9-Bits by David Kaneda: Dear Microsoft/Mozilla/Opera:

Please don’t implement Webkit prefixes. The very idea is absurd, goes against the entire reason for having CSS prefixes, and makes me a sad panda…

“

When you’re scientifically literate, the world looks different to you. It’s a particular way of questioning what you see and hear. When empowered by this state of mind, objective realities matter. These are the truths of the world that exist outside of whatever your belief system tells you.

One objective reality is that our government doesn’t work, not because we have dysfunctional politicians, but because we have dysfunctional voters. As a scientist and educator, my goal, then, is not to become President and lead a dysfunctional electorate, but to enlighten the electorate so they might choose the right leaders in the first place.

“Also under this new deal, pirated movies remain free of charge, free of non-skippable ads, free of five-minute load times, and are now nearly three months ahead of the competition.”

“People who create things of value deserve to be rewarded for that creation, no less than people who build cars or make computers or cook McDonald’s burgers. This is a fundamental axiom without which there is no benefit in creation for any purpose save as a hobby.”

sweendawg:

This is a post to prove that Tumblr incorrectly parses “:1234” in the click-through URL field as a port, when it’s part of a directory path. The URL entered into the click-through link field is: “http://www.foo.com/bar:1234”. When the link is clicked, it will incorrectly take you to “http://www.foo.com:1234/bar:1234”.

I am not crazy.

“All I can think is: we gave you the Internet. We gave you the Web. We gave you MP3 and MP4. We gave you e-commerce, micropayments, PayPal, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, the iPad, the iPhone, the laptop, 3G, wifi—hell, you can even get online while you’re on an AIRPLANE. What the hell more do you want from us?”
