April 23rd, 2011Not much to add to this. Interesting thoughts.
The promise that you can get paid really well to do precisely what your boss instructs you to do is now a dream, no longer a reality.

April 23rd, 2011Dropbox Lack of Security – Miguel de Icaza →
April 19th, 2011This is sad news about dropbox.
Although, thinking about it, they've had a feature for a while that makes uploads of common files (e.g. a music file that lots of people already have in their dropbox) almost instant. A few times I've noticed a file transfer up to the cloud without actually uploading. I'm pretty sure that's a good indicator it wasn't as encrypted and locked down as they make out.

April 15th, 2011John Gruber on the state of Apple’s syncing with iOS
Apple seems to be a generation ahead of its competitors on the device side — both hardware and software — but a generation behind on the cloud side

Rapportive →
April 12th, 2011I've been using Rapportive for a while, and they've just added a feature that allows it to more intelligently work out who it is that emailed you.
You get a sidebar in your gmail that tells you what the person emailing you has been tweeting/facebooking etc recently. I guess it sounds creepy when you put it like that, but I like it. I can't be bothered to follow what's happening on facebook, so I like that I do get to see some of what's going on with the people I actually email.
Avaaz – Stop Wikileaks Torture →
April 8th, 2011While reasonable people can disagree about the approach of Wikileaks and the the rights or wrongs of those who delivered information to them, the illegal torture of Bradley Manning, who has yet to receive a fair trial or be convicted of any crime, is a shameful violation of human rights and human dignity
