AppleTV 2, a slimmed down PS3 slim, without the gaming hardware…
01 year ago
Apple discovered that consumers are using their PS3 to stream content from the Internet and decided to do the same by releasing AppleTV 2. It’s nothing more than iTunes connected to your TV.
Google’s CEO: “show us 14 photos of yourself and we can identify who you are”
0Back in August, at the Techonomy conference, Eric Schmidt said: ‘If I look at enough of your messaging and your location, and use artificial intelligence, we can predict where you are going to go … show us 14 photos of yourself and we can identify who you are. You think you don’t have 14 photos of yourself on the internet? You’ve got Facebook photos!’”
I forgot to post this back in August, but thought it was still relevant, especially after this week’s news about Facebook leaking personal information to advertisers.

A blogger commented, “I guess if you’re doing fake crisis response, you might as well fake a photo of the crisis response center.”

Antennagate: All that Apple managed to achieve at its press conference is to irritate other manufacturers
01 year ago
So…Apple is deleting all discussion threads about the antenna issue and still denies any problems with their design, even though, they started to try to hire antenna designers just before the official launch and they’re now giving away for free a rubber band to fix the non-issue.
On stage, this past Friday, Father Jobs, tried to convince its followers that the reception issue was in line with what people were experiencing with devices from other manufacturers, but the press and Consumer Reports didn’t buy it. Here is how Dave Nanian summarized the event: “So, in sum: there is no problem, all phones have this no problem, a case fixes this no problem, free case to fix your no problem. Got it!”
Somebody else didn’t buy it, the manufacturers that were dragged into Apple’s problem by Jobs. RIM, Nokia and HTC have all issued statements that they had designed antennas for long enough to know what they were doing.
At the end of the day, it’s just a phone (just not a very good one, more like a 3G iPod) and everybody is free to not buy it or return it (minus 10%) if they don’t like it. If it works for you and adds value to your life, then enjoy 
A new preview of Blackberry OS6 was published by RIM. It feels like 2008 all over again :)

It’s nice to see RIM catching up on the UI front, because let’s face it, Blackberrys are great phones and they have amazing keyboards and true multitasking which is really helpful when you’re a busy bee, but the UI needs some serious work done and they need a large, high resolution screen, because web pages are just too cramped on a 9700.
Anyway, check out this new official video. It would have looked very good in 2008, but I’m not that excited in 2010 
. RIM is on the right path though and every little helps when you’re competing with Android.
