Links for Wednesday November 18^th, 2009

• Marco.org - Is Palm's Comeback Losing Steam?: Interesting post from Marco Arment. I agree that Palm needs to have a WiFi-only device (like the iPod touch), but disagree with his conclusion:

  "For Palm, it’s too late. They bet the company and made a decent effort, but it wasn’t enough. They’ve already lost."

  I think that Palm should get the benefit of the doubt — I'll be interested in next year's "Pre 2".

• Dash to D.C.! Tech Guru Will Head Gov't Incubator, Digitize Democracy | The New York Observer: It'll be interesting to see if Anil Dash can pull this off. I'll be rooting for him.

• IEBlog : An Early Look At IE9 for Developers: Of note, Microsoft is really working on improving JavaScript performance, and CSS compliance. Still no word on HTML5 video, though.

• Startup Visa · Nat Friedman: Sounds good to me.

• Enlightenment working with top-tier electronics maker: Interesting. It's been years since I used Enlightenment, but I'm definitely curious about this.
