“If you have a “forgot password” feature that sends password reset links via...”
– Jeffrey Paul makes a good point. Security shouldn’t be a concern if you are already sending tokens for password resets. Also, if my email is hacked into, I would have much more to worry about than Facebook and Twitter passwords.

Just like social media marketing, gamification never sat right with me, and this piece explains why, far better than I could have ever done.

The iPad: Less is More →
The iPad only does less than a regular computer to us geeks. To everyone else, it does more.  This guy, albeit young, is saying what most tech journalists fail to realize. Good luck with your task killers, ‘open’ proponents.

New 2011 Manga Series
Hiromu Arakawa, the author of the popular Fullmetal Alchemist manga, has announced that he will be launching a new series as early as April. Meanwhile, the author of Major, a baseball manga with a large fan base in Japan, has followed up by announcing his new boxing manga series. While I am excited about the former, the latter makes me wonder wether we need another boxing manga beside the...

On Market Share →
Diogenex: Android has overtaken Symbian smartphone operating system market share. Apple’s lead in tablets is plummeting (or not). These days news about mobile market share is rampant, and seemingly everyone wants to add their voice to the chorus of pundits discussing the numbers. But let’s set aside questions of how market share is calculated to ask a simple question: why does market share...

iPhone = Mac 2.0 →
A good piece I came cross via Daring Fireball. I join Jean-Louis Gassée in his point of view and would add that a shrinking iOS share would definitely lead to a more refined experience with all the crapware moving to the dominant platform.

Thoughts on the Mac Appstore...
Steve Jobs has just announced the Mac App Store. This will be a hot topic in the upcoming months and will undoubtedly fuel intense debates around Apple’s virtual ecosystem. I think the idea of an App Store on Mac is welcome, as long as Apple doesn’t prevent developers from distributing their apps outside of it. Of course, it won’t be necessarily beneficial to all developers, as...

Stuttter™
We are getting increasingly used to all the unusual and bizarre naming conventions we see around the web. One of the most notable patterns is repeating one consonant (or vowel in some cases) several times (dribbble, fffound come to mind). While this technique results in unique brands with available domain names, it is often hard to guess the right pronunciation at first and even harder to spell it...

Playing: Pokemon White
I got my hands on the latest iteration of Pokeman Pokemon for the nintendo DS, and I have to say that… well, it’s just another Pokemon game. I have to admit that I dig the legendaries of White / Black (here), but not quite the starters. Between a fire pig, a stupid-looking otter and a god-knows-what plant type, there is nothing to get excited about.  I haven’t played a Pokemon...
