Was just presented in the Google Chrome [web store/ Chrome OS] press conference. Webcast: http://www.youtube.com/googlec... - Philipp Lenssen

"My comrade," he said, "forgive my amusement, but it is so complicated to censor a website in your country! You need to pressure storage providers, domain name services, associated payment systems, you need to send fake copyright infringement letters to search engines, give convincing press statements and more. Why, where I am from, we have a central secret database of blacklisted websites... whenever I want to block a site, I just add the address of it to our system and click 'block'!" - Philipp Lenssen

I'm asking 'cause whenever I quickly check in to Gmail and select some messages as spam and then hit close on the window, I get a warning box that some operations are still pending, that limited last-chance page-close dialog JS developers can grasp to. (What's worse, during the time this box is open, apparently no new work gets done in the background (?).) If I close anyway -- because I don't want to stare at my email client doing quiet ajax in the background -- then my messages won't be correctly flagged by my last action. (Or should Gmail memorize my last action in a cookie/ localstorage in case I close quickly?) - Philipp Lenssen

"Shoppers at Walmart will soon have something other than glossy magazines and chewing gum to look at when in the checkout line: A "video message" from the Department of Homeland Security asking them to look out for "suspicious" activity and report it immediately." - Philipp Lenssen

Straight out of the book. - Philipp Lenssen

"Early in my career I used a camera to help give me the animals' perspective as they walked through a chute for their veterinary treatment. I would kneel down and take pictures through the chute from the cow's eye level. Using the photos, I was able to figure out which things scared the cattle, such as shadows and bright spots of sunlight." - http://www.grandin.com/inc... - Philipp Lenssen

"I once had a programmer silently and unexpectedly walk out of a job interview, not because he was pissed off, but simply because he felt the interview was satisfactorily complete." - http://hossgifford.com/autism-... - Philipp Lenssen

The YouTube comments to this one are pretty funny. "OMG, NEXUS S shoes !" - Philipp Lenssen

The size is in-between the iPhone and the iPad. The OS is a little rough around the edges and nothing feels as smooth as iOS (animations, icons, buttons etc.), and unfortunately apps from the app store can't be zoomed in like the iOS allows you too. Not only does this mean you'll get smaller game resolutions, but also, that the controls will be awkwardly moved to places harder to reach. - Philipp Lenssen

Generally the size of the Galaxy is a bit odd; the iPhone fits in the pocket, the iPad fits in a bag, whereas the Galaxy doesn't fit into small pockets yet also doesn't use the full room of a bag. If you were to carry a bag anyway, the iPad is the nicer alternative. Still, the Galaxy fits into certain jackets, and is of very great size for gaming. If only they'd allow you to zoom in on Android apps, they'd have a terrific gaming device. Perhaps this goes to show that when OS maker and Hardware maker aren't one, the result can't take a perfect/ holistic approach, and will have some usability fails... like this very important one. Maybe an update to Android that allows zooming in (or is there such a feature already?) would solve this? - Philipp Lenssen

First 3 friendfeeders who ask me for a promo code in the comments will get one :) - Philipp Lenssen

I am not a huge comic/Spider-Man fan, but after one week I guess it's fair to ask for a promo code! :) (thanks!) - milivella

One of the over 600 questions is: "You get to remove one object from earth. What object will it be?" - Philipp Lenssen

My friend and I released this today and are looking for feedback & players - Philipp Lenssen
