Don't Be A Free User (Pinboard Blog) →
minimalmac: What if a little site you love doesn’t have a business model? Yell at the developers! Explain that you are tired of good projects folding and are willing to pay cash American dollar to prevent that from happening. It doesn’t take prohibitive per-user revenue to put a project in the black. It just requires a number greater than zero. So, today I recorded a future episode of the...

Quicksilver Roars →
lovequicksilver: It’s on the prowl A new Lion-friendly version of QS boasting more than 40 additions, fixes and changes. It’s been a relatively long time coming (4 months – a catching of breath compared to the semi-conscious release cycle of QS pre–ß59), but it’s here – an officially Lion–compatible version of Quicksilver. Lots of good stuff in the latest build.

How to add someone else's iPhone to your AT&T...
I cannot believe how hard it was to find this information online. I searched for all kinds of phrases and keywords on Google and AT&T’s forums, but couldn’t find the answer to my specific question. If you’re in the same boat, hopefully this post will save you much frustration. Joanna and I both had our own iPhone 4S’s in separate AT&T accounts. I wanted to add her...

Dan Moren Reviews iOS 5 →
iOS 5 introduces many new features and improvements. Besides Reminders, Notification Center, and iMessage, here are two of my favorites: While your phone is locked, you can double click the Home button to get a new Camera button next to the unlock slider. Tap that and you’ll jump right into the Camera interface. and In a much-requested addition, you can also now click the iPhone’s volume up...

Freedom Taxes
Warren Buffett is not the only one who wants to stop coddling the super-rich. Quelques Français aussi: 16 of France’s mega-rich signed a petition urging the goverment to raise their taxes. Despite relatively high taxes and a wealth tax signatories such as the L’Oreal heir and the head of a major oil company, Total, are asking the government to raise their taxes to help solve the...

Why Arabic is Terrific →
Maciej Cegłowski just finished studying Arabic at the Monterey Institute for International Studies. His recount is both informative and entertaining. Here’s an excerpt from the Phonetics section: Several enjoyable consonants wait to greet the foreign learner. Most of these are emphatic consonants, which are just like the familiar consonants /k/, /t/, /th/, /s/ and /d/ except that as you...

5.9 Earthquake felt from Virginia to Toronto
I just experienced my first earthquake! About an hour ago, I was working at my desk (on the top floor of one of the AOL buildings in Dulles, VA) and all of a sudden, it felt like someone was vigorously shaking the cubicle on the other side of me. I turned around and saw my co-worker looking at me too. Then, we realized it was more than that. It lasted for a good 15 seconds, but nothing broke or...

Vinyl Is Back →
The Economist: People used to buy bootleg CDs and Japanese imports containing music that none of their friends could get hold of. Now that almost every track is available free on music-streaming services like Spotify or on a pirate website, music fans need something else to boast about. That limited-edition 12-inch in translucent blue vinyl will do nicely. I will always cherish my vinyl...

A Dark Day for Independent Music and Film →
A fire set as part of the ongoing London riots has destroyed the Sony-owned PIAS distribution warehouse, decimating the physical stock of most of the UK’s independent music and film labels. So sad. Please support your favorite artists and record labels by buying their releases, whether digital or physical. Some of my favorite labels were affected (full list on the PIAS site): Brownswood...
