A compass for the iPhone?
Ever since Apple (AAPL) shipped the first beta version of iPhone 3.0,
the new firmware scheduled for release this summer, developers have
been mining it for evidence of any new hardware features that might
appear in the next iPhone — widely expected to ship around the same
time.
The latest discovery, via The Boy Genius Report: controls for a digital compass.

A compass, magnetic compass or mariner's compass is a navigational
instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic
poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the
North end) free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field. The
compass greatly improved the safety and efficiency of travel,
especially ocean travel. A compass can be used to calculate heading,
used with a sextant to calculate latitude, and with a marine
chronometer to calculate longitude. It thus provides a much improved
navigational capability that has only been recently supplanted by
modern devices such as the Global Positioning System (GPS).Full topic

Perfection is achieved,
not when there is nothing more to add,
but when there is nothing left to take away.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry[1] (pronounced [ɑ̃twan də sɛ̃tɛgzypeˈʀi]) (29
June 1900—31 July 1944) was a French writer and aviator. He is most
famous for his novella The Little Prince, and is also well known for
his books about aviation adventures, including Night Flight and Wind,
Sand and Stars.
He was a successful commercial pilot pre-war, joining the Armée de
l'Air (French Air Force) on the outbreak of war, flying reconnaissance
missions until the armistice with Germany. Following a spell writing
in the United States, he joined the Free French Forces. He went
missing on a reconnaissance flight over the Mediterranean in July
1944.

Ixquick is a metasearch engine based in New York and the Netherlands,
and has provided over 120 million searches since 2004. [1] Ixquick was
founded by David Bodnick (currently Ixquick's lead "Technologist") in
1998, from New York. It is now owned by a Dutch company - Surfboard
Holding BV, which acquired this search engine in 2000. [2]
 
Ixquick returns the top ten results from multiple search engines. It
uses a "Star System" to rank its results - by awarding one star for
every result that has been returned from a search engine. Thereby, the
top search results are the ones that have been returned from the most
search engines. Ixquick also can search in 17 languages, including
Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish,
French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. Each language version
includes local search engines.
 
Ixquick was re-launched on March 23, 2005, with many new features
including a re-engineered metasearch algorithm, and an international
phone and lowest-price directory. [3]
On June 27, 2006, Ixquick.com became the first search engine to delete
private details of its users [4]. IP addresses and other personal
information are deleted within 48 hours of a search. [5] Ixquick also
does not share its users' personal information with other search
engines or with the provider of its sponsored results. [6]
Ixquick was awarded the first European Privacy Seal (EuroPriSe) for
its privacy practices on July 14, 2008. This European Union-sponsored
initiative guarantees compliance with EU laws and regulations on data
security and privacy, through a series of design and technical
audits.[7]
As of January 29th 2009 Ixquick no longer records users' IP addresses at all.[8]

If you would be a real seeker after truth,
it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt,
as far as possible, all things.
 - Rene Descartes
 
Same principle applies to any plan, project, business, startup your are in...
Not just once, do it as many times as possible...
- JFA
 
René Descartes (French pronunciation: [ʁəne dekaʁt]), (31 March 1596 –
11 February 1650), also known as Renatus Cartesius (Latinized
form),[2] was a French philosopher, mathematician, scientist, and
writer who spent most of his adult life in the Dutch Republic. He has
been dubbed the "Father of Modern Philosophy," and much of subsequent
Western philosophy is a response to his writings, which continue to be
studied closely to this day. In particular, his Meditations on First
Philosophy continues to be a standard text at most university
philosophy departments. Descartes' influence in mathematics is also
apparent, the Cartesian coordinate system allowing geometric shapes to
be expressed in algebraic equations being named for him. He is
accredited as the father of analytical geometry. Descartes was also
one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution.

The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.
When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims,
one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms,
like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.
 - George Orwell
 
Is insincerity banned from social media? Yes I do think so...
So is why 140 caracters twitter are long enough...
So is why any politician speech is useless..
So is why like Orwell we must fight for less State control, even when
facing whatever crisis or terrorism...

Eric Arthur Blair (25 June, 1903 – 21 January, 1950),[1] better known
by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author. His work is
marked by a profound consciousness of social injustice, an intense
opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language and a
belief in democratic socialism.[2]
Considered "perhaps the 20th century's best chronicler of English
culture,"[3] he wrote works in many different genres including novels,
essays, polemic journalism, literary reviews, and poetry. His most
famous works are the satirical novel Animal Farm (1945) and the
dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).

Lend to a friend
Peer-to-peer lender Prosper.com is back in business.
Last October, the nascent peer-to-peer lending industry nearly saw its
demise when the SEC forced its most established player, Prosper.com,
to stop brokering new loans temporarily while it determined whether
Prosper's loans should be classified as securities.
Now, after a six-month quiet period, Prosper is open to lenders and
borrowers again. It announced April 28 that it will once again broker
loans, at least in California.

Prosper Marketplace, Inc. is a San Francisco, California-based company
that operates Prosper.com, an online auction website where individuals
can buy loans and request to borrow money. Borrowers set the maximum
interest rate they wish to pay,[1] and loan buyers, called "lenders,"
bid on specific loans by committing a portion of the principal and
setting the minimum interest rate they wish to receive on a particular
loan.[2] Prosper manages the reverse dutch auction, assembling bids
with the lowest interest rates in order to fund the loan.
