Podcast
The Software Distribution Generation Gap (33:03 minutes)
"Software vendors are so focused on building the next great application
and on features and functions in that application that they've lost
sight of what really matters, which is making sure that the application
that you build gets used, gets in the hands of the users, and that they
get their work done," said Embarcadero CEO Wayne Williams.

Today's Story Highlights

Nokia May Turn Tattoos Into More Than Body Art
Today a tattoo is a popular way of showing off a little individuality,
but historically tattoos were used as a form of communication. Roman
soldiers and slaves were tattooed on the hands, arms or even face as a
way to alert those around them to their status, allowing authorities to
more easily keep track of those in bondage. Soon tattoos might be used
for communication again -- but for a very different purpose.

Big Biker Hangout: The Web
When biker Robert Swidersky learned about BikerOrNot.com from his son a
few years ago, he decided he'd give it a shot. "The more I used it, the
more I found things I liked," said Swidersky. "I was informed about
rides and events around me, and I could also inform others about rides
and events, meet people, and create a fan page as to where I can share
my hobbies or interests, or join other peoples' fan pages."

Linux Throws a Bit of Android Into 3.3 Kernel
Linus Torvalds, the father of Linux, announced version 3.3 of the kernel
Sunday. Among the most noteworthy changes found in 3.3 is the merging of
kernel code from the Android project. Linux 3.3 also includes support
for a new architecture, the Texas Instruments VelociTI Very Long
Instruction Word architecture used in its C6x family of multicore
devices.

Sparrow Flies but Doesn't Quite Sing
How awful is the iPhone's native Mail app? My opinion: It's not awful at
all. It isn't exactly a bright and shining paragon of mobile app
awesomeness either, I suppose, and it hasn't changed a great deal since
I first started using iOS regularly nearly four years ago. But it's a
workhorse. It's simple, it does its job, there are no astoundingly bad
design decisions, and I'm just accustomed to using it, warts and all.

AT&T Flails in the Quicksand
The name of AT&T's pain, for this month anyway, is Matthew Spaccarelli.
He's a customer that gave the carrier a small thumping in court, and
that would have left AT&T with a very minor scab. But it seems the
company just couldn't resist picking at it. It all started when
Spaccarelli took AT&T to small-claims court over his smartphone data
rate being throttled.
