Stitcher, the personalized streaming radio service, is releasing its native iPhone application in a limited private beta. The first 100 TechCrunch readers to submit their email addresses here will be eligible to participate. Note that you’ll have to submit your iPhone’s serial number, which is required by Apple’s Ad Hoc beta program (as is the 100 user limit).
Stitcher can best be described as Pandora for everything but music, allowing users to compile a playlist of audio fe Aug. 8, 2008 04:06 PM | Edah Haredit promotes ‘anti-donor’ card | Israel | Jerusalem Post — This group of ultra-Orthodox anti-social Jews will not pay taxes to Israel, will not vote, will not fight. They actually hate Israel from what I can tell although they live there. There is a decent run-down here.
In the coming days, the Edah Haredit, [...] Aug. 8, 2008 03:49 PM | If you have an unlocked iPhone (and there are plenty kicking about on EBay) then you are probably still locked into the O2 network in the UK as I have not seen an unlocker that actually unlocks the carrier for the UK phone yet. If you buy and O2 pay and go card you are going to be disappointed when you find that you still cannot access the internet. An ordinary Pay and Go will not work alone - you need the specific O2 Iphone Web and Wi Fi add-on. This costs £ Aug. 8, 2008 12:12 PM | I was thinking about Vista yesterday when I was working on my Asus Eee PC, getting it ready to be my media workstation during the Democratic Convention later this month.
I was having a bunch of problems with XP, one of which was related to the fact that it came of age before wifi did. The helptext and troubleshooting guide that's built into the system make no mention of wireless configuration, beyond a confusing wizard that creates a wireless network that emanates from my computer (I think that Aug. 8, 2008 09:49 AM | Slow motion lightning
This explanation comes from Lenski the comments section of the Huffington Post where I found the video:
The search for a path proceeds through the treelike process that shows early in the video, finding the thin trails that are of somewhat lower resistance than clear air. Basically, a slightly higher density dust particles or raindrops allows enough current to flow to keep looking for more path. These tendrils of ionization last a little while, long enough to present a tem Aug. 8, 2008 09:19 AM | About a year ago, Lee Brimelow and I released a simple application named flump that would download all of the images from a flickr account. We made this so we could download all of the webcam images from the bus tour, and put together a time lapsed video (you can view some of that video here).
The original version worked on the beta 1 release of Adobe AIR, and did not work on the release version. I have just uploaded a new version which works on AIR 1.1 and adds a couple of new features and fix Aug. 7, 2008 07:05 PM | This is a great analysis of how a rug merchant in Turkey applied the principles of Robert Cialdini. Do you think he read Influence or Yes!? You must read this story if you're into persuasiveness.

Aug. 6, 2008 10:26 AM | Michael Wesch is one of my personal heroes. Beginning with “The Machine Is Us/Ing Us,” he’s brought a fresh, thoughtful perspective to the social media that are (re)shaping our lives. His “A Vision of Students Today” is the strongest critique of the educational system you’ll ever see in under 5 minutes.
I had the fortune of meeting Michael when he spoke at IDEA 2007. He’s a warm, smart, passionate guy, and was readily able to contribute to the discussion Aug. 5, 2008 10:45 AM | Forrester's Carey Schwaber recently wrote a nice post on the typical obstacles that application developers face, The "If Onlies" of App Dev. For example, if only “requirements were complete” or “there were enough time to test at the end of the life cycle" or "we weren’t constrained by legacy" among others. Using a transportation metaphor, Carey then suggests that changing the vehicle through approaches such as SOA and Agile processes can negate the problems Aug. 5, 2008 07:35 AM | Well here’s an interesting post from someone at PWC consulting.

The way he’s presenting it, he appears to have seen to beginnings of an IT nirvana by linking business intelligence, rules and process management together to create a whole new “intelligent business process platform”, although it takes a “heroic effort” - no doubt through extensive services.
He also says that “enterpri Aug. 4, 2008 03:03 PM | And I mean that quite literally as the temperature in Vegas since I arrived has been over 105F!

(via Chris Dixon) Aug. 1, 2008 12:05 PM | Earlier this week on Javalobby, I posted an extract from our monthly newsletter regarding our analysis of the ‘missing braces in If Statement’ rule firing and the potential bug involved.
If you omit braces and use Static Analysis tools it is a problem actually finding these bugs. Why? Because you probably have the rule turned off!
Having any tool tell you of violations in your code purely due to a stylistic preference will result in thousands of false positives and eventually demotivate the Aug. 1, 2008 10:46 AM | Breaking News: The NASA Phoenix lander reported via Twitter that they have a confirmed find of water on Mars. A soil sample containing ice was heated up in the internal TEGA oven and H2O vapors were confirmed. Newsmedia are starting to cover the find as we speak. More social media mentions can be found via TechMeme.
Aug. 1, 2008 08:30 AM | The new iPhone 3G and the iPhone 2.0 software update can best be described as the most successful failure I can remember. Apple has sold an astounding number of phones and applications, and yet is failing in so many different ways:
MobileMe: A terribly bungled deployment that is still suffering through issues of data integrity and push between the desktop and the iPhone is not what users expect.
