Well, the new Web Applications Stack Exchange is for you. It’s a part of the Stack Exchange network, so it has the clean, elegant design that made Stack Overflow a phenomenal success.
The newest member of the Stack Exchange Network is the first one to go through the community site-creation process called Area 51. There are more great sites in the pipeline, but they have to demonstrate that they can reach critical mass or we won’t create them.

Everyone loves remote control toys. But the problem with most of them is, unless you manage to remote control one directly down someone's throat, they're pretty useless as weapons. But what if we were to tell you that we fixed that obvious design flaw?
Those of you who spent the weekend Tokyo drift-racing your way to a rap battle—or whatever it is people do when they go outside on the weekend—probably feel pretty good about yourselves right now. At the end of the day, though, what do you have to show for it? Vague memories of changing lanes. Twenty-five of the people who wisely chose to stay home and craft items, on the other hand, now have
shiny new ultra-rare golden wrenches that they can keep. For a weekend? No. For a
lifetime. Eat it, drift-racers. Eat
all of it.
UFC 116 is gone and done, and it’s time to look ahead to UFC 117: Silva vs. Sonnen which will feature current middleweight champion Anderson Silva defending his title against Chael Sonnen. Sonnen has been hyping the fight by criticizing almost every aspect of Silva’s character, fighting ability and in ring antics, and many are expecting the champion to answer back in the ring. While Silva is not one to trash talk much, he did address Sonnen’s words during a recent interview with Tatame. The champ seems quite cool about the whole situation, though he did send out a less than subtle reminder to Sonnen and fans:
I’m cool… I’m not anxious about his statements, I don’t worry about those things. He is promoting this fight the way he cans. He’s a great athlete, he’s having a chance to fight for the belt, so let’s go. When you get there, everything changes. Inside that cage the speech changes, everything change. The last one who spoke too much didn’t like the outcome, but it’s normal. People have their mouth and their right to say whatever they feel like.
It’ll be interesting to see if Silva pushes the pace after all the negative words he received from media, fans, and even UFC president Dan White concerning the antics he displayed when fighting Demian Maia at UFC 112. UFC 117: Silva vs. Sonnen takes place on August 7, 2010 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.

Middleweight Championship bout: Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen
Welterweight bout: Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves
Lightweight bout: Clay Guida vs. Rafael Dos Anjos
Welterweight bout: Matt Hughes vs. Ricardo Almeida

A huge thanks to commenter Muero for this information. He corrected the mistake I had made in my original sarcastic post about how the dictionary feature of iBooks simply didn’t work in Canada. Apparently, it has nothing to do with how many maple leaves are on your flag, but, rather, what language an eBook is set to. I had to go all the way back into Stanza on my Mac, set the of my eBook to English, and re-import the file into iBooks via iTunes to get the option to download the iBooks dictionary. After a 20 second download I was good to go and was defining words left and right like nobody’s business (Business: biz-nis -noun; none of yours.)
This is opposed to the process in an app like Stanza, where you can look up a word regardless of the language metatags (tested by throwing the same no-lanugage eBook into Stanza).

Today Apple have issued a letter to iPhone 4 users where they finally address the infamous iPhone 4 reception issue and acknowledge the problem. That’s a good step.
But … they are classifying the problem as entirely a software issue, with signal strength being displayed inaccurately.

Dropbox can now export files to iPhone apps that support them (wow, vague much, Thomas?). This mean that you can tap on a PDF in Dropbox, bring up the context menu (bottom right), and then export said PDF to Stanza or iBooks (does that clear things up?!). The iPhone is really starting to feel like a smartphone in all of the best senses of the word.
