Apple on Thursday unveiled the tools and technologies that will allow independent software developers to create and sell programs for the iPhone and iPod touch. In an event at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California, Apple executives unveiled a revised set of iPhone developer tools, based on the company's existing tools for developing Mac software.
“We’re excited about creating a vibrant third-party developer community with potentially thousands of native applications for iPhone and iPod touch,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
FINALLY!

Some guy apparently discovered a keylogger inside his Dell Laptop.
If this isn't a hoax, we're truly living in a fucked-up world.

BlitzWeekend: Thanks to Heri for bringing this to my attention:
The first - and hopefully not the last - edition of BlitzWeekend will take place this Weekend in Montréal. BlitzWeekend is a gathering of developers, geeks, technologists an entrepreneurs, divided into small teams, which each must design, build and launch a product in 48 hours!
Can’t wait to see what will come out of that.
Sad thing is, I can’t attend as I already had plans which make it impossible for me to attend or participate. I’ll definitely take a rain check though.
I made a mistake. Let it be known that the event will take place on the weekend of march 1st.

Almost a year ago, I created a website. Now, yesterday, while keeping an eye on the repercussions of my domain transfer, I stumble upon this thread in the World of Warcraft forums.
Someone actually stole my website.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against someone building a website that competes with mine, that's just healthy.
What I do mind is:
So, to get back at the guy, I implemented a few small features from the clone site and integrated them in my site. Why not. At least I didn't rip off his code.
Doesn't anybody know what copyright is anymore?
Anyways, what should I do about this?
Argh.

I've decided to get a proper domain for my WoW Gem Finder application that was on a subdomain (wowgems.jponrails.com). The new domain is www.wowgemfinder.com.
This should be an interesting experiment and will yield an answer to the eternal question: what is the effect of moving a site to a new domain on the site's PageRank.
I expect my PageRank to be disrupted, but eventually, in 3 months or so, I expect it to be better, since the new domain name is more SEO-friendly than the old one.
I took care of all the necessary things, including:
Now, all I have to do is sit back and see what will happen to my PageRank. Hopefully, the transition won't be too brutal. I'll keep you posted!

Who needs the real thing when you can have a pretend scratch-proof, water-tight, solar-powered, ultralight Air MacBook?
Like an Air Guitar, it's made of air, but think of all the upsides:
IMHO, it's a much better value than the original.
