I've been fortunate enough to attend talks given by both Luke Wroblewski (LUKEW, http://www.lukew.com/) and Joshua Clarke (Global Moxie, http://globalmoxie.com). Both have written excellent books on design principles and UX/UI implementation (Luke on web form design, Joshua on app interfaces and design).
If you're interested in web standards and design, http://www.alistapart.com/ is also a great site to follow.

Page One [1] is a browser extension that automatically redirects you to the single-page version of articles on popular news sites, including NYT. Works great for me.

In Paris, the stations offer you an economic incentive. Unlike in Manhattan which is comparatively flat, riders in Paris enjoy coasting down from Sacré-Cœur and not so much peddling back up again.
So vélib encourages you to ride uphill:
> Return your bike to one of 100 stations perched over 60 meters above the rest of the city, and 15 minutes of free riding is added to your account. Riding uphill is now a power-up. The free minutes are a bonafide reward, too, saving money on destinations that are often outside of the free 30-minute radius. More bikes make it back up the hill. Since the program was launched in June, over nine years of bonus minutes have been awarded.

Paris' Velib system found that people didn't like riding up some of the steeper hills:
"See, Paris has a handful of steep hills. The Montmartre neighborhood, for example, is perched at the top of a rise some 450 feet above the Seine. Taking a bike down the hill has a certain obvious appeal, but riding back up to the top... not so much."
"Over the summer, though, the good people of Vélib added a simple behavioral incentive to the system: Return your bike to one of 100 stations perched over 60 meters above the rest of the city, and 15 minutes of free riding is added to your account."

I think it's neat they managed to put some game mechanics in to the pricing model to encourage users to make the whole system work better for other users.

In my opinion, both native apps and Web apps will continue to coexist. However, with HTML5 and other possible future standards the gap will narrow down.

Oh, come on. There is no need for inflammatory crap like this. We all know web and native apps will both continue to be important. http://globalmoxie.com/blog/mobile-web-vs-native.shtml
HN is better than this. Flagged.
