It seems pretty obvious to me at least that the underlying "e-reader" software of any Apple device will be a browser's rendering engine, and that the standards involved will include HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Nine Questions: On Tablet Dreams, Schemes and Screens of Hope
Not since a guy named Moses received a tablet have we seen such enthusiasm for the form. The tablet dream -- with its inevitable Apple intrigue and drumbeat of Amazon/Apple war -- has rekindled interest in digital publishing, providing hope for magazine and news industries pummeled mercilessl...
I don't want to beat a dying horse, but I would love to see TripIt support arbitrary OpenID providers besides Google. To fully realize the vision that you describe here, you need to be agnostic to the service providers that people choose to use.
Therefore, once again, I'd love to be able to use my own OpenID to access my TripIt account, in the same way that I use my OpenID to sign this comment.
The Traveler-Centric Future - Part Two - Social Networking
Social networking isn’t quite everywhere yet, but it’s definitely getting there. The numbers are massive–Gartner projects that the number of people around the world participating in social networks will grow from 118 million in 2008 to 800 million by 2012. Facebook alone has over 300 million use...
I generally support this line of thinking (i.e. minimal disclosure) but the problem is that you lack economic clout to make the argument to get such a scheme adopted widely — especially in digital networked systems (i.e. social web sites or applications).
It may take government intervention to force such a system, but as it turns out — a card that provides minimum disclosure in practice is often less useful than you might hope — and the bearer is often requested (or demanded) to provide additional information — name, provenance, email address, and so on — to receive basic levels of service.
It has less to do with identity and authentication than it does the recognition of economic value of knowing who you are and how to contact you after you're gone.
What a cunning stunt
[Dave Birch] I am, very literally, green with envy. I count myself as a reasonably good speaker, and I try to use narrative and historical examples to explain key principles. But nothing beats a good demo, and I saw an excellent one today, one that I wish I'd thought of! At the Intellect confere...

So, I use OpenID to access my Blinksale account. Seems like that's not supported with Invoicie? Can has OAuth?
Invoicie: Blinksale for the iPhone
The recent launch of Logpost motivated me to build my own API-driven only app. That and my shiney new iPhone 3GS is just craving for me to build some apps for it. So here we go. You'll need a Blinksale account to try it out - but that is the entire point after all. Please let me know if you have ...
Hmm. I suppose if the actor and verb remains the same, it's okay to group the activities all at once -- but that seems to complicate things from a publisher's perspective. How do you see a publisher batching activities? Wouldn't the publisher ostensibly need to keep track of each subscriber and then only provide the batch of NEW stuff?
It seems to me that this is why ATOM deals with *atomic* singletons! You just grab the last, say 20 entries and you're done. With batching, it'd be hard to know where to begin and end a batch.
Moving the Goalposts
In the few weeks since I published the first drafts of AtomActivity, ActivitySchema and friends several things have come about: FriendFeed is collapsing multiple photo-related activities together into a single entry in its activity feeds. FriendFeed is using MediaRSS-in-Atom to publish Flickr p...
