The only problem with Times for iPad?

Editing — remembering which button to press to do what — is kind of a UI clusterfck. You’ll need “Settings”, Gear, X, and Plus to get everything they way you want because you can’t simply drag or nudge a feed around as a block (even though nudging is exactly how you reorder categories).

Also note that the options for priority aren’t ordered in the way they actually affect the columns; High is at the bottom, but the makes the feed float to the top.

But once you get it set up, it’s beautiful.

Scott Pilgrim review in The Guardian

Scott Pilgrim review in The Guardian:

This is what we mean by “generation gap”:

Games work because the player controls the action. No film can deliver this effect. As a spectator sport, splattering deadly exes doesn’t cut it: this pursuit demands participation.

Huh. You don’t say.

A nice, straight-forward infographic about lotteries from the Mint blog; In case you forgot, lotteries are all about supplementing state income, and they do a great job of it.

Can you call an iOS game trailer beautiful? Because this one is.

dwineman:

What if that simple, inexpensive [AppleTV] controller is something like an iPhone without the screen?

Then you would have made a device for a 10 ft. UI that is all touch but no direct manipulation, still hasn’t solved the text-entry problem, and would be *completely* foreign to the millions of people who know how to control televisions with remote controls.

Stop reading usernames

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:16:53 -0400

Stick this in your Safari (or whatever):

body.timeline .status-content .screen-name { display: none !important }
body.timeline .status-content:hover .screen-name { display: inline !important }

Now enjoy less scanning and more actual reading in your timeline.

Told you I’d do it. Got through the chorus, anyway.

I’m trying to get out of Times Square through these foreign tourists /
I’m like, F You /
They’re walking 6 people wide because they think they’re the world /
And I’m like F You and F her too /
I said “If I was wasn’t workin’, I’d be back home in Brooklyn” /
Haw, ain’t that some shit (Ain’t that some shit) /
But our economy’s dreary, so I’ll welcome you here /
With a F You, Ooo Ooo Oo

mrgan:

By now, everyone knows that marble sculptures of ancient Greece weren’t actually bone-white, right? They were painted because guess what, everyone loves color. So I hope you don’t freak out if I say that I’m kind of getting into the look of these re-colored pieces. I still appreciate the ascetic white look, but, y’know… color!

I’m loving these as well.

Someone once said “shaving is not about beard removal. It is about beard reduction.”
Or, as I like to say, “the only person that can give you a perfect shave is a Photoshop artist.”

Sarah Palin's Homer Moment - D'oh!

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 11:06:18 -0400

Kathleen: You swore on your precious Bible that you would uphold the interests of this state, and then when cash was waved in front of your face, you quit.

Palin: OH, you WANTED me to be your governor! I’m honored! Thank you!

Kathleen: I wanted you to honor your responsibilities. That is what I wanted. I wanted you to be part of the political process instead of becoming a celebrity so that you could (inaudible). And if that’s the best you could do, then good for you. If that’s the best you could do.

Palin: Here’s the deal. Here’s the deal. (inaudible) That’s what I’m out there fightin’ for Americans to be able to have a Constitution protected so that we can have free speech…And ALSO there…

Kathleen: In what way are you fighting for that?

Palin: Oh my goodness!

Remember my complaints about Hulu Plus? This is their solution for the queue problems at the moment.

Not really a solution, is it?

The most egregious part is the one series at top that has all shows available on the web, but only a portion available on TV or mobile — the exact opposite of the sales pitch that people remember: a short-list of episodes on web without Plus, full episodes on web and devices with Plus.

'PSP can't handle Super Street Fighter IV' - Capcom - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

'PSP can't handle Super Street Fighter IV' - Capcom - ComputerAndVideoGames.com:

Super Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono has revealed why Capcom chose to bring Super Street Fighter IV to the 3DS instead of the current PSP and DS.

In an interview with Famitsu, Ono said that although Capcom looked at the PSP and DS, the current generation portables couldn’t do justice to the title.

Yep. Just like it couldn’t do Soul Calibur 4 or Tekken 6 justice.

But it’s just fantastic on the iPhone 3GS!

Riiiiiiight.
