Quasi-daily linkage
- Facebook: just don’t understand –
- Yelp Accused of Extortion | Threat Level | Wired.com – I don't use sites like Yelp very often, but I have to admit that this is a pretty clever scam that they seem to be running. They've probably gotten away with it for a while if they're actually doing it.
- What We Learned from the SuperBowl Ads – The Pursuit of Harpyness – The good kind of snarky. "Women and Doritos are of equal value, to be coveted by some men (skeevy would-be boyfriends) and protected by others (aw, cute little boys!), who are their rightful owners."
- Amazing Alternative Interfaces That Will Change Our Lives | Fuel Your Interface – I find BumpTop and other desktop/shell replacements interesting, but I don't use my desktop enough to make things like that worthwhile. I always search for my apps or docs. I want to get my hands on some of the other interfaces, though.
- BitTorrent visualization in processing.js – Really, really cool JavaScript visualization of BitTorrent that absolutely slaughters Firefox's responsiveness once it's at about 10 seeds and 5 peers.
