Gloss & Gradients: This Race Is Far From Over — an in-Depth Look at the Potential of webOS in a Rapidly Changing Mobile Market →
At this very moment, there are three devices on my desk running what I consider to be the most competitive mobile operating systems: an Apple iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.1, a Samsung Nexus S running Android 2.3 (“Gingerbread”), and a Palm Pre 2 running webOS 2.0.1. While the Nexus S may be what one…
Field Notes Theme: Customizing the Field Notes Theme →
I didn’t just want to put a theme out there and expect that everyone was going to be able to customize it just how they wanted to. I also didn’t want to assume that most people just go right into adding widgets and links and don’t care how they end up looking on the site.
For these reasons, I…
‘Fuck off Harrods’ done by a disgruntled employee, fired by Harrods from his job as the toy department’s Father Christmas, took revenge last night in spectacular style.
Gaining access to a maintenance control room, Lloyd Hudson, 35, from Ilford, Essex, was able to locate the chart and corresponding switches for Harrods’ 10,000 external lights.
Barracading himself in, Hudson disabled the correct lights until he could spell out his feelings to Harrods bosses and Christmas shoppers alike. He was removed by security guards after an hour-long stand-off, then handed over to police.
“He had drunk the best part of two bottles of whisky,” said a spokesperson for the iconic London store, “and it’s that kind of behaviour that got him the sack in the first place.” Hudson has since been released on police bail.
Knightsbridge visitors were stunned.
“Honestly, I am disgusted, ” said Irene Rider, 59, from Gary, Indiana. “I was with my grandchildren. We had just gotten off the bus. I said ‘look everybody’ and pointed up to the lights – but you know what the lights said? They said f**k off. And that is not an appropriate message for a child. At least not at Christmas time.”

National Good Day DayThis is top-shelf blogging.
FOOTAGE. Woman arrested at Citibank 555 Laguardia (around West 3rd/Bleeker). She’s wearing a business suit, clearly not protesting, just there to close her account with the bank as part of a group action. NYPD surround her, scare the shit out of her, and arrest her. For closing her bank account.
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING.
ETA: OK, I’m rewatching this, and I may have gotten it wrong. The woman shown here may be the woman we hear on camera communicating with the folks locked in the bank and giving them the legal aid number. In which case she’s being dragged off by the cops for informing people not yet under arrest about their legal rights? I don’t know which scenario is worse. If anyone has the real scoop, I’d love to hear it.
ETA2: NYPD announce that 24 people were arrested at the earlier Citibank incident. They were all charged with criminal trespass, while one was also charged with resisting arrest.This is according to Jonathan Lemire at the Daily News.
