- Apple announcing "fun new products" next Tuesday I'm always intrigued by Apple announcements obviously, but 'fun new products' really floats the boat. Could there really be more stuff for me to buy!? I'd practically run out.
- neologasm: a weblog about the joy of new words I should send this to Matt Jones, really. He'd have a new Nokia product rolling off the shelves for each new word created. Which sort of rocks...
- Girl jumps through basketball hoop on Google Video It's pretty clearly going to be a fake one way or another, but it's a pretty impressive one.
- I've been playing with CoComment a bit, and - when it works - it's pretty nice... Things are always a bit flaky when they depend on people implementing their templates properly, but it's a nicely implemented and mostly functional potentially really useful system...
- Ben Metcalfe on CoComment A well-thought-through interrogation of the premise behind CoComment and some of the problems it engenders. Nice post.
- "Experts have uncovered a serious security hole in the way Apple software handles downloaded files." It's more troubling conceptually rather than actually, since there are no live versions of these viruses in public. But now the hole is well-known, it's likely that people will try and exploit it...

Comments
Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.
What disturbs me about that b'ball video is the way the guys all congratulate each other while the girl is clearly suffering from a knock to the head as she came through the hoop.

Exactly what I thought! Ha, and they've got nothing to celebrate really, it was all here.

I'd've thought that coComment has a bigger problem than semantically forking conversations - it's completely useless unless everyone in a discussion is using coComment. (co.mments.com seems a bit better - it logs all comments in a thread, and doesn't require changes to templates. Bit flakey, though.)
