  • What We've Learned About Doing UI for mobile web apps with WebKit - 37Signals drops some good insight on what their experiences during design and development for webkit mobile apps. While some of the advice may be obvious it is nice to see it put so succinctly and clearly.
  • Google Has a Secret Fleet of Automated Toyota Priuses - apparently Google really does get into a little bit of everything; including experimenting with creating an automated vehicle that drives itself using a combination of "video cameras, radar sensors, and a laser range finder." Oh, and a ton of data from Google Data Centers / Google Maps. I'm torn on the idea of an automated vehicle; sounds safe and nice but also seems to rip away the biggest appeal of having a car - the freedom and control.
