puffythefish··on A Unix Utility You Should Know About: Pipe Viewer
Has anyone had any luck getting this to compile for OS X (Leopard)? make seems to fail on an error for me.
puffythefish··on Eric Schmidt wishes Google could save newspapers
I don't understand why this matters. Can't the newspaper companies just publish their stories online? Does it really matter whether I read the content in the paper or online? Honestly this seems like a good thing; we're saving resources and moving to a new media. Am I missing something?
puffythefish··on Apple kills off DRM for whole iTunes music catalog
Is there a way to just "upgrade" certain songs instead of your entire library?
puffythefish··on Steve Jobs speaks out about his health
I've read that Steve Jobs is a pescetarian, which in general is much healthier than being a vegan (it is much easier to get essential nutrients such as B vitamins with fish). Here's one source: http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Steve_Jobs_-_Personal_li...

In the fourth paragraph: "Jobs is a pescetarian (not a vegetarian or vegan as is often claimed) — although he does not eat mammalian meat, he reportedly eats fish from time to time."

I agree, the design for these pages are all excellent.
puffythefish··on The Yawn Explained: It Cools Your Brain
"And why didn't they study humans?"

"He and colleagues Michael Miller and Anne Clark analyzed yawning in parakeets as representative vertebrates because the birds have relatively large brains, live wild in Australia, which is subject to frequent temperature swings, and, most importantly, do not engage in contagious yawning, as humans and some other animals do."

Are they going to come out with a Mac version first?
puffythefish··on Browser Page Load Performance
Actually there's a beta release of Safari 4 for ADC members. I'm running it right now: http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/4453/safari4pq3.png (I changed the icon)
puffythefish··on LaTeX vs. Word vs. Writer
If it's just a single menu command you can just use the standard way of doing it for an app on OS X: Open System Preferences, go to the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane, click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab, click on the plus and fill out the form to add your shortcut (remember that Menu Title should be the exact title of the menu item, including any ellipses(…)).
puffythefish··on ICombinator - Hacker News for the iPhone
Thanks, I've been looking for something like this!

I just have one gripe: http://icombinator.net (without the www) doesn't work.

Other than that it's perfect

puffythefish··on Early build of iPhone 2.2 OS has new Safari, no copy & paste or Push Notification
"With the new layout, users will have one-click access to search rather than two-click"

Umm... doesn't the search already work with just one click? (well tap really)
