I would love to see iCloud support and a desktop version. It would be awesome to have something like the Processing IDE with a sketchbook that automatically syncs between my devices (e.g. my iPad and MacBook).

I agree that the hotkey for it is not very discoverable, but the default layout for the Finder toolbar has a button for Quick Look (it's in his screenshot, the one that looks like an eyeball).
Twitter is NOT about mindlessly collecting a vast number of followers ... unless you're a CEO trying to market your various companies.
Seriously folks, look at the author / submitter ...
"CEO of Flaptor, maker of IndexTank (indextank.com) Hounder (hounder.org) and Trendistic (trendistic.com) among other things."
... this is the blog of a CEO who is trying to build a reputation and / or brand awareness. Nothing wrong with that, but keep in mind the intent of the author when reading the OP.
"First, let's admit that part of what makes Twitter interesting is egos and follower counts. There is clearly a pecking order on Twitter that doesn't exist in other social networks. If you have 10k followers you can tell off some loser with only 500. When you join Twitter you are the bottom bitch."
I guess this is how folks with something to sell see Twitter. It's not how anyone else I know who uses Twitter socially (as opposed to as a marketing tool) see Twitter.

There is something about this attitude that is genuinely evil.
They should change the error message that shows up when people try to look at their music history ...
"There was an error connecting to your Library. A page refresh should fix this problem."
... if I didn't read Hacker News I'd be sitting there hitting refresh a bunch of times :D Perhaps something simple like "please try back later" and link to the original blog post.
Hope they get things resolved and CBS doesn't give them grief for the outage. I've got almost six years of listening history on Last.fm and would hate to see it go away.

Then I know some things that may help you in the future. At the bottom of almost every page at Last.fm there four columns of links. In the column named "Get Help" there is a link that says "System Status" which goes to: http://status.last.fm/ where you can see how different parts of the site are running and a short explanation if there is a problem. I've never seen the system status page go down, even when there are problems on other parts of the site.
One time when Last.fm had some problem the links at the bottom of the page went away. Since then I find it handy to have a bookmark to the system status page.
Another thing to check are the forums (I wanna say fora :-), especially the Web Site Support forum: http://www.last.fm/forum/21713 . Usually the users of the site notice problems before explanations go up at the system status page and someone asks a question what is going on. The staff usually answers, explain what is going on and sometimes say an estimate of when the problem will be solved. In short, there are more details in the web site support forum than on the system status page.
"For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library."
They don't. Well, they might, but not an iOS binary. There's Makefiles for Android and (I believe) the desktop, but nothing setup for use with the iPhone SDK.
I like "I HATE WATER"

"If you are not used to using water that is being used to sign for you, I do not sign up for Facebook."
