I would call this being overly committed to a shake shack lunch.

3G Speed And Reliability Results By City

Percentage of 1-minute performance tests in which service was available, uninterrupted, and faster than dial-up speed:

• Verizon in NYC:  100%
• Sprint in NYC:  90%
• AT&T in NYC:  65%

It doesn’t just *seem* like AT&T only works half the time.

Caffeine amounts in everyday drinks

Here’s a simple side-by-side comparison of common beverages and their caffeine counts in milligrams. I’m sure this chart exists somewhere but I have a 60 second Google rule, I and I couldn’t find it. So I made one.

You are welcome, internet.

Note: these are rough averages. The information out there on caffeine amounts is pretty much all over the place.

Mobile (App) Development: Android's Missed Opportunity?

continuations:

The post on the USV blog about the challenge of creating native mobile apps (meaning ones that can on exist on the mobile platform) has created a lively discussion with by now over 60 comments.  A good chunk of that discussion was about the relative merits of just sticking with the mobile browser versus developing apps.  For instance, Fred observes:

I’m a big fan of the mobile browser too but it does seem like the prevailing delivery package today is the mobile app, not the browser.

That and a conversation yesterday at lunch got me thinking: Why doesn’t Android make the browser an equal citizen for app development?  All that would be needed are some Javascript extensions to give access to the phone capabilities, in particular location, the camera, making calls and cross-app communication (including access to built-in apps such as the address book).

I have in the past written that this would be the best (possibly only) way to beat the iPhone and had been hopeful for the Palm Pre.  But all along in those posts I missed the bigger question.  Why isn’t Google pushing the HTML5/Javascript model for Android?  After all, Google is demonstrating what can be done with Javascript in its mobile version of gmail and I even posted about how that was a good thing for the Pre.  Google is also really showing off the capabilities of HTML5 with Wave.

So does anyone know why Google would not completely embrace Javascript/HTML5 as the app delivery model for Android and pioneer any missing capabilities (such as camera access)?

Many people will look at this and snicker… but why do people insist on painting this as hypocrisy on the part of the right?  “Look who’s talking?” etc…  Perhaps the morality issues are so important to red states, and the political activists in these regions are so empassioned, because they live with the issues and have personal connections to the resulting costs wrought against society.  In otherwords, maybe red state politics arise from the “plight.”

But then the Mark Sanfords come along and feed the flame… oh well… who cares… pregnant teen divorcée porn for all!!!
