YA RLY! NO WAI!
O HAI! This is some of the random ramblings of Jiayong Ou, a generic geek and web developer. Most of his ramblings are on twitter as @jiayongou. More on his other online activities are on his other page. His old blog is still available if anybody cares.

Is it just me, or does that patent sounds like the observer pattern?

A moat? They should also add a wall in case the terrorists are coming with a trebuchet.

I’ll leave it as an exercise to figure out how it works until I have time to write more about it. Hint: Very, very clever use of JavaScript’s implicit type juggling.

Brief illustration of how Android’s UX sucks
I get a notification that I missed a call and tap the number.
“WTF? Didn’t I just tap it? And let’s not mention it’s the only link in the message.”
“Yes, I’m sure I want to call my brother back.”
“Didn’t I just say I want to make a call? Why do I have to tap “Call” again?”
Yes, it’s four taps from seeing the number in the message to actually making a call. Okay, it’s better than back in the days where I would have either memorize the number or write it down but still.
You might say it’s just one insignificant little thing, but it bugs me. A lot. My Hero is full of those insignificant little things that bugs me (don’t get me started on the browser). All those insignificant little things combined makes using the phone a rather messy experience.
Maybe it’s just HTC’s customization and vanilla Android’s SMS/dialer apps are saner.
