A collection of fees beyond your ticket for each airline, from checked bags to snacks to onboard wifi. As the article says, no one's charging to use the lavatory. Yet.

Andy Chung's typeface Neighbourhood is "an ultra simple sans serif text(ish) face with a large set of alternates which when combined with the regular characters create a new graphic display look."

A complete list of all the Twitter accounts the Borg operate. Looks like there's one for each Google product except, oddly enough, Gmail.

Manjoo's argument is that the pervasive search box in browser windows nearly renders the vanity domain unnecessary. I'm still not giving up retrophis.ch.

The key words in this article are "adult size". (If you listen closely, you can hear my inner geek squeal with glee.)

Duct tape on the moon. Duct tape on the moon. Duct tape on the MOON. Used for actual repairs. Is this not the greatest invention in our solar system or what?

Derrick Story: "At first glance, the recently announced Olympus E-P1 digital camera looks like a classic rangefinder from the film era. But in fact, the camera has much in common with a modern digital SLR, including interchangeable lenses, a 12.3-megapixel image sensor, and even support for Raw and 720p video recording. As a bonus, it comes neatly packaged in a body closer to the size of a compact point-and-shoot."
I am *very* pleased with my recent point-and-shoot purchase, but this indeed looks like the type of camera to fill the role between point-and-shoot and full-blown SLR.

I cannot express how badly my technolust has been inflamed by this product.
(Yes, even with the six grand price tag. Though I think I'd prefer a 500 GB 7200rpm hard drive over the 256 GB solid state drive.)
Only ten will be produced.

They're not talking about fun games. Rather, "how office politics sabotage the workplace".
I have seen many examples of some of the games mentioned here, both in a Fortune 100 company and in a medium-sized business.

This is a handy app which allows you to specify what you want your Mac to do when you attach photo-capable devices. For instance, you may want iPhoto to open when you connect your iPhone or point-and-shoot digital camera, but Aperture or Lightroom to launch when you attach your dSLR. Or maybe you don’t want iPhoto to launch when you connect your iPhone. You just tell Cameras what you want to happen.
