cpoteet asked: I wondered if in the next versionof the iPhone app for Tumblr you'll use their new dashboard API to create a native iPhone dashboard instead of the web based one it currently uses. Also, can you add native reblogging (goes to native posting screen) and a bookmarklet for posting from Safari?

• The native dashboard API was announced a few weeks ago so I will be evaluating the right way to pull it off (it’s not as straight forward as Twitter).
• Native reblogging will be coming as soon as there’s an API for it.
• There’s already a link bookmarklet if you are interested (I plan on expanding it in the next release). Drop this on your iPhone to send links: Send to Tumblr.

MetaLab Goes Open Source? →

The MetaLab blog:

I don’t understand why companies think that they can get away with doing this. The internet is a surprisingly small place, and we were notified almost immediately. We’ve all had a good chuckle about this, but we’ve contacted Mozilla and demanded that they take the design down. I’d expect better from a respectable company like Mozilla. It’s one thing when a student or fledgling company does something like this, but Mozilla is a big company with the resources to create original design.

In the meantime, let Mozilla know this isn’t okay. Tweet at @MozillaNews or leave a comment over on HackerNews.

… We’ve asked for a public apology, and I’ll be doing a follow-up post tomorrow.

Note to plagiarizers: don’t fuck with MetaLab.

If real life imitated creative work.

It’s official. No one is safe from the indulgant, ham-handed, false-sense-of-class styling of Zapfino.

If I could have one superpower it would be to stay as excited about a project in the last 30% as I am while concepting it.

You?

The Real Reason That There’s No Flash On The iPad

Daniel Eran Dilger:

Many (if not most) current Flash games, menus, and even video players require a visible mouse pointer. They are coded to rely on the difference between hovering over something (mouseover) vs. actually clicking. This distinction is not rare. It’s pervasive, fundamental to interactive design, and vital to the basic use of Flash content. New Flash content designed just for touchscreens can be done, but people want existing Flash sites to work. All of them—not just some here and there—and in a usable manner. That’s impossible no matter what.

Horn toot: this is the primary reason I’ve been giving folks that ask me why I think there’s no Flash on the iPhone/iPod/iPad.

The interface constructs of touch computing are entirely different from mousing. This is why there will never be Flash on an iPhone OS device. Flash was written for mouse-based interaction. It’s the same reason Mac OS X apps don’t run on the iPhone. Even the holy grail of Flash video content sites, Hulu, requires hover to display video controls.

Switch to a better task manager. @done.
