Appulous : The iPhone and iPod Touch Application Index
by sbrothier
& 3 others
As many iPhone and iPod touch owners have discovered, Apple's iTunes App Store has many flaws which render it useless to the common user. Apple has chosen to allow a multitude of ridiculous, worthless, poorly-represented applications through its "strict" screening process, nearly all written by mediocre programmers with a dream of getting rich quick. Many of these programmers game the reviews system, misrepresent their application in the description, and generally try to swindle the honest buyer. Applications generally do not cost much, but small fees add up. The iPhone/iPod community has wasted so much money on these programs, an epidemic has taken hold where people have simply stopped buying apps they aren't certain of so they don't find themselves purchasing yet another waste of a program.
Customer-centered Business - Peter Drucker and Web Marketing | Management Tools for Startups and Small Businesses
by greut
What is our business is not determined by the producer but by the consumer. It is not defined by the company’s name, statutes, or articles of incorporation but by the want the consumer satisfies when he buys a product or service. The question can therefore be answered only by looking at the business from the outside, from the point of view of the customer and the market what the consumer sees, thinks, believes and wants at any given time must be accepted by management is an objective fact deserving to be taken as seriously as the reports of a salesman, the tests of the engineer or the figures of the accountant — something few managements find it easy to do. In management must make a conscious effort to get honest answers from the consumer himself rather than attempt to read his mind.
Fraser Speirs – On the Flickr support in iPhoto ‘09
by sbrothier
(via)
As you may know, Apple added Flickr uploading to iPhoto ‘09. As you may guess, I was a little perturbed at this since I pay my mortgage by selling, er, a Flickr upload plugin for iPhoto.
I acquired my copy of iLife ‘09 yesterday and decided to dive deep on how Apple have implemented Flickr integration in iPhoto ‘09. Here are the results of my investigation. Be aware as you read that this is the result of a morning’s click-around investigation and not months of serious use. I will do my best to give an honest assessment of what is in iPhoto ‘09, and you’ve already read my full disclosure in the previous paragraph.
World of Samurai

In our site you will find items connected to all aspects of the world of samurai, from weapons to cultural artefacts.

Right To Blog! posted in Blogging on Slotvent

At what point did we become controlled as blog writers? Where did all the fun of blogging end and all this rubbish begin? Lately I have been looking at a few other blogs on the internet and to be honest all noticed was blogs all writing the same rubbish.
BBC NEWS | Technology | The Tech Lab: Bruce Schneier
by karlcow
Cardinal Richelieu famously said: "If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged." When all your words and actions can be saved for later examination, different rules have to apply.
Society works precisely because conversation is ephemeral; because people forget, and because people don't have to justify every word they utter.

La mise à jour qu'il vous fallait pour Vista : XP.To be honest there is only one conclusion to be made; Microsoft have really outdone themselves in delivering a brand new operating system that really excels in all the areas where Vista was sub-optimal. From my testing, discussions with friends and colleagues, and a review of the material out there on the web there seems to be no doubt whatsoever that that upgrade to XP is well worth the money. Microsoft can really pat themselves on the back for a job well done

iPod: It’ll break in a year, but by then you’ll want the new one.
Apple: You think you need it, we know you just want it.
Samsung: Didn’t you mean to buy Sony?
Ikea: One day you’ll be able to afford real furniture.
Hummer: Get the attention you’ve always craved. While filling up the gas tank again.
Taco Bell: You’re drunk and we’re still open.
Online Business and the Rising Canadian Dollar
by flakki
To be honest, I never thought I’d see this day. The Canadian dollar not only reaching parity, but rising above it. As a Canadian, I’m pretty proud of this, and what I don’t understand is the negative reaction some Canadians are having to our country’s success.

Nude art - Pin Up Artistic Nude Drawing
artists who paint "pin-up". The main field of these artists is art (oil painting, acrylic, watercolor). However, their soul is so glamour, that they can not stay aside and pay much attention and creativity to nude art where they show all beauty of female and male nude body and all those feelings that make us feel excited and touch our heart. These pictures are called "nude pin-up". We call them "love in paintings" and "life in love". Perhaps, there is nothing more strong then erotic fantasies in each other's minds. However, artists are open and honest and they put their erotic fantasies on their pictures.

Day 78: A shout out to my man Francis, that rare breed of waiter who knows how to call a spade a spade. Francis demonstrated this exceptional ability last night at dinner. I was flummoxed, unable to decide what to choose as an appetizer, and so I put the following question to Francis: "How about the Atlantic seafood tian? Is it any good?"
His answer: "Not really."
Boom. An honest answer from an honest man.

Learn all about Fast Food - Part I

Fast food. Wheither it is tacos or burgers, we all love it just the same. Fast food has become a way of life for some people. They eat it three meals a day. There is no difference between a Big Mac and a steak to some people these days. When I was growing up as a kid, I hardly ever ate any fast food. To be honest we were too poor to eat fast food. Sometimes I think that was a blessing. I mean, sure I love a bucket of fried chicken like the rest of you, but there is more to eating than fast food.
