Unless it reformatted the page, returning only the textual content. With the maximum size of an MMS being around 100kb (depends on the operator), this is a lot of text.

You could fetch a number of pages at once and read the response even on a feature phone. This can also be combined with a web interface to bundle pages or feeds together and associate them with a shortcode.

And buy an iPad.

And yet we are discussing this on a site that uses tables for layout and <font> for styling. I also enjoy beautiful markup, but outside the web development community nobody cares. What is important is that it looks good. After all, people are still impressed by flashy animations.

Sometimes I wonder if aligning our values with those of ordinary people wouldn't yield better results than thinking up uses for the <aside> tag.

Would someone care to explain how is this fundamentally different from the Firesheep experiment a few months back, which was heavily applauded by the community here?

This reminds me of a book I read a few years ago - Mind Hacks [1]. It discussed all kinds of interesting mechanisms that our brains use to fool us into thinking that we are always aware of our environment.

In the eye chapter, there was an interesting side-effect of the saccade movement - the "broken watch". This is when your brain fools you into thinking that the picture you see after a saccade has been the same during the movement itself. When you look at your watch and your timing is just right, you will be left with the impression that the seconds arm stays fixed for longer than it should.

I highly recommend the book - it really demonstrates our inner-machinery.

You do know that there is a special place in hell for ABP users?

On a serious note, I've also pulled out my hair waiting for TechCrunch to load. My solution is to hit Esc as soon as the main content is loaded (or use RSS instead).

You can't imagine how right you are. Tribes like this do not exist officially. Loggers would not hesitate to wipe them off - problems solved, no questions asked.

What is more troublesome, is that nobody knows how often this has happened in the past.

I actually think he accented on "2003" and not on "big money".

Anyway, I would suggest that you create a facebook application to go with the website, you could get quite a following.

I agree with you, but here is something to keep in mind:

It could be that the fact they donate all their profits to teaching children, might be sole reason why this cafe is profitable in the first place.

If this was run as a regular business, people would not have such an incentive go there. The same goes for a non-profit which has a goal that is not plainly visible.

Absolutely agree. Making extensions for chrome is pure pleasure compared to Firefox. I think Google has a good strategy here..

Hello Nathan, and thank you for the comment.

Actually the “off by one” bug is by design – it looks empty when the value of the dial is zero and the colorful ring around it is completely gone (and given it is midnight it would stay like this for an hour).

However you are free to change it – you’ll just need to change the line above from:

    var angle = (360/total)*(current+1); 

To something like this:

    var angle = (360/(total-1))*current;
