- Opera Hires Jon Hicks ★

Smart move for Opera.
- Dan Benjamin Compares the Kodak Zi6 to the Flip Ultra ★
-
Dan Benjamin:
[…] the Flip seems to somehow be specially tuned in to the human vocal range. Dialog seems to pop out over background noise in a pleasing way, and there’s virtually no bleed-through of environmental noise such as wind or water.
I’ve got both the Zi6 and Flip Ultra, and I agree with Dan that the audio advantages to the Flip might be the single biggest “little thing” advantage to the Flip.
- Memeorandum Colors: Visualizing Political Bias With Greasemonkey ★
-
Very clever hack from Andy Baio and Joshua Schachter. This would be a terrific feature to build into Memeorandum itself.
- Sketches ★
-
My thanks to LateNiteSoft for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed. Their iPhone drawing app Sketches is a ton of fun and very well-designed. You can use it for everything from doodling to annotating photographs — just drag your finger to draw or add shapes and text. Sketches has extensive export options, undo support, and it costs just $5.

-
Reuters:
“RIM is a massive strategic fit” for Microsoft, said Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek. “I’m fairly certain they have a standing offer to buy them at $50 (a share).”
Whereby “massive strategic fit”, he means “would signal a complete abandonment of their decade-long Windows Mobile strategy”.
