quadrant··on Facebook Shows There's a Sucker Born Every Minute
Somewhat revisionist it seems from the WSJ, I can't recall any point in the lead up to IPO that they published anything that alluded to problems on the near horizon.

Not quite, just negative numbers when the task is set to 3 or 5 days as week.
quadrant··on Show HN: Habit List - my first iOS app
Loving the app, but all of a sudden today one of my streaks went to -4 and another -2 even though I've only been using it for 48 hours... I'll send in an email with details.
quadrant··on Facebook now informs the sender if you've read their message
A SpySpace style add on for Facebook (a hacked together java/action/?script exploiting piece of code that trapped users viewing your page, their ip, clipboard, etc) would net Facebook a large chunk of revenue as an add on feature.

I loved having SpySpace installed, certainly made MySpace, and trolling friends based off the contents of their clipboards, a whole lot of (somewhat nebulous) fun.

quadrant··on Apple and Valve: Could frenemies really team up?
Well, if Apple want to win the [OS/hardware/whatever] war then all they need to do spend a chunk of their cash stockpile and ensure that Episode 3 launches on OSX first.

Or more seriously, if Valve wanted a hardware partner then why wouldn't they work with Apple?

quadrant··on Reading Database Execution Plans (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server)
Handy summary. I liked the quick test (4/5) more though!
quadrant··on Learn to read the source, Luke
