Can Twitter users link out? (Scripting News)

I have several accounts that I use for testing Twitter apps. One of them, bullmancuso, was shut down last October. A few weeks ago I petitioned to have the account restored. Permalink to this paragraph

This evening I got an email from the Twitter support person BFF, who explained: Permalink to this paragraph

"Your account was suspended because our specialists found that your tweets were primarily links to other sites and not personal updates, a violation of Twitter Rules."  Permalink to this paragraph

I don't like chrome OS ...

 

  • I don’t like everything running in a browser 
  • I like native applications 
  • I like rich applications 
  • I like native clients that use an API to access web services 
  • I like all the standardization in UI (remember the Dos days, same thing in the web world today) 
  • What was the point of NaCL? Obviously there is a need for native code 
  • Alternative interfaces (netbook remix type interfaces, webbook, chromeOS) aren’t any better in terms of ease of use 
  • Sure ease of use is important, expecting people to install an application is also important 
  • Have you seen/used Google wave’s interface? If you haven’t, it sucks! 
  • Love the idea of fastboot, wish they’d improve Linuxs boot times instead of working on chrome OS 
  • Love the idea of fastboot, wish they’d improve linux standby/hibernate resume times instead of working on chrome OS 
  • Want to create a new OS, how about contributing to haiku, or syllable or any of the other countless cool alternative OS's out there? (to their credit they have with their summer of code projects, but how about more official backing)
  • Services... everytime I think services I'm reminded of my phone, and how I wish it was different. And you want to bring the services model to software?!

Just had to get that of my chest.

Hak5 Episode 614 – Firewall evasion, SSH and virtual appliances!

I've been using virtualbox for a while, but had no idea that virtualbox had started to support vmdk files natively. I found that out today in the above episode. Downloading the haiku vmdk which is the first thing I'm going to try out.

PC Perspective - Intel Atom 330 Dual-core Processor Review

What was more surprising was what we found under the hood of the ION reference design that NVIDIA sent us - a dual-core Atom 330 processor that we have yet to see in any other products to date.  While all current generation Atom CPUs from Intel are single-core HyperThreaded designs, the Atom 330 has two physical dies on one CPU substrate, each of which is HyperThreaded for a total of 4 threads of CPU power

Haven't heard of this processor before. And more interestingly in a netbook.

Seesmic web looks messed up in firefox 3.5.5

 

I’m trying to figure out why seesmic web looks messed up in firefox 3.5.5. At first I thought it was an extension, but disabling them all didn’t help at all. Hope they fix it soon.

Better Gmail 2 update breaks unread count

This was working well for a while, but now, the "unread count" is not showing up on the tab anymore. Any fix to this?

If you use the bettergmail extension, and you haven't updated yet, don't. It breaks the unread count on the gmail tab, which is one of the main reasons for my use of this extension. Hopefully Gina will fix this soon, shes been busy with her book. This is for version 0.9.6.

Gina pointed me to this thread... installing the updated userscript fixes the issue.

John Resig - Deep Tracing of Internet Explorer

After reading a recent post by Steve Souders concerning a free tool called dynaTrace Ajax, I was intrigued. It claimed to provide full tracing analysis of Internet Explorer 6-8 (including JavaScript, rendering, and network traffic). Giving it a try I was very impressed. I tested against a few web sites but got the most interesting results running against the JavaScript-heavy Gmail in Internet Explorer 8.
