Ten years ago, if someone had told you that in the near future, your shoes would talk to your mobile phone as you run and that your phone would connect wirelessly with a pair of stereo headphones for music, all the while allowing you to play Scrabble with a friend who lives three thousand [...]
Apple – What is iPad?
Original Airdate: May 12, 2010
…and, “What is Newton?” circa 1994.
Palm holds a soft spot in every gadget geek’s heart. I’ve been a fan since my first Palm device, the Palm III — perhaps the first device that showed me where things were headed and the potential of mobile computing. It was followed with a Sony Clie (a palm licensee), a Treo 600 and a [...]
This is the page I got as a result of typing in my ZIP code to get the weather report yesterday. It measures 1266 pixels wide and 678 pixels tall. That’s a total of 858,348 pixels with which they could have told me the weather. That, was – I thought, a simple request. And apparently [...]
The City of Santa Barbara wishes you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season, lock up your shit.
This year, kickme444 and an assorted group of Redditors decided to put together one of the largest communal holiday gift exchanges on the internet for the Reddit community. This was no slap-dash operation, it led to the creation of redditgifts.com with over four thousand members participating in the exchange. You can read more about it [...]
Mildly humorous idea I don’t have the initiative to follow through on: Shakespeare’s Othello reimagined as YouTube comments. #
Lala might be acquired by Apple; hopefully they don’t destroy it in the process. It’s a gem in a sea of Web 2.0 mediocrity. #
I’m currently staring at a PowerPoint slide with a wall of text fourteen [...]
When Apple announced the unibody MacBook Pro, I ordered one immediately after to replace my aging MacBook Pro. It was a great machine except for the new screen design that Apple adopted, a LED-backlit LCD seated behind a sheet of thin and highly reflective glass that made outdoor use and work in bright environments nearly [...]
boinged (verb, past-tense): the act of Cory Doctorow copying and pasting four paragraphs of an author’s work, writing a one sentence preface for it, calling it original content and wrapping ads around it on Boing Boing.
Example: Andy Baio was totally just ‘boinged, but it’s totally fine because BB is hip and so-not-corporate.
So – who wants [...]
“Prove that Techcrunch did not pay @biz $10,000 to get on Twitter’s suggested friend list. They sure were not more popular than @leolaporte two weeks ago.” – Robert Scoble
Well, first. When you pull a ridiculous accusation out of your ass, I do believe that the burden of proof is on you. The issue here is [...]
I can’t believe that Congress and the new administration actually passed an extension for the US Digital TV transition deadline, but alas – here we are. But look, I’ve solved the entire problem in two minutes. After the deadline, display this test card on the analog channels for one week. When old people find out [...]
First, please note that the laptop in this (intentionally absurd) ad is a MacBook Pro. Second, one of the characters actuall says “Microsoft, huh? So it’s pretty easy to use?” Really.
But that characterization may be unfair based on just one project. After all, they did release the Zune – a 30GB brown media player which [...]
