"We tell ourselves stories in order to live, we look for meaning in the mire of John Romero’s career. Now Romero has written an autobiography to say not to do that. Doom Guy is a corrective to the narrative of Masters of Doom — at points, explicitly so."

Why contain it? Let it spill over the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end they'll beg us to save them.

In Portugal the Foursquare data is quite accurate, if not always comprehensive outside major urban areas.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the service, and while I have no clue about their financial status, I hope this is real and comes to fruition. It would be a shame to see 4sq acquired by some larger competitor instead of travelling their own path. A deal with Apple would be great for their sustainability, I'm sure.

I just wish Google would start building universal apps for iOS. Their apps on iPhone aren't really all that great, and when you add that to the fact that they seem to be ignoring the iPad, it's just annoying.

The iPad is great for mail. A Gmail app built only for the iPhone form factor won't be at all useless, but it will be a disappointment.
