In the past, the Google Wave team has spent countless hours solely on improving the experience of running Google Wave in Internet Explorer. We could continue in this fashion, but using Google Chrome Frame instead lets us invest all that engineering time in more features for all our users, without leaving Internet Explorer users behind.

Sounds good to me!

“The ZFS team has produced a game-changing file system/volume manager. The chance to get it into the hands of 10s of millions of Mac users – and to influence Redmond’s file system strategy – seem to this outsider an opportunity of a lifetime.

If the ZFS engineering team opposed this – and I’d love to hear their take – I encourage them to reconsider. Marketers often ask the question ‘would you prefer 100% of nothing or 40% of something huge?’”

Bootlegging is more accurate.

The ad was brought to my attention by my colleague Devin Schvaneveldt on Twitter. I bookmarked it when I saw the tweet, but didn’t actually see it until Zeke walked into my office and said, “You need to see this commercial.”

I’m an extremely pleased owner of one of these myself. I had originally intended to purchase the Ultimate model, which – like its predecessor – has no markings on the key caps. It was only when the Professional arrived in the mail that I realized the error. In the end, it didn’t make a difference.

If you’re looking for a keyboard, this is pretty much the best you can buy.

If there is anything that is of concern to us, then we will definitely take action in consultation with our [religious clerics] and send it back to the parliament. You be assured of that. This is something that we’re also serious about and should not allow.

Were it not for religion, we may have matured past the issues of abortion, same-sex marriage, and evolution. Americans have long since moved past this former “right to choose” from a legal perspective, but religious dogma continues to hold us back in many other ways.

MacRuby literally dominates Ruby 1.9.1. On “average”, according to these limited tests the experimental branch of MacRuby appears to be roughly 3 times faster than Ruby 1.9.1 (YARV), and in some cases even faster than that. You should definitely find this impressive.

Apple’s sponsorship of the MacRuby project is – at least on the surface – very much like Google’s unladen-swallow Python branch.

This is a really big deal.

Update: “Sponsorship” may have been the wrong word to use, here. MacRuby is Apple’s project. They don’t just “sponsor” it.

The world is watching to see what America is going to do, because if America acts on climate change, the world will follow.

This is true of far more than climate change.
