The announcement that Nexus One users won’t be getting upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich led some to justifiably question Google’s support of their devices. I look at it a little differently: Nexus One owners are lucky. I’ve been researching the history of OS updates on Android phones…

producermatthew:
Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission — to make the world more open and connected. We think it’s important that everyone who invests in Facebook understands what this mission means to us, how we make decisions and why we do the things we do.

Bradley Wright: Using Dropbox as a Git repository →
So last month I wrote a bit about setting up your own personal Git repositories on a Linux box, and how to use that for sharing code.
I’ve had a slight epiphany since then: what if I just used the awesome Dropbox (my referral link, if you’re likely to sign up) to share Git repositories…

dstrelau:
Enter Staircar: a lightweight HTTP service to make interacting with hundreds of Redis instances look easy. We considered some nascent open source projects for the job, but found they had a lot of functionality we didn’t need, and/or struggled with response times once the number of elements in the sorted set started to grow.

dowding:
What I’d really like is to be able to define my own mobile theme.
staff:
Your blogs now comes with an optimized iPhone layout!
And a damn nice looking one at that.
This should be a huge improvement when browsing Tumblr blogs from the iPhone — and we’re building similar views for BlackBerry’s, Android, and more. Stay tuned.
If your theme already looks great on mobile devices, you...

*** THIS SERVICE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ***
Update: On June 10th, 2011, Tumblr announced a new version of their site that removed the ability to import RSS feeds unless you were previously using that feature. Since this Last.fm Weekly Top Artists feed was dependent on that feature, I’m afraid…
