A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what these parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it. Here are some things my daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to do:

I am happy to announce that Tab Candy is coming to Firefox 4. Starting today, Tab Candy will be called Firefox Panorama and be available as a feature in Firefox betas. Head to the Firefox 4 feature list , or watch the video below, to learn how to organize your tabs into groups and reclaim your browsing experience from clutter and information overload.

While there are many directions still left to explore (some of which are covered in the Tab Candy announcement video ), there is a strong set of design principle that have and will continue to guide development.

My friends Gregory Weidman and Kenny Champman did a four-page guest episode which I am running this week and next to help me get caught up. It seems like in both web comics I am working on a major apocalypse is taking place and those kinds of things are a lot of work to draw. Anyway, I apologize for another break in "the Dogs", but I need it! Check out Greg and Kenny's comic the Ray Gun.

One Search Engine for a Million Apps: Quixey [INVITES]
There’s probably an app for that — whatever “that” may be. With countless applications available for web and mobile, the challenge lies in finding the right ones. Now, Quixey — a search engine for apps, 18 months in the making — seeks to find them for you. Quixey is lifting the veil on its fully automated, self-described “functional search” engine for applications Tuesday.

I’ll confess: I recently let stress beat me. I know, some of you think I’m perfect and never get stressed out, ever, especially as I’ve written about slowing down and simplifying for five years or so now. But I do get stressed out, and I do sometimes overwork myself.

O K, as us Pick Up Artists (PUAs) should know, Buying Temperature is the woman's emotional receptivity and her level of general attraction to the PUA at a given time. (Note, that there is slight, but subtle difference between general attraction and sexual attraction . You can have one without the other, though then you run the risk of turning from the really cool, fun guy into the really cool, fun friend.) Anyways, Buying Temperature Game isn't necessarily the tighest game if that forms the cornerstone of your repoitoire (though it's awesome for pushing for one night stands). Yet for some guys, who fall into the trap of being too comfortable and too serious, without pumping up BT, they come off as boring as opposed to exciting and intriguing to the woman. So I give you some common BT tactics.

android-notifier - Desktop event notifier for Android devices - Google Project Hosting
This project sends notifications to a desktop computer when certain events happen on an Android device, such as the phone ringing, an SMS being received, or the battery running low. The notifications can be sent over Wifi, Bluetooth, or (in the future) USB. It runs as a service on android, consuming little resources while no events are happening, and the desktop application notifies the user about the event in some way (Growl on Mac, Gnome dbus notifications on Linux, Growl for Windows or System tray alert on Windows), including information such as the number that's calling.Google once again saves the day thanks to the MyTracks app for Android phones. From the product page: "My Tracks is an application for your Android TM phone that enables you to record GPS tracks and view live statistics – such as time, speed, distance, and elevation – while hiking, biking, running or participating in other outdoor activities. Once recorded, you can share your tracks, upload them to Google Spreadsheets and visualize them on Google My Maps."
