I might’ve linked to this already. Before my link of the day feature. If you haven’t seen it, then check it out: Google Mars!
iPhone kills Flash dead
Here’s an interesting link to understanding why running flash on iPhone sucks.
For all you stupid people complaining about Flash support on iPhone. The number one reason is that Flash is a performance pig. You may not feel it with an octocore Intel Mac, or whatever the latest is for Windows, but it cripples older computers like no ones business. On my PPC Macs, the performance meter is spiked. On my PC in the lab at work, a four year old Dell, it spikes the task manager. Flash is just the suck.
Hopefully, once everyone has iPhone, Flash will go the way of RealMedia — a dinosaur in the days of mammals. Suck it Adobe!

I think I love reading manga better than watching anime.
For today anyway.
I’m on the lookout for sights that can point out some good manga. I know the genres. I just don’t know what’s good, worth spending my money on, worth reading, or worth getting wrapped up around.

Fat War in Japan!
Well not exactly.
It looks like they want to get their populace to slim down. Perhaps it’s all the rice that they eat. I wonder if we can do that in the States?

I’ve been picking up PiQ magazine to get some American flavor with my anime news. Unfortunately, they’re going out of business after this last issue. Here’s a perspective from one of their writers.

I’m tracking you as you surf this site. Sorry. Big brother is here.
But over the weekend statcounter went down. If you visited this site at the time, you would’ve had to have waited until the request for the statcounter badge timed out before you saw any content. Sorry again.
Those guys at statcounter also are sorry. And they’ll tell you how it happened. Blow by blow and in excruciating technical detail. Hunh? Whatever! But it’s good to know that they don’t keep you in the dark.
They’ll make amends next time.
