Path Does the Right Thing
We believe you should have control when it comes to sharing your personal information. We also believe that actions speak louder than words. So, as a clear signal of our commitment to your privacy, we’ve deleted the entire collection of user uploaded contact information from our servers. Your trust matters to us and we want you to feel completely in control of your information on Path.
Tweetbot for iPad Released
Holy moly, this app is awesome. Be sure to check out Federico’s review. There’s a certain Memphis-based blog featured in a ton of the screenshots.

Firmware Update Brings Internet Recovery to 2010 Models
Earlier today Apple published two EFI Firmware updates for its iMac, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro lines. The updates, available through Software Update or Apple’s website, bring Lion Internet Recovery to more Mac models from 2010 — the mid 2010 iMac, late 2010 MacBook Air, and early 2010 MacBook Pro.
Cool.
NoMoreiTunes
NoMoreiTunes is an extension for Safari 5 that stops iTunes Web Preview pages and other links to the iTunes store from automatically launching iTunes on your Mac. On top of that it shows a familiar looking bar on the top edge of the browser viewport which informs you that the plugin has worked and let‘s you launch iTunes when you need it.
This is might be my favorite Safari plug-in. It doesn’t do a lot, but it scratches me right where I had an itch.
Path Uploads Address Book Data [Updated]
Not cool, Path. Not cool at all. Update: Path CEO Dave Morin, in a comment on that post:
We upload the address book to our servers in order to help the user find and connect to their friends and family on Path quickly and efficiently as well as to notify them when friends and family join Path. Nothing more.
We believe that this type of friend finding & matching is important to the industry and that it is important that users clearly understand it, so we proactively rolled out an opt-in for this on our Android client a few weeks ago and are rolling out the opt-in for this in 2.0.6 of our iOS Client, pending App Store approval.
The HoverBar
This is yet another cool accessory from Twelve South. If you use your iPad as some sort of dashboard throughout the day, I can see this being very helpful. That said, though, entering text or even tapping on the iPad in this thing seems like it’d get super tiring super quickly.

Well, this a room full of sadness.

On the iPad as a Personal Computer
The definition of a personal computer sounds like it hasn’t changed since the eighties. Though I was born in 1988, I can tell you that in the last ten years alone the personal computer has completely changed beyond all recognition.
When Apple released the iPad, I would argue that it actually released the first, truly personal, computer.
I think history will honor Mr. Lucy’s opinion.
