That’s quite a lot of applications in each category, don’t you think?

I just came back from watching Pixar’s latest movie, Ratatouille. I went in without reading reviews, and after viewing the commercial for the film a few times on television. The only expectations that I had were based on previous movie offerings from Pixar. I was severely disappointed with Pixar’s previous offering, Cars, considering the quality of their previous films, but I was very delighted with Ratatouille and they have won me over once again.

I must say, the television commercial for the move does not do the film justice - this is definitely a movie that cannot be judged based on what their marketing department can conjure up. When living in a world with movies such as “The Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End”, “Shrek 3″, and “Spider-Man 3″, - movies which made nearly a billion dollars, and walking out of the theater feeling ripped off - it’s not difficult to see that the quality of a movie can be vastly different from what the general perception is before walking in to the theater.

An error message like this from Facebook can really slow down my Facebook Application testing and development.

Looks like Apple has a sense of humor when building Mac OS X Leopard. I don’t expect this icon to be in the final version of Leopard, though.

When you look at Facebook’s Application Directory, you see that next to “All”, it notes “307″, suggesting that there are a total of 307 Facebook Applications in all.

This is not true. 307 simply states the number of Applications that Facebook deems is allowed to be in the Directory, meaning that these are high-quality applications that they believe gives value to most Facebook users. Facebook Application developers can still create Applications, but they are not listed in the Directory unless approved by Facebook.

Recently, I’ve been seeing a little icon on websites more and more often. Sometimes, when I least suspect it, I’ll be visiting a well-known open source project or a popular web application, and then my eyes will shift to a box that shows prominently on the homepage, linking to the same site.

I’m talking about the upcoming Webware awards, of course!

The button shown above is a common image seen on websites that have been nominated by the website in a total of 10 different categories; in the end, a total of 100 of the ‘best web 2.0 products’ will be announced on June 18, this coming Monday.

In a similar nature as my previous post regarding cleaning up my list of feeds, I’ve begun to clean up my Facebook friends list.

How do I determine if I should remove someone from my Facebook profile? Well, Facebook nicely reminds me whenever a friend’s birthday is coming up within the next few days. If I would find it awkward if I posted a simple ‘Happy birthday’ message onto a friend’s Facebook profile ‘wall’, then they probably shouldn’t be connected to me on Facebook.

I’ve recently spent some time playing old games (meaning games for the NES and SNES) on ROM emulators, and that’s been a ton of fun. During these past few days, I came upon a game called Desktop Tower Defense, which is insanely addictive (and TechCrunch would agree.) I first noticed this game a few months ago, but I didn’t really bother with it since it didn’t look too interesting to me, what with the very minimal graphics. After playing with it for a few hours, though, I’ve come to see that it is a game that can dangerously extend the number of hours that you spend at the computer. If you have a few hours to spare, then take a look at this game and try to beat the Challenge mode that goes up to 100 levels. I’ve reached level 75 so far and I can’t get any higher!

Mashable recently published a post entitled “17 Web 2.0 Sites Optimized for Your Wii“, which contains a list of top websites that are optimized for the built-in Opera web browser on the Nintendo Wii. When I got my Wii, one of the first things that I did was try out the web browser since I thought it was a pretty cool feature on the Wii. I was aware of StumbleUpon’s new website called Stumble.tv, which is designed specifically for the Wii, so I checked that out first. It’s basically StumbleUpon for videos from YouTube and Google Video, and optimized for the Wii.

To everyone coming from Google Blog Search - welcome! (I’m the first result for the search ‘american idol sanjaya’ )

One of my guilty pleasures is that I watch American Idol. Yes, yes, I do. (Because the people that I live with do as well - not my fault! Honestly!) Just a few seconds ago, Sanjaya Malakar has finally been eliminated. I’ve continuously had doubts as to whether the system really works, whether the viewers really know what they want and who they want to win, and whether there were (large) groups of people out there that were ‘hacking’ the system, such as Howard Stern’s campaign to vote for Malakar to win the competition. I guess the MySpace guys on hunger strike can finally stop, too.
