tcolliers··on Fluid: A UI Prototyping Tool
This is quite good.

One thing this is lacking for me is a way to display page hierarchy or flow through the application. Just being able to connect pages with lines or arrows would be great. Or as a bonus it would be nice to be able to connect page elements to pages or elements on other pages.

tcolliers··on Nokia Projects Disastrous Losses as Shares Plunge 17%
I agree. I've been using the N9 since its release and I think Meego is very close to being consumer-ready. Great UI, fast, stable, great built-in software. Some built-in software lacks some features, it doesn't quite have the tweakability Maemo had and there are a few bugs and shortcomings here and there. But considering the small market the N9 was deployed in, one can only wonder what it could have been if it had gotten more attention from Nokia.

I was an N900 user before that. I hoped Nokia would be a shining beacon in the mobile space, with an open operating system and a more GNU/Linux software stack than just the kernel. But those hopes were shattered by Elop's turn. I guess Microsoft will continue to drive Nokia's market price further into the ground so they can buy them for a few pennies.

tcolliers··on Facebook autobot going berserker
We've had similar problems. We have a variety of apps running stuff like posting scores to profiles. Recently we've had some apps disabled by what looks like automated bots. We asked for an explanation every time and only got a few vague template answers and a link to the policies. A colleague of mine got banned from the developer app. He can't create new apps anymore and can't reach a Facebook employee to correct it.

Facebook loves being invisible.
