“Previously, airlines worried about dissatisfied customers,” said a Wharton professor, Serguei Netessine. “Now I don’t think they worry about it because the customer service at all airlines is so horrible.”

“SCANDALOUS WENCH!”

Some very cool OS X command-line utilities I never knew existed.

All it needs is a few “Cool Site of the Day” banners, and it’d be perfect.

Open-source project to allow the creation of massive massively-parallelized systems. I’m so glad my CompSci course taught me about parallel programming in 1997, because it’s only going to become more important.

Open-source-software social network, tracking both projects and people.

Best online radio station I’ve played with in a while. Definitely a step-above Pandora — Meemix has a social edge Pandora lacks — and the “Pulse” control is nice too.

Article about the inevitability of records being leaked pre-release. I can’t remember the last time I bought an album that I hadn’t listened to already via download. All hail OiNK!

This looks fab — New “teen” comedy written by Seth Rogen and produced by Judd Apatow.

The excellent Mac remote control software adds an AJAX web-server designed for the iPhone. It works a treat for the old Mac Mini I keep under my TV.

Attackers could theoretically use DNS rebinding to use your computer to connect to anywhere — Even internal sites. I’m skeptical that this is a “big” problem — the hurdles that an attacker would have to leap are numerous — but it’s an interesting approach.

Download it for $0.99, then play it in the background when you’re showing off your iPhone.

Much as I love my bassets, I suspect my next dog will have to be a “puggle” (half-pug, half-beagle). They’re pretty adorable.

Arkanoid for the DS will be packaged with a paddle controller so you can play the game as it was always intended. This makes me colossally happy.

Firefox plugin which collaboratively identifies faces in photos all over the web. There’s no smart matching yet, but that’s promised for the future. Creepy, inevitable, and awesome.

PopCap release an JavaScript version of the seminal Bejeweled which is designed to run in the web browser on the iPhone. Nice and all, but imagine if they were able to write a native app with sound, dragging, etc.

I’m seeing increased chatter about the source control package “git” at the moment. I should investigate it at some point.

Donationware OS X app to help you get your act together. Comes highly recommended by friends.

My wife, in an email to a total stranger: “Rod and I have been married for three and a half years. He has not done a single load of laundry in that time. […] His hairline has receded, his waistline has expanded, he has stopped wearing his contacts, and his beard is more scruff than anything else.”

True love, non?
