Syndicate (https://redalemeden.com/syndicate/) works similarly well for Safari.

Flickr lets you browse and search CC licensed photos. They also let you do the same for the Commons (public photos, such as those from The Library of Congress) and Getty Images.

I figure if someone's searching for a photo to use on their website, particularly a commercial website, they're not going to browse or search all of Flickr and hope the photos they like are CC licensed — they'll go straight to CC licensed content and pick from those.

Sure, but the insurance excess would only be $0–$2,000.

It's easy to imagine that someone like Osama would be hiding in a cave or like Saddam in a "spider hole", but hiding in populated areas isn't uncommon. Karadzic was also hiding in plain sight in Belgrade and Vienna while on the "run". He had, however, adopted a new identity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest_and_prosecution_of_Radov...

He also does through Readability (http://www.readability.com/). He's an advisor to Readability, Readability's iOS apps are based on the Instapaper iOS apps and Instapaper can be linked with Readability to provide Instapaper activity to Readability so that publishers can be paid. http://www.marco.org/2011/02/01/readabilitys-new-service

Instapaper has an API. There are at least five third-party Instapaper clients for Android available in the Marketplace. http://www.quora.com/Whats-the-best-client-for-Instapaper-on...

It's sIFR[1]. It was one of the more popular techniques for embedding custom fonts into pages, before CSS-based web fonts. It should degrade gracefully without Flash; it does for me, using ClickToFlash with Safari.

There are plenty of non-native deciduous trees in Australian cities and suburbs too.

I've always liked Isobar's standard [1], which is a bit more detailed in some areas, like image formats. A read through HTML5 Boilerplate's [2] documentation is a good introduction to a few best practices too and it makes a good starting.

He's referring to Friend Lists (https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=768). If you use Twitter, it's like Twitter's lists.

Facebook's privacy settings are now pretty good. You can make things visible or invisible to everyone, networks, friends of friends, friends, friend lists or individuals and any combination of these things, e.g. a status update visible only to family except my mother.

Check out Lingon [1] for a nice front-end to launchd to modify its start-up items. It lets you quickly schedule items, such as bash scripts, in launchd too.

I thought that ease of distribution through things like Steam and the App Store would be the big changer for indie games. I know I wouldn't have bought Peggle and many other indie games if it weren't for Steam.

It doesn't help the big players that a lot of the big games are franchises (what's the difference between Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops?) that are nickle-and-diming players through Xbox Live and PSN. It costs more to buy a few hours of new content in Fallout: New Vegas than it would to buy many indie games.
