forkly
Monday, September 27th, 2010Forkly has a very clever system in place: your odds of being accepted increase as more of your friends sign up using your link. Clever not just for the obvious benefit of the link spreading, but also because the forkly team is limiting early access to those who have the ...
South by Southwest
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Paul 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 ...
They Should Call It a “Tablezine”
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009As 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 ...
Death of the CrunchPad
Monday, November 30th, 2009Due 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?
• What the Droid Says About Verizon and the iPhone
Monday, October 19th, 2009Verizon 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 ...
Barnes & Noble E-Reader
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009I 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.
10/GUI
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009People are excited about 10/GUI. And for good reason. The desktop metaphor is stale, and we would all benefit from a better idea.
AT&T May Allow VoIP
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009The 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?
Roomba Art
Monday, September 21st, 2009This might be enough for me to dust off my Roomba and find a tripod.
MiFi
Friday, September 18th, 2009Alex 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.
Chrome OS
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009Fake 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. ...
Ignite Denver 3
Friday, April 24th, 2009John 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 ...
Free Calls with Google Voice and T-Mobile
Saturday, April 11th, 2009Devin 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.
