People will fight you almost literally to the death over their right to be entertained, and to entertain others."

I agree that cutesy error messages are irritating. I'd rather see a more serious "we're on it" notice.

"Like a service? Make them charge you or show you ads. If they won't do it, clone them and do it yourself. Soon you'll be the only game in town!" This is both absolutely true and heartbreaking.

"I hope publishers will see that conscious sharing is better than passive sharing, and that content delivery is better than app delivery." Me too. Quantity of traffic beats quality in many people's minds so I'm not optimistic.

Hello Brightness shortcut icon! This is great.

ThinkUp and Software with Purpose.)

Nice collection of designs patterns and examples for mobile devices.
