How Google Launched the Nexus One SuperPhone
Jan 6, 2010 1:25
I’ve been following the hype and launch of the much anticipated Nexus One phone, a.k.a “The Google Phone”. Here are a few pointers I took away from it all: 1. If you want the tech crowd to pay attention you need to come up with a cool and geeky-powerful name. Nexus One is probably as [...]
Using Filters And Labels To Free Up Gmail Space
Jul 22, 2009 2:21
Yesterday my catch-all Gmail account reached the 92 % watermark, and I found it alarming. I had been looking time and again for effective ways to clean up, but none seemed viable as I had over 60,000 emails on file. Judging from what I learned online, there seems to be two ways of doing this. [...]
A Few Thoughts About Why the Kindle Won’t Save the Publishing Industry
Dec 10, 2008 4:25
(Image courtesy of) In my last post, I noted that the Kindle might not save a publishing industry trying to turn digital “threats” into advantages. Today I discovered a post by writer Charles Stross, who talks about a similar reader, the Sony PRS-505: I’ve been thinking for a while that e-paper machines like the PRS-505 [...]
T-Mobile G1 i Danmark. Hvorfor vente på Google-phone, når du kan få den nu?
Dec 1, 2008 11:31
(This text is about getting and using the new G1 phone in Denmark. Thus, I’ve kept it in Danish). Kan du huske, da du først så tech-flippere flashe den tidlige version af iPhone? Selv husker jeg den øjeblikkelige tech-craving og efterfølgende -lede forårsaget af min ældgamle (men dog yderst sjældne) Samsung P300. Ak, min var [...]
Give that beast a head for chrissakes! Cyber Bambi on ice
Mar 18, 2008 7:58
Boston Dynamics’ ‘BigDog’ robot represents the culmination of ‘quadruped’ robot engineering so far. BigDog has trotted at 3.3 mph, climbed a 35 degree slope and carried a 120 lb load. It remains standing even on ice and regardless of evil scientists kicking it in the side. More about the beast here. One word of advice, [...]
You must see this: Story of Stuff
Mar 10, 2008 5:27
This is definitely a must-see. Winner of SXSW Web Award’s ‘Educational’ category, Story of Stuff, shows you in 20 minutes exactly how Western society (read: USA) is trying to consume its way out of post-war depression, failing miserably, and destroying the planet at a suicidal pace.
Newspaper 2.0, finally?
Feb 28, 2008 6:38
After a very quick look at BBC’s new homepage, I’d say they just made a bold move in the right direction, compared to NYT, who everyone else seems to think are the cutting edge of newspaper 2.0. NYT does have a members-only MyTimes page, tugged away safely here, but BBC goes all-in transforming their entire [...]
Seeqpod now delivers free music to your iPhone/iTouch
Jan 25, 2008 8:59
‘Playable search’ they call it: Seeqpod crawls the web for available music and indexes it for search&play. I first came across the site months ago and liked it in all it’s cheeky simplicity. You can even make an embeddable playlist widget where you stream the (often illegal) music from a third party site. Is it [...]
CES latest: Tazer with MP3 player
Jan 11, 2008 7:51
Yes, the latest from Las Vegas’ Consumer Electronics Show: A tazer with MP3 player. You get the picture: “Excuse me sir, please hold with your ongoing rape until this Timberlake track has finished and I have removed my earplugs”.
A flawed jewel, but it’s mine: Sony F828
Jan 6, 2008 12:09
You, sir, are you unsure of what digital camera to buy? Me too. It’s a jungle out there, and as a former editor of a digital camera magazine, I should know. Being a child of the digital age, I’m a compact kind of guy (ed.: preferring cameras with a fixed lens, as opposed to single [...]
