Href affection for March 31st

Merlin Mann | Mar 31 2008

Timbuk2 - Steve Sleeve - Timbuk2’s MacBook Air sleeve stylishly adopts the look of the interoffice mail envelope Steve demoed at Macworld. Very clever. I’m gettin’ one.
persistent.info: Mail Trends - “Thus was born Mail Trends, an IMAP-based email analysis project. It can generate a bunch of tables, graphs and distributions based on time of day, senders, recipients, mailing lists, etc.” Mihai is a stone cold stud.
Hivelogic: Offices and The Creativity Zone - “In the very same way you’d want to find the right time and place to read a book, creative types need to setup the specific conditions they need to enter The Zone.” [via DF]
Clipboard History triggers unwantedly - If your QS Clipboard window has taken on a life of its own, try deleting and re-installing the Clipboard plug-in. Saved my sanity. Also: I’m kind of liking the adverb “unwantedly.”
Leather Hipster PDA Case from Staples on Flickr - Handsome-looking $10 case available at Staples. (By the bye, Levenger, thumbs-down for appropriating the Hipster PDA name without attribution; not classy) [Flickr photo link via djohnson]
Apple - Downloads - Dashboard Widgets - HostsWidget - “Allows you to manipulate your “/etc/hosts” file quickly and easily.” [via siliconmeadow]
Nothing Up My Sleeve: Twitter as a Moral Compass - Gordon shares how to use htaccess to alter a hotlinked image on just the one thieving domain. Man, I’d love to see Yahoo! do this to the Drudge Report (check the man’s code for imgs src’d from straight off yimg.com).

Drudge thieving?

Submitted by FloatingBones on April 10, 2008 - 10:14pm.

Matt Drudge is currently pulling almost 600M hits/month on his home page. It seems unlikely that Yahoo! wouldn't notice billions of image downloads being used by his webpage.

Isn't it more likely that he has a contract with Yahoo! and that contract gives him permission to hotlink to their images?
