“OpenID community leader Scott Kveton noticed this morning that his Twitter profile page is now the #1 search result in Google for his last name, not his blog. This is something TechCrunch reported on earlier this month, but people are just starting to wrap their heads around it. I know I want this blog to remain the #1 search result for my name, not my Twitter...

Most common passwords list from 3 databases →
It’s a shame people’s username are most often longer and much more harder to guess than their actual passwords. More time is spent thinking of a unique username than password because most are already taken in sites with a huge userbase.
You should never use the same password for all your accounts and should always use a completely different password for your email, a password you use...

High tech is in young generation's blood
Yesterday evening, I was waiting bored-to-death in a Etisalat (the local crappy communication provider) shop waiting for this surprisingly nice technician to fix a problem we had with Maryam’s cell line.
A noisy family (Dad, the weird teenage boy, and a little cute girl) were there too.
Out of all that frustration I was dealing with, I realized that the little girl (barely 10) took a demo...

Yet another plist file in the iPhone OS 3.0 beta references four different unknown products. They could be new iPhones, new iPod touches, or even crazier things like a Mac tablet or an iPhone nano.

Social Notworking →
The practice of spending time unproductively on social-networking websites, especially when one should be working. Joe - Hey, Mark is constantly updating his Facebook status, does he not have any work to do? John - His company obviously doesnt realise how much Social Notworking he is doing!

Perspective
marco:
I started using Windows 2000 when it was a remarkably stable beta, 10 years ago this month. The bank across the street still uses it on every PC. So do a lot of other corporate computers.
But that’s OK. Most PCs now run Windows XP, which is “only” 7.5 years old. (It came with Internet Explorer 6, which is also still in widespread use.)
Most people don’t keep cars for this long.

jQuery Flash Plugin →

Looks like a nice replacement for SWFObject, as 90% of my web projects use jQuery anyway.

“Distraction-free writing tools transform your cluttered browser in such a fashion that you can focus on writing - everything else on the desktop screen stays hidden so you have nothing else to do but write.
Now something that applies the same concept to reading websites - it removes the clutter from web pages so it becomes easy to focus on reading.

Replacing Tumblr’s Missing Paragraphs
matthewb:
When generating page markup, Tumblr’s template engine outputs any single line (or paragraph) entered into its source, caption or description fields without any containing elements (ie, no <p> tags). Containing elements are only added when there is at least two lines of copy, separated by a blank line.
Although this behaviour is commonplace in text-to-HTML converters, it can...

ImageScale for Mac →
ImageScale is a tiny app made with Automator to scale images in bulk.
You can resize images by percentage or pixel. It alos makes a copy of your original files in case you forgot to back them up initially.
This is good when you don’t have Photoshop or you just don’t want to use sluggish apps like that for such simple job.

Safari 4, so far II
Well, it’s beta!
As much as I was impressed at the first encounter, I can tell that it shows its beta behaviors after 4 crashes in different occasions.
However:
I’m still getting used to moving tabs around
I hate the fact that Safari, still, doesn’t offer reloading the last session after a sucessful/unsuccessful shutdown (like in Firefox)
I miss social bookmarking and SEO...

Amazing! Apart from the jQueryUI, changing border-left or border-right changes the angle too.

A new domain, hundreds of bug fixes, and a new theming engine. I haven’t tested it yet, but I believe they’ve also included a patch which allows most elements to work in Mobile WebKit.
