in The power of small changes on The Equity Kicker
Isn't this just another example of the trendy "nudge" theory of economics/human behaviour - which is currently being seized on by the Conservative Party (who incidentially are seen in the UK as being close to Google).

in What a new search engine should be about on The Equity Kicker
The auto-generated photos on a Cuil search are bizarre - I searched against my own name and some of the photos it threw up were bordering on offensive - and most of the results were very US (i.e. .com) focussed. Not tempted to convert.

in Thinking About Blackberry Apps on A VC
Or even better, on my bb I have set one of the side buttons to "lock" - althought I still manage to randomly text/email/call people when I have it in the side pocket of my trousers - doh!

Dan Entin I do the same thing as josh20 - I highly recommend it.

Danvers - I think the Convenience keys are too useful to use one of them to "lock". I have my left convenience key set to Profiles (phone only) which is great for toggling between "phone only" when I'm at my desk and other more intrusive settings when I'm about. I use my right convenience key for the Camera. Really happy with this setup.

in The declining importance of blogs on The Equity Kicker
I find "My Blogs" on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id...) works quite well as it puts something on my profile whenever I write a blogpost (not often) and as a result most of the very few hits I get on my blog have come via facebook.

in The Laptop: TV You Can Take With You on A VC
When you arrive in the UK you can check out the BBC iPlayer and C4 on demand (which has tons of US shows). Of course, it's also amazing what can be found on Youtube when you are really bored or need to entertain the kids.

Whilst on holiday in Spain in November, I also found it was a great time to do online Christmas shopping... you're right, I would now never go on holiday without my laptop
