  Say what you will about Chrome Web Store, but for users of Chrome OS and non-tech-savvy users of Chrome Desktop, it's an important channel.
  

  @mko I agree, I'm happy about what Chrome is doing. I think "tech savvy" is more accurately "able to wrangle horrible interfaces".

  @mko and by that I mean technology should be more fluid and easy to use. It shouldn't be something that frightens people.

  @aaronpk awesome! Minor nitpick: I used jQuery Mobile <http://jquerymobile.com>, not jQTouch.
  

  @malept Thanks for the correction! I updated the post.

  Can't help but notice Foursquare is missing from the new Twitter places search. What's up? https://dev.twitter.com/docs/places/finding-tweets-about-places

  As receiving a PUSH notification 2 hrs after I turn my phone on re: an 8hr old tweet 8 is sorta silly... don't you agree?
  

  @brennannovak Devs get no indication from Apple about whether the push was delivered. It'd be up to Apple to discard it, so...?

  Kind of sad that tethering my cell phone gets better download speeds than Qwest here. Then again, I am literally staring at the cell tower.

  Ahh, after 5 days of tethering, Qwest finally installed service. Feels refreshing to be on 3mbps again after 8mbps from my phone &lt;/sarcasm&gt;

  making pumpkin pie with no crust - i just want the filling. also sweetened condensed milk is crazy-sweet.
  

  @donpdonp That's a great way to make pumpkin pie! Best recipe I use is http://wiki.projectnerdhaus.com/Pumpkin_Pie Evaporated instead of condensed milk

  If #wikileaks becomes a trend- World War 3 is going to be between Old World banks, governments, corporations and New World internet tribes!
  

  @brennannovak I was just saying, it looks like WWIII is starting online... totally agree there.

  @aaronpk great minds think alike!

  Made something new for my wife for dinner tonight: steamed sweet potatoes with a little bit of salt and a little bit of lime juice on top
  

  @marshallk That sounds delicious. I'm going to have to try that some time. Might also be good with some cinnamon?

  @aaronpk recipe called for diced cilantro, which I don't have. I peeled a veggie for first time in years though!
  

  @marshallk Hope it wasn't too difficult, sometimes those veggies like to fight back!
