This made me think, and is worth looking it. I'm not actually sure how to summaries it without simply obviating the need to read it in full, so really, just go look if you're interested in the internet and mobile devices and IoT type stuff.

A coincidence of name, nothing more, but this looks interesting and I want to come back to it.

Just a bit of research for a vague idea. Ignore me.

Good set of practical tips – useful to people who wish to blog anonymously, but also just to people who wish to minimise their identifiable digital footprint.

- Simperium
The sync service that powers Simplenote, my favourite quick text editing tools, is now available as an API for use in other apps. This is very exciting news for someone like me.

- Sun Drums
I wish to acquire this for to listen to on the electrical ipod. I must remember to download it when I get home. For free and everything.
- PayPal Here
Paypal have launched a competitor to Square. Neither are available in the UK, so I don't care that much, but they're an indicator of the future, and it's good to see competition in this space. Although frankly, I think you'd have to be mad to try and run a serious business with Paypal, given their oft-demonstrated willingness to simply seize their users assets for spurious reasons like "we thought you were making too much money".
- Rob Reid: The $8 billion iPod | Video on TED.com
It's not going to come as a galloping shock to anyone here to discover that the numbers quoted by the pro-copyright-enforcement lobby in terms of lost revenue and jobs are total crap, btu this TED talk makes it clear just how much total bullshit they are. And is funny. Go watch.

I usually use my own photos as a desktop background (I wouldn't take them if they didn't make me happy) but I think I may have to use a few of these, instead.

Interesting post about mobile-phone-number privacy. I can already think of a dozen way I could abuse this knowledge.

If you have not read the Invisibles then you should have. If you have read the Invisibles then you may enjoy this reminiscence of the experience of reading it for the first time.
- Ninth Art: for the discerning reader
Minor pleasure of the day: getting 9A back on one of it's original two domains. If the person who jumped on ninthart.com the instant that ISP incompetence cause it to lapse is reading this: please can we have it back? There's still hundreds of links pointing to your site that are dead. I will buy you the domain of your choice in exchange?
- Android Isn’t About Building a Mobile Platform | TightWind
Solid analysis of Google's behaviour and strategy in respect of Android and the bigger picture. It's why I tend to call bullshit on their mantra a bit re: their evilness, because I would prefer to be the customer, not the product sold. I will admit that for a company set on selling me as a product, they provide a much better service than most in exchange, but even that's not all good, as it means they tend to blow away paid-for competition that does stuff (or might do stuff) better than they do.

- The Most Popular Phone in the World
This is the sort of thing that it's useful to keep in mind as perspective, when considering technology. "90% of the phone for 20% of the price" is something that could be applied to all sorts of different sorts of development work. (Especially since is it my experience that the first 90% of any project, the rough functionality type work is indeed, less that half the work/cost.)
