the 2nd Anika? - Zee.
The first,because I didn't notice a second image. Now, I see the difference. It's not that bad. The blue on the sidebar, is ugly anyway. Reminds me of Yahoo! circa '94. - Anika Malone
@Anika @Zee you gotta see the second image (with the little arrow) -- that's the new one - Jorge Escobar
lol... - Zee.
Personally a big fan of the new look, much cleaner and professional - Matt Harwood

ScienceDaily-Dogs Chase Efficiently, But Cats Skulk Counterintuitively
26 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

“Friendfeed isn't importing my blog's feed. I deleted it and then tried to re-import it to test out this new MediaRSS plug-in. I don't know if it has to do with the plug-in or not. I deactivated the plug-in but still couldn't get anything.”

Mine did that after I activated the plugin as well. I had to completely delete the plugin to get the feed back. - Amber aka SDA
I'm thinking you have to do some PHP coding to get it to properly work and I don't have experience with PHP. - Mathew Ballard
I deleted the plug-in but still nothing. Maybe I need to wait a bit. - Mathew Ballard
So I waited minute and re-entered the feed on FF and it works. I wonder if it had anything to do with the plug-in? - Mathew Ballard
Probably, I didn't feel like investigating the PHP to find out what it was. - Amber aka SDA
I'm testing it again. This time I doing it without deleting the feed here in FF. I deleted it before cause I wanted everything to have the images. - Mathew Ballard
Well, it imports but no image for the second one like it should have. That means you have to edit the PHP to get it working right I believe. - Mathew Ballard
Did you try the edited version that was floating around here or the standard version? I had the one that was edited on FF - Amber aka SDA
No, the version I got came straight from Wordpress. - Mathew Ballard
Try chegking out the links from this FF post. http://friendfeed.com/e/87510a.... If you can get it to work, the code is enhanced for FF. - Amber aka SDA

"You can now initiate payments via twitter. For example, tweeting "p @ev $1 because twitter is fun" would send $1 from your Tipjoy account to @ev." - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet
So, how discrete is it? Everytime I send money, the whole world sees it, or works like d? - Nikos Anagnostou
Easier way! Wish it be an alternative to service like paypal. - K.D.

An interesting look at the evolution of athletic skills, and the original post he links to has an interesting discussion of how the rules could be changed to make PATs less automatic. - Scott from Canada 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
