I adore Rogue Amoeba’s stuff. Sorry to hear this functionality is lost.
Also goes to show that app discovery is still too damned difficult since so many are only hearing about this app now.

Interesting ways to leverage gamification. cant wait to see how it turns out. Is there a bigger mobile play here? Perhaps in the pre-paid cell market?

Asylum
I think polite refusal was a part of this. I think the US said “Dude, this is problematic. What if your country let you be so long as you were exiled to the styx?” and he said “Um, OK.” then he got home and his wife said
“WHAT? You must be crazy. Your blind ass better find its way back to that embassy and get that assylum on, or else.”

Larry Page Says Android Important, Not Critical... →
This isn’t as controversial as much as it’s true— just look at their balance sheet. What’s more interesting is that while the whole tech world is racing to gain footing in mobile, Google, a complete leader in the space, is able to invest heavily, and make it one of many focuses. Between Android, their disruptive, legislation-changing auto-tech and their continued search...
Twitter on Patents (The Twitter Blog) →
A step in the right direction. Rather than a “throw the whole idea of IP out” approach (so common from liberal techy-types today) that attacks mythical “software patents” rather than dealing with the problem of patent rights abuse, Twitter is seeking a truly “Do No Evil,” solution-oriented process, which is grounded in contract law to protect their innovations...

“Readers will pay less. That’s the bright side. The settlement gives Amazon carte blanche to discount the eVersions of popular titles, much as it used to.”

Now that we have tasted hope →
theatlantic:
Now that we have come out of hiding,
Why would we live again in the tombs we’d made out of our souls?
And the sundered bodies that we’ve reassembled with prayers and consolations,
What would their torn parts be other than flesh?
Now that we have tasted hope
And dressed each other’s wounds with the legends of our oneness
Would we not prefer to close our mouths forever shut...
