With Akismet there was an interesting dilemma. Is it for the good of the world Akismet being secret and being more effective against spammers, versus it being open and less effective? It seemed more people would be helped by blocking spam.

Red notification bubbles on any icon, including mail, drive me crazy.

Ultimately, Captchas are useless for spam because they're designed to tell you if someone is 'human' or not, but not whether something is spam or not.

Twitter is the ultimate service for the mobile age - its simplification and constraint of the publishing medium to 140 characters is perfectly complementary to a mobile experience.

I think the Internet was invented specifically to stop people finishing their books. And it does quite a good job. I don't have blocking software, though I could easily imagine needing it. I just don't do that stuff until I've got the words done for the day.

X' had a more avant garde approach to the way it was put together, and the camera direction was more modern and was more like effective in the sense that it was trying to tell you the story by the camera moving and the camera showing you certain things. And 'Pearl' was more of, like, within the blocking, we'll tell you everything.

I think at some point during the course of the game, I will have an impact - whether it's blocking or whether it's catching the football.

I kind of like to think I can do everything decently well. It's just putting me in position to be a playmaker, blocking, special teams, no matter what it may be. Whenever I go out there, I'm going to do my best.
