  • When Patents Attack - This American Life had a great episode last night about patents, patent trolls and the suffocating of innovation through frivolous lawsuits. It's interesting to hear the argument from the perspective of the corporations holding all the cards - saying that they are the ones making sure the patent holders are getting paid; which breeds innovation. It's a great episode, go listen to it now.
  • Faster than $(document).ready() - neat little Javascript function that waits for the existence of a singular div rather than the entire DOM.
  • Facebook iPad App Leaks - lots of screenshots of the new app have leaked and it looks quite nice actually. I'd even go as far as to say that it's better than the actual site.

What is it you're looking for?
