Geeze, what I do for this site suddenly seems super, super boring.

The Declaration of Independence⇢
Every time I come across it, I’m surprised how much anger and resolve are in this document.
Overthinking⇢
Gruber:
I bet Apple could make a $199 iPad Mini and turn a profit on it — especially with a $249 version sitting next to it with double the storage. It’s that simple. If Apple thinks people would buy a smaller cheaper iPad and that they could turn a profit making them, they’ll do it. No reason to overthink it.
Yet, I can’t stop overthinking it. I’m just not sold on where a product like this would fit. Who is it for? What makes it better than the iPod touch or 9.7-inch iPad?
More on Linking⇢
Marco:
If you’re truly providing value, you should have the confidence to send your audience away, knowing that they’ll come back to you. If that’s not the case, don’t bother publishing.
Why Thunderbolt Cables Are Expensive⇢
Mmmm, silicon germanium.
The 512 Podcast, Episode 20: ‘Tiny Pockets’⇢
This week on the 512 Podcast, Myke and I talk about the Nexus 7, the $200 device market, linked lists and we begin our discussion of the history of the iPod.
Stop Not Linking⇢
Matthew Panzarino:
The practice of dancing around attributing sources by either not linking them or by linking them only in a special ‘sources’ area tucked away at the bottom of a post drives me nuts.
Before I switched to DF-style linked lists, I always strived to put my source as high in my story as possible. I hope the change makes my sources even more obvious.
Brett Kelly Interviewed by MacStories⇢
Two of my favorite nerds sat down for a chat. Instapaper-worthy, for sure.
Nexus 7 Gets iFixIt’d⇢

“That’s no moon. It’s a corporate intranet!”
… 6 months later …
“I felt a great disturbance in our company – as if hundreds of employees cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.”
Your intranet doesn’t have to suck. At Igloo, we built a new intranet platform that combines social technologies with document management in a beautiful, usable digital workplace.
Visiting the Skywalker Home⇢
This sort of thing doesn’t exist anymore, in our CGI world.
The $200 Device
For $200 this holiday season, what are you more likely to buy?
- The Kindle Fire
- The Google Nexus 7
- The iPod touch
It’s easy to conclude that the Nexus 7 is about Google beating Amazon, but even in the $200 market, Apple’s a contender.
