Since the beginning of March 2010 Delicious honors text formatting in the description of bookmarks and shows the content to everybody exactly how the creator intended.

The problem: obtaining a feed of a search in Friendfeed user posts, devoid of the “Name (nick):” prefix before each and every item.

The problem: obtaining a combined Delicious network feed devoid of the “[username]” prefix before each and every bookmark.

These were the names of the four main developers of the System 6 Finder. But who were these people? And what else did they do at Apple?

The problem: obtaining a feed from Flickr devoid of the “username has posted a photo:” and with bigger images.

On September 1984 Apple released the follow-up to the Macintosh, addressing one of the major complaints of potential buyers: the lack of Ram memory.

The social aspect of Delicious has (finally) got a little boost: now you can share bookmarks not only with other users who are in your network but also as a message on Twitter and through e-mail.

Flash support is finally here: it is available in recent Chromium builds and Google beta releases and actually has been around for a while, although hidden.

Mac users now have a functional preview of Chrome which can add, delete and modify stored urls, including bookmarklets.

By modifying the file in which the browser saves its bookmarks you can get a Delicious-enabled Chrome (or Chromium). Here's how to do it.

Although it is true that until 2001 Apple never provided a command line interface out of the box, there have been many ways to obtain such an interface: here's one of them, an AppleScript shell called CLImax, developed in 1996 by Drew Thaler.

Did you know that some bookmarks on Delicious get a dangerous icon, are kept private (”not shared”) and a warning pops up when you try to visit them?

Looks like the Delicious update had more in store than just the audio player and the mobile version. Now there's also a Bulk Edit mode that allows you to change the privacy, delete or modify the tags of many bookmarks in one fell swoop.

First glimpse at the upgraded javascript code for playing bookmarked audio files: it now offers controls and a playlist plus a “targetting” symbol.

Notwithstanding Apple ’s long and heterogeneous output there is a constant in its promotional iconography: the use of hands. Here are some examples taken from a very wide spectrum of Apple products, strategies and eras.

We contacted him for a short interview to ask him what happened, what is his role and what is the distribution’s status.

I. e. there's no need to use the inbox or external services and tools to aggregate more tags: del.icio.us does it all with "+" between the words.

I got an email from Yahoo! Looks like I was right and the strange problem which affects del.icio.us, mixed case user names and the “for:” tags is a bug, after all.

"[...] when the user name isn’t written exactly (ie using the exact and same upper and lower case(s)) as the name in the network the for: tag fails to work."
