Daring Fireball Linked List: Microsoft’s Kin Humiliation.
I had heard 10,000 mentioned, but this seems more likely. OMG.
Simon Owen notified me of an interesting Firefox plugin which causes oil to leak across your browser whenever the word “BP” appears in the text.
I love it.
See it in action here,
and if you like, download it here.

This rumor has been going around for a few weeks, that Apple was coming out with an enhanced multimedia album format called cocktail. Now, The Unofficial Apple Weblog adds more fuel, that there will be competing formats – link.
TUAW ends their rumor with this:
this promises to be a pretty decent fight.
Really? I don’t think so. I don’t see many people today that want to poke around a kind of crappy interface to see the front and back of the album cover, let alone pay more for the multimedia ‘enhancements.’ They would be wiser to just start including song lyrics embedded in the tracks sold by the iTunes Store.
OMG

Palm Pre linked on Daring Fireball:
The gist, from a software standpoint, is that all the apps are written as client-side web apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Isn’t this essentially the “sweet” application solution that debuted with the original iPhone that developers rebelled, bitched, moaned, and agonized over until the SDK?
So, then, what exactly is the big deal?
Chuqui has a good take on the possibility of a non-user changeable battery over at Chuqui 3.0.
I only have a couple things to add: 1) This approach might lead to Apple actually licensing the MagSafe to some companies to make useful things such as car chargers; 2) I think a second AC adapter is much more useful than a second battery. Leave it plugged in where you usually compute at home and keep one in the bag for remote use.
