New Firefox builds offer JavaScript parse tree API: “An API for parsing JavaScript” Neat for tool devs. No word on whether you can modify/write to it.

Would be nice if my Apple bluetooth keyboard had a backup USB port for the mornings when it refuses to pair with my MacBook.

So can I get an “iris-scan block” coating for my glasses? And at what point will such coatings become illegal? (Remember, it’s illegal to put a shiny coating on a vehicle’s license plate for the same reason — interfering with automatic plate scanners.)

OmniFocus is nice, but $40 more to get an iPad-specific build? That’s not an impulse-buy price. That’s a “reevaluate the competitors” price.

If you disrupt a large enough industry, expect lawsuits, lobbying, and gov. protection for the incumbent (re: short rental vs. hotels in NY)

I really hope iOS 4.1 improves the experience on the 3G device. It’s *terrible* with iOS 4. Buggy and painfully slow.
This video seems to be about right: “OS 4.0 on 3G iPhone (parody)“.
[Update Jul 30 2010]
I tried this tip “Disable Spotlight Searches to Improve iPhone 3G Performance on iOS 4” combined with the “double hard reset“… Not sure that it helped yet. Opening the Messages/SMS app still takes ~5 seconds, but some actions feel a little better. (Related note, I do the same, disable as much Spotlight as possible, on all my desktop machines as well, for the same reason — the daemon is a painful hit to performance for a feature I don’t use.) -

hmmm.. What to do with a personal satellite.. For $8k, assuming it actually happens, this becomes a feasible school science project — “Extreme Hobbyists Put Satellites Into Orbit With $8,000 Kits“

was reminded again yesterday that TSA agents can make up their own interpretation of the rules, and don’t have to explain why.

I read “Nokia bike charger” as well-made, reliable power generator for DIY projects. Curious what the power output specs are.
