A comment on the problem "ctrl + press the link = not working" in Thing Labs:

Ah yes, this clears things up!
I tested on Firefox 3.5.1 and ran into the behavior, too.
Tabs won't open in background.

I suspect a JavaScript keymapping to evoke this failure. – weipah, on October 05, 2009 12:06

I still can't figure you're problem. I tried to open about 20 different links on Firefox 3.5.3 (Windows XP) and did not run into any glitches with the control-key, sorry.

A comment on the problem "ctrl + press the link = not working" in Thing Labs:

I don't get the purpose of the video you posted? It seems as if everytime you klick on a link it opens a tab.

Maybe you should record a video only showing your actual problem and not open five links as quick as you can where nobody is able to follow.

Maybe you could write down the single steps you proceed? – weipah, on October 04, 2009 12:11

Maybe you should state which browser and operating system you are using, because I don't see this behavior in Firefox or Safari on the Mac?

A comment on the question "Brightkite S60 Client" in Brightkite:

Yeah, I know what is the purpose of those 'verified' or signed packages. But in fact it is more difficult to get a signed application and it means more effort for the developer. You also mentioned the fee which might not be that high for a bigger company, but there are more platforms like new android where you don't have to pay for.

And just to name an example where it's not so 'open' as it does promote:

I was not able to install the pys60 package on my Samsung i8510 Innov8, also the source is listed on Nokia's official developer site.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60

It won't install saying it's not signed. I even tried to self-sign one file and then it said it's a malicious version.

Compared to other OS, Symbian is still pure pain I think. It might be rock-solid with the out of the box features like the webbrowser, but if you want more out of it, you're almost lost.

Of course there are good applications for Symbian, too. Like Slick (Mutlimessaging client) or Gravity (Twitter Client), but on other platforms you have thousands to chose from.

What I also found striking is the fact that If you take a closer look at available applications you'll also see that most of them are not fairly native ones, but Java apps.

But enough of the bashing. I'm looking forward to maemo, too and hope for better software policies in the near future.

Anyone have a maemo version of bkite app ready? ;) – weipah, on September 22, 2009 19:37

A comment on the question "Brightkite S60 Client" in Brightkite:

I don't know if any of you are developers on any platform, but let me say something about Symbian OS. It maybe declared and promoted as 'open', but in fact it isn't. Depending on your mobile, you can not install every application, which has to do with signed and unsigned applications.

Symbian OS is very different from other platforms, which means you have to read a whole bunch of documentations to be prepared to build anything on this.

Even if anyone had this time you would need an additional load of time to built at least two version. Namely 3rd edition and 5th edition versions for different mobile phones.

More over Nokia one of the biggest Symbian OS supporters will turn to the new Linux based system called maemo, which is for example already in their upcoming N900 series phone.

I have a nice Symbian mobile myself, but in fact I won't get another, because I realized that there are only so few 3rd parity apps around. And I'm pretty sure it will die next year. At least I think you won't find any business smartphone installed with it very soon. – weipah, on September 22, 2009 09:15

weipah reported a problem in BackType on September 10, 2009 14:02:

People tab missing when logged in

When not logged in I have a people tab on the upper left of the site.
When logged this seems to change into Dashboard.

So this means when actually logged in I can't search and follow people?

I think it would be nice to have two separat rss-feeds. Like in a blog where you have entries and comments split up.

Das denke ich auch: kleiner Aufwand, "große" Wirkung ;) – weipah, on September 09, 2009 05:59

Weiterleitung auf SSL bei Login

Ich fänd' es eine gute Idee, wenn man beim einfachen Login mit Benutzername und Passwort, nach Klick auf den "Login"-Button direkt auf die https-Seite geschickt würde, so dass die Credentials schon verschlüsselt übertragen würden.

Als alternative könnte man dann unten drunter einen Link ohne SSL anbieten für Verbindungen, die kein SSL unterstützen. Das wären zum Beispiel mobile WAP-Proxies.

Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, bietet beispielsweise Amazon eine ähnliche Vorgehensweise an.

Photoalbum im Profil

Wie wäre es mit einer Art Photoalbum im Profil für Leute die z.B. bei Flickr, Skitch, Ipernity, ...angemeldet sind?

Ähnlich dem Activity Stream, eben nur als Album im eigenen Profil. Beispielsweise mit den letzten 10 Bildern.

Macht was draus! ;-)
