This is screaming for an iPhone app. - Amir Gharaat

Amy Chen's iLike of Superstar earlier today reminded me of this old debate, recently made famous by the scene in Juno. Sort of like choosing between Haagen Daz, B&J, or Godiva chocolate ice creams. - Amir Gharaat

This first release lays a good end-to-end foundation… easy set up, smooth cursor movement, and reliable click events. But the UI has key design flaws and missing features that keep it from being an everyday tool. It’s just enough to generate enthusiasm. Looking forward to updates and hope to see other developers innovate around this idea. - Amir Gharaat

I should add, more than any other iPhone app I've used, iTap highlights how unforgiving glass can be with moisture. I might be the minority but I experience frequent "fits and starts" when I attempt long, precise paths. This is a rare problem in most apps... iPhone SDK includes Apple's well-designed touch widgets which don't require high precision. But for this experiment I had good accuracy only when I wrapped a bit of Kleenex on my fingertip. - Amir Gharaat

Love the browser, but the icon makes me think of Simon. Here's a nice alternative. - Amir Gharaat

Good news for engineers specializing in recommender systems. - Amir Gharaat

Amazon's new music wiki-mashup-store... still looking to see how it's better than last.fm. And they're not even using RDFa? No API? No RSS? - Amir Gharaat

I'm so proud of my friend Linus Upson for leading this project. He is the most accomplished engineer I've worked with. From his contribution to DBKit at NeXT before he could legally drink through founding three successful companies... and recently leading Gears and Chrome at Google, he's the embodiment of "smart"+"determined". He recently told me over dinner that his secret project will have significant impact. Not that I doubted him, but now that I know the details, I can't overemphasize how much impact it'll have. Congrats, Linus. - Amir Gharaat

"DimP automatically extracts object motions from the videos. DimP then allows the user to control video playback by scrubbing these objects on their trajectories." - Amir Gharaat

This would be great for dance club VJs - sergiooo

NIce poster. I wasn't really interested in this film, though, until I heard that Rob Corddry (formerly of The Daily Show) plays the role of press secretary Ari Fleischer. That's some evil-genius casting! - M. Donaldson

Just sent you one! Enjoy! - Sid Murlidhar

Slow Food Nation today announced the California farmers and producers who will be featured at the Slow Food Nation Market, a unique farmers’ market in San Francisco’s Civic Center being held at the Marketplace at Slow Food Nation’s Labor Day Weekend event (August 29 – September 1). A learning market, vendors will showcase their signature products which share the philosophy of each farm. With products such as M&M Peach Ranch’s desert peaches and Koda Farms’ Kokuho Rose Japanese-style variety rice, each booth at the Market tells the story of land, place and people. - Amir Gharaat

I'll probably take my family to this... looks awesome. And good music lineup too... Gnarls, Ozo, etc.. - Amir Gharaat

I played the demo. One word: fun. - Amir Gharaat

Best use of VCwear I've seen. Customize the back. and they sell neat-o holders too. - Amir Gharaat

I haven't watched this TV show yet, but judging from the soundtrack, I just set a TiVo Season Pass. - Amir Gharaat
