Daring Fireball about another Dell laptop having a case of the exploding battery:

Mental exercise: imagine the media coverage if this had been an Apple notebook.

Segway Centaur. It’s appalling: they have this amazing technology, and everything they manage to produce — and even their concepts — is terminally dorky. I guess you can’t get away from starting up as a motorized wheelchair maker.

See also: Steve Jobs meets the Segway. Somehow I don’t think they followed his advice.

This is hilarious. The Iconfactory organizes a cute 7-day buzz campaign to announce the site’s redesign (while I still find it ridiculous to close shop for one fiftieth of a year just to launch a website redesign — this makes the Apple Store update Post-Its look amazingly professional now — I can’t argue that it wasn’t highly successful, considering how many blogs linked to it) and… nobody told them that DNS updates could take up to 24 or 48 hours, and they shouldn’t rely on them to make the new site accessible on due date. Not to mention the second sentence on this screenshot, which is just clueless.

Here’s a webmaster who deserves to be fired.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
