"…while the glitches are important to point out, overall Outside Lands was an impressive event. There was a sense among all the people I spoke with that we were part of something special, from the chance to walk through long stretches of the park in misty darkness (as packs of bikers cycled by) at the end of the night, to the colored lights shining up against the trees bordering the stages, to the way that for a 60,000 strong crowd, no crush was totally unbearable (well, the beer lines were a little annoying)"

"If you’re looking to mock up an iPhone app during the design or coding process, a good place to start is the fully editable PSD file on teehan+lax that includes samples of most elements."

"…it seems that a growing list of characters from my favorite TV show — AMC’s “Mad Men” — have signed up for Twitter."

"Could Twitter have charged users as an alternative? Sure. And some would have paid it. But that would start a bad precedent. In order for Twitter to get the SMS deals it needs (and has in the US, Canada and India) to make its business viable, scalable and one day figure out how to make it profitable, it can not be beholden to carriers. Setting the precedent of just passing it onto the users would have put Twitter at a negotiating disadvantage with future deals. They needed to prove they'd walk away, even if it meant shutting down a country partially for a while. This was a smart business move."
