Maybe one day I’ll be cool enough to get a TED invite and i can see stuff like Oblong’s demo of their g-speak interface.
As eye candy this is wickedly cool, and, naturally since its developed by the guy who did the design of the imagined interface for Speilberg’s Minority Report, everyone thinks it’s [...]

The Guardian has an interesting piece about Microsoft UK’s media chief Ashley Highfield who was apparently spreading FUD at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival at which he warned TV executives that within two years they will face an “iTunes moment” and “hand control” of their businesses over to Apple.

From the department of “What should be really obvious” but isn’t….
If your Apple iPhone development certificate expires you not only need to get a new one, but you MUST regenerate all your MobileProvision files.

TheStreet.Com has an add interview with some hilarious tripe about how Apple/Jobs needs to “bite the bullet” and “license WindowsMobile or RIM’s Blackberry” code.

Here we go again… yet another Patent Troll is going after someone — in this case Apple — for something that so obvious and in fact generic, you’d have to have to be from some other planet not to see that it’s not patentable.
At issue is something known as the “783″ patent, US Patent #7,321,783, [...]

Quite a big deal has been made of AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson’s diarrhea of the mouth this past week where he more or less pre-announced a 3G iPhone coming in 2008 from Apple. Cringely esitmates that this may well cost Apple over $1 billion in holiday sales, and that this was a calculated effort on the [...]

In just a little under 96 hours, Apple will loose OS X v 10.5 a.k.a. “Leopard” on the world. As a long time devotée of Apple’s stuff (I was writing software professionally back on my Apple ][ in high-school) I think this is the most exciting release yet.
Apple posted a very nice “guided [...]

So, my 7 yr old daughter surfed on over to Disney this evening after finsihing her homework to play a few games. No matter what game she tried to play she got a “redirect” message (see below – talk about your poor site design), and then a notice that the game she selected (and it [...]
