Impossible! I had no idea Airplane! was based on an earlier movie. This video shows where the dialog overlaps between the two.

"Yet despite all the innovations in the iPhone 4, without basic telephony service it’s just a piece of shit." Matt Honan succinctly sums up Apple's AT&T problem. The frustrating part is that it's potentially solvable by opening things up to other carriers.

"Building a great display for typography without building great typographic tools is a dereliction of duty." I've been noticing this too especially on the iPad's potentially gorgeous display. The app-makers, including Apple, just don't seem to care. [via jessamyn]

"Most of these tweaks, besides providing for a longer lifespan for SSD disks, should improve overall system performance even on an non SSD disk."

Currently lusting after this camera. Looks like the perfect combination of size and quality.

ColdFusion code to geocode locations with Google Maps.

And Google gets in on the Twitter Archive goodness. I'm glad Tweets are becoming less ephemeral.

The Library of Congress is going to archive every tweet. It'll be interesting to see how they make the archives available.

"Slate ad critic Seth Stevenson tries out a Google service that allows you to run your own commercial on national TV for as little as $100." (Neat. But Slate 5? Did I miss 2-4? har har.)
Lazyweb Request: iPad Image Reader
I want an image/feed reader for the iPad. I love seeing a picture every day in the Guardian Eyewitness application which looks like this:
Simple, minimalist interface with a few buttons to favorite, share, and browse thumbnails in the upper-right. You swipe to go forward/back, and you tap to show and hide the caption. The high quality pictures look fantastic on the screen.
Obviously I'd like to see this for The Big Picture, but instead of hundreds of disconnected picture-viewing applications distributed by content producers, I want to be able to subscribe to any feed with images and browse them this way. I'd like to mix these pictures with Flickr feeds, Tumblr feeds, and anything else with images.
I've wanted this feature for Google Reader forever, and Google Reader Play comes close, but I can't control what shows up there. I have a folder at Google Reader called Gallery (probably nsfw) filled with image-centric blogs like Shorpy, A Journey Round My Skull, today and tomorrow and I'd love to browse them exactly this way. And while I'm dreaming, I'd like this app to integrate seamlessly with Google Reader to share, star, and mark posts as read.
Don't make me learn Objective C, Lazyweb.

Interesting metric to use. Why would page speed relate to authority?

Looking forward to these!
