"'social' games... have become all the rage on social networks such as Facebook. These are more about interaction than action: players either join their friends for an online game of poker or Scrabble, or to create and show off virtual pets, farms and mob families. Zynga, the market leader, which had 22m users in January, now has more than 170m..."

Interesting that they'll be airing on Virgin flights.. I'd rather watch random pitches than most of the movies they show..

Paul Buchheit in Founders at Work (p. 162): "AdSense, the content-targeted ads, was actually something that, if I recall, I did on a Friday... Everyone hated it. Many people were kind of mad at me because they didn’t really go for the whole concept. It was something that had been talked about, and people agreed that it was not workable, it was not a good idea. So, to some extent, they were agitated that I wasted my time."

"It seems strange that the system will allow anonymous voting, but not anonymous comments. Allowing the admin to enable anonymous commenting would be very helpful." Yep. Maybe uservoice should listen to its own users..

Probably just an oversight on the set, & possibly a violation of his contract with MS??

"UserVoice requires creating an account." Are you sure this isn't an admin setting?

Professors certainly matter to students. I had one [award-winning] Art History professor who was very accessible despite teaching popular 1st year classes with hundreds of students. I also had a stats prof from China who could barely speak English...

Have a look at Flock - The Social Web Browser [http://www.flock.com/]

"The two African-American business leaders estimate their holdings -- from hotels to TV stations -- are worth $1 billion. One St. Louis hotel they own once barred black people."

"It is highly unlikely that whatever Jennings is suffering from now had anything to do with the flu vaccine she received in August. Unfortunately, this is not stopping irresponsible news coverage or exploitation by anti-vaccinationists... Jennings has now inserted herself in to the anti-vaccine movement, and is using her own case to 'warn about the dangers of vaccines.'"

We need a vaccine to cure ignorance...

Great idea. Pictures are worth...

Btw, not a very descriptive title.. perhaps an "infographic" would have helped :)

Google hints that it may introduce the format for some other categories, saying it will “increase ... the number of advertisers able to participate.”

"Pipe level neutrality is surely only one layer of a stack."

Is it? Am I missing something? Doesn't net neutrality just guarantee all TRAFFIC equal access at the network level? It doesn't guarantee all APPS equal access to the AppStore, any more than "highway neutrality" (equal access to the highway system) would allow Hyundai to sell its models at a Mercedes dealership...

PHP might not be the best choice for every job, but do Java developers really have more resources? Google says...

java+libraries: 13,600,000 results

php+libraries: 32,200,000 results

I agree.. Creating a separate channel for app notifications is a great idea. And if notifications are of VALUE, users may pay more attention.
