   if you think people using iPhone OS devices are an important segment of your intended audience, you can no longer build a Flash-dependent web site. (And if you don’t think people using iPhone OS devices are an important segment of your intended audience, you’re probably wrong.) ^{link »}

3. Daring Fireball Linked List: 'The Gadget Disappears'

   One thing you have to understand about this gadget is that the gadget disappears pretty quickly. You’re looking into pure software. ^{link »}

   On Android, many things happens on screen with touch, but many other things don’t, and you’re often leaving the screen for the hardware Back, Menu, and Home buttons, and text selection and editing requires the use of the fiddly trackball. An Android gadget never disappears. ^{link »}

4. Daring Fireball: Who Can Do Something About Those Blue Boxes?

   Web site producers tend to be practical. Those that use Flash do so not because they’re Flash proponents, but because Flash is easy and ubiquitous. ^{link »}

   Used to be you could argue that Flash, whatever its merits, delivered content to the entire audience you cared about. That’s no longer true, and Adobe’s Flash penetration is shrinking with each iPhone OS device Apple sells. ^{link »}

   What’s Hulu going to do? Sit there and wait? Whine about the blue boxes? Or do the practical thing and write software that delivers video to iPhone OS? ^{link »}

   Hulu isn’t a Flash site, it’s a video site. ^{link »}

5. Daring Fireball: A Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching URLs

   \b(([\w-]+://?|www[.])[^\s()<>]+(?:\([\w\d]+\)|([^[:punct:]\s]|/))) ^{link »}

   This pattern attempts to be practical. It makes no attempt to parse URLs according to any official specification. It isn’t limited to predefined URL protocols. It should be clever about things like parentheses and trailing punctuation. ^{link »}

   Don’t ask me to use another domain name for the shortened URLs. If no one uses IDN domain names , what will motivate developers to fix (or work around ) IDN bugs?) ^{link »}

   The argument that you can make iPhone web apps that are “good enough” misses the entire point of iPhone apps — the entire point of the iPhone itself, even — all of the things that drive Twitter users to pay $3, $4, or $5 for apps that do the same things that can be done for free by loading Twitter’s web site in MobileSafari. “Good enough” is not good enough on the iPhone. ^{link »}

    What if the reason why most PCs are still running XP has nothing to do with whether Vista is “good” or “bad” ^{link »}

    the idea that Windows 7’s quality will spur upgrades from XP is predicated on the fact that the people holding out on XP make their computing choices based on quality. But if that’s the case, why exactly are they still running Windows XP? Why are they still using Internet Explorer? ^{link »}
