Paul Carr is the only reason to bother reading Techcrunch. Every word of this is pure gold:
Tip One: Don’t go to South by Southwest Interactive.
I’m serious. It sucked last year, and it’s going to suck again this year. You’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise. The idea that SXSWi is ...

As much as I hate linking to TechCrunch, I couldn't find a better source for this story about Time Magazine's tablet magazine concept.
The demo was shown on an HP table computer with a touchscreen, but it could easily be ported to an iPhone or an Apple iTablet, whenever that becomes ...

Due to some strange business conflicts between involved companies, the fabled CrunchPad is no more.
I would feel bad, but did anyone really think this thing would ever see the light of day?

Verizon has launched an interesting iDon't campaign to promote their upcoming Droid phone. The commercial is pretty simple, listing a bunch of the iPhone's alleged weak points, each preceded by the epically clever "iDon't". In the end, we're told that Droid, a new Android-based phone from Verizon, will fill all ...

I still think that the only people who buy the Kindle are gadget nerds or pseudo-intellectuals who want other people to think they read more than they actually do, but I must admit that the purported new B&N reader is pretty slick.

People are excited about 10/GUI. And for good reason. The desktop metaphor is stale, and we would all benefit from a better idea.

The rumor is that AT&T will allow Skype on the 3G network.
Is anyone having such a great experience with AT&T's network that they're genuinely excited about what will happen when they have to share the network with VoIP traffic?

This might be enough for me to dust off my Roomba and find a tripod.

Alex King pointed me to Amazon, where the Novatel MiFi is on sale for $0.01 (with contract). Now the question: do I get the Sprint version or the Verizon version?
Sadly, even Boy Genius wasn't much help in deciding.

Fake Steve on Chrome OS:
Trying to make an OS out of Chrome is like saying you're going to turn a Pontiac Aztek into a stretch limousine. I suppose it could be done, but why?
Apple isn't in the netbook market, so there's no reason to even consider Chrome OS a competitor. ...

John Wilker is back at it, and once again Coathangr will be sponsoring.
If you don't know, Ignite is a get-together with a bunch of local tech folks where the thought leaders and social media experts can get onstage for five minutes and use up to twenty slides to explain their ...

Devin Reams explains how to use Google Voice as a middle-man for calls. I love stuff like this, even if it doesn't benefit me directly as an AT&T customer.

Penny Arcade nails it.
I keep hearing new Kindle owners say the same thing; they've done much more reading since their Kindle arrived. Well yeah, of course you're reading more. You have a new toy, and that's all it does. I did a lot of baking right after I got my ...

Brent Simmons is looking for the perfect version control system, and has this complaint about Git:
When I’m finished working on my laptop and I commit my changes, they’re not available on my desktop. I have to take the extra step of pushing the changes.
And then, back at my desktop, I ...
