Otellini on being asked to produce the chips for the original iPhone: The thing you have to remember is that this was before the iPhone was introduced and no one knew what the iPhone would do… At the end of the day, there was a chip that they were interested in that they wanted to [...]

Amazon Coins

Amazon Coins: A Terrible Idea For Consumers Like Garrett, I'll pass. And I don't buy anything on the Xbox anymore since they use that stupid Points system.

Ooooooooh!

Instagram’s Story

A good article from Vanity Fair: Mark Zuckerberg and Kevin Systrom on What Really Happened When Facebook Bought Instagram.

The 2014 iBeetle Is Like an iPhone on Wheels - NYTimes.com The fact that the 2014 Beetle is going to be one of the first cars to do much with our iPhones is simply appalling. Cars are owned for four, six, eight, ten years. So when they're already two, four, or six years behind adopting [...]

I have one. It's black. I expect that I'll have another in a month (or longer, more likely). All serious offers will be entertained.

Idiot or Troll

That's the question being asked of this Rob Enderle article: The impossible task of fixing Apple. I'm voting for a combination of both: idiot savant troll. You simply can't be that stupid that often.

More companies should do this: What should happen to your photos, emails and documents when you stop using your account? Google puts you in control. You might want your data to be shared with a trusted friend or family member, or, you might want your account to be deleted entirely. There are many situations that [...]

Invisible Motion in Video

That's nifty. I like the eye example more than the pulse stuff, but the pulse stuff might be the best application thus far.

A Peculiar Test Drive

I really hope to be able to afford a Tesla (i.e. I hope they become less expensive) some day, but these three posts tell an interesting tale of media bias. Why a journalist would be biased against electric cars I have no idea, but… there you have it. A Most Peculiar Test Drive | Blog [...]

Where is My Pebble?

I was in the first 20% of people to support the Pebble Kickstarter campaign. I chose a black and a white Pebble (one is a gift for a friend), and my address has been checked promptly as well. I've voted, I've chosen colors quickly, etc. So where in the heck are my Pebbles? Don't give [...]
