The iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0 are causing quite a resurgence towards the iPhone platform — new users and previous iPhone users alike are both feeling like they have a brand new device in front of them. The App Store allows people to download desktop-class applications directly to their phone and it’s amazing.

Powerset has launched (Powerset.com) and it unveils natural language search capabilities to find answers on Wikipedia, the first dataset that they’ve indexed. Instead of typing things like “Google acquisitions” into, well, Google, you’d type in “who did Google acquire” into Powerset and get back your results.
Wait, what? How is that useful?
Before people get up [...]

Matt Asay just wrote an article about how his Blackberry recently died and he picked up an iPhone after quickly comparing it to the latest RIM offering.
“My reason was simple: I needed something that would sync consistently with my Mac. My Blackberry-to-Mac sync has been hit or miss for the past year (though I’ve been [...]

One barometer for being in the web game for too long is when one can remember a blog entry Jason Fried wrote in August 2005 that relates exactly to what one is currently writing about. The entry to which I am referring was an idea the 37s crew had about information and why you [...]

After a long and tumultuous struggle between Nick from Think Secret and Apple, they’ve resolved their issues and Think Secret will be publishing no longer.
This is especially interesting to me because I’ve been a reader of Think Secret for many years, essentially since the site started, and followed the lawsuit from its genesis to now. [...]

It’s astounding to me to think about Google and then picture them buying Sprint, a “real company” in my eyes. Google’s a search company and Sprint makes things and builds things and has advertising and all the things “real companies” seem to have. But to put things in perspective, Google has a market [...]

The latest buzz in the search world is that Yahoo! has unveiled their new Search Assist functionality which is probably an attempt to reclaim the search crown that Google forcefully took many years ago.
“That sums up Yahoo! Search in a nutshell; the whole point is we want to get you from “to do” [...]

Okay guys, it’s time to sell these two toys to fund my golf habit. Back in January I wrote about the huge cool factor behind the 770, and although I still think it’s extremely cool I just don’t use it enough to warrant keeping it. I’ve actually only used it about 2-3 hours [...]
