It's L-i-n-u-x, that is an Operating System - ouch. You can't make this up, only reality can bring this.
OmniFocus for iPhone and iPod touch - cool. Combining the iPhone OS's Location Services with a GTD application. Obvious idea, but you still have to come up with it first. Additionally, there will be a sync between Mac and iPhone for OmniFocus - that makes the software quite interesting - especially of course if it is based on elements and possibly even can synchronize several OmniFocus instances? The latter probably not, but one can still hope.
One Man, One Long List, No More Web Ads - what surprises me about this discussion on "ad blockers threaten the business model of websites that rely on advertising" is that no one questions this pathetic and dumb business idea. It's quite simple: if you run a business and don't make profits, the business idea is simply useless. Find another one. Ad blockers threaten your income? Well, then it's probably time to return to honest work, isn't it?
Perfect multi-column CSS liquid layouts - iPhone compatible - wow. This looks very promising, especially the point "no browser hacks".
Ruins of Babylon irreparably damaged by Iraq War - "But those who visited Babylon after the country's liberation in 2003 report that it is almost impossible to distinguish what are ancient ruins - and what was destroyed by the coalition forces." - the result of the axis of stupidity. What are a few millennia of cultural assets when you can wage a war to distract from domestic political problems and to secure the economic interests of your donors ...
Ströbele leaves BND committee temporarily | tagesschau.de - "However, initially Ströbele followed Hanning's statements from the audience. The current Interior Secretary and former President of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) explained in detail that there was no reason to distrust the USA and its intelligence services." - örks. August can play chess, but otherwise I strongly doubt his competence. There are many reasons to distrust American intelligence services, which should have reached him by now.
The Floating Boxes CSS Layout - by the same author as the previous layouts. Also very interesting.
