Henry Cavill is the next Superman →
Looks like future Superman director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen) has found his Clark Kent in British actor Henry Cavill. After Christian Bale was picked as the most recent Batman, Cavill makes it two for two for the British takeover of America’s best known comic-book heroes. Cavill will star in the reboot of the Superman franchise set for release in 2012.

The iPad’s not mobile. It’s a computer.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg
We need to make a tablet version of Facebook.
Facebook CTO Bret Taylor
Clearly the two are in agreement about customizing Facebook for different platforms.

URL Shorteners
The Jakarta Globe today this week introduced its own shortened URL to help identify and track links that goes to its stories from Twitter.
I’m a huge fan of custom URLs because it tells you where your link goes. While shorteners like goo.gl, bit.ly and tinyurl are fine for the general public, these private, branded ones like aol.it, tcrn.ch, engt.co, on.mash.to and jglo.be are much better...
Misdirected email of the day
Getting a Faculty Workload feedback form from a university I don’t even work for can be quite amusing. Just so happens that I’ve got friends working there as lecturers.

Tumblr Pet Peeve
It bothers me that Tumblr forces you to go back to page one of your Dashboard to post stuff that’s not a reblog of what’s on that page. Why not have the post options on every page of the Dashboard? It can be on top, on the side, from a drop down menu, or whatever. After posting, it should have an option to send you back to where you were on your Dashboard before posting, to your post,...

Merlin Mann wins the internet with 23 toots
At the risk of irony and meta, I’m posting @hotdogsladies’ 23 tweets about the serial tweeting of subjects which may have made great blog posts. Since the BlackBird Pie hack doesn’t work on Tumblr (it gets messy), here goes (remember, these were on 23 individual tweets)
Feature request:

where somebody has twenty-three toots in a row,

Introducing The iCard →
parislemon:
Not surprising to hear that NFC is coming to the iPhone given that this is already built into the Nexus S. But good to hear nonetheless.
Interesting that it’s said to be built into the iPad 2 as well…
They key here is it being tied into your iTunes account (or some variation). That would be beyond a massive win for both NFC and Apple.
Imagine if they could get a cut of all those...

“the Microsoft of 2011 doesn’t compete effectively with the Apple of 2007”
– Paul Thurrot compared the first three months of Windows Phone 7 to the iPhone’s first three months back in 2007. Microsoft has publicly released nothing in three months to improve WP7 while Apple from August to October 2007 had released bug and security fixes, new features and new services for...

iPhone alarm didn't ring on New Year's Day?
Kris: iPhone alarm bug on New Year Eve? Sounds weird.
Me: no it doesn't because it didn't ring. ;)
Kris: LOL. Just to sign that this "Hey, happy new year. I'm not ringing coz.. You know, it's new year!" reason? :D
Me: ya iya lah, either you're still awake from overnight partying or you're so tired you don't wanna wake up. Fixes itself on Jan 3rd.
Kris: Well, people should stop calling it as a bug. I propose something more fancy: It's a feature.
Me: I'm surprised nobody picked up this angle when they reported in yesterday. LOL. Apple is looking after your afterparty needs.
