Powerset Launches With Technology No One Needs
Jun. 4, 2008
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 Read more »
The iPhone Is Inevitable, Give It A Try
Mar. 24, 2008
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 Read more »
My Data Is My Memory
Mar. 21, 2008
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 should Read more »
Who Wants A Piece of Yahoo?
Feb. 4, 2008
After Microsoft’s unsolicited bid for Yahoo last week, it seems everyone has their theories about what is actually going to happen. Will Yahoo accept the offer and piss-off most of their employees? Will they hold up their middle finger and realize that they need to get their act together? The only thing we know so Read more »
Startups And The Recession
Jan. 22, 2008
There’s no doubt in my mind that the U.S. economy is headed for a recession. The Federal Reserve just cut rates — again — down to 3.50%. This, coupled with oil’s rising prices, the fall of the value of the dollar, the rise in inflation, and the credit lending problems are all pointing to a Read more »
Apple Pays Off Nick From ThinkSecret
Dec. 21, 2007
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.

Nobody Cares About Smart Searching
Oct. 2, 2007
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!

For Sale: Nokia 770 Internet Tablet + ThinkOutside Bluetooth Keyboard
Jul. 11, 2006
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 max since Read more »
Coming Soon: RIM Blackberry/WiFiBerry

Just a few days ago RIM’s Co-CEO/Chairman announced that many Blackberry features will be added to models coming out “by the end of the year” with WiFi support, image capture (camera), and MP3 playback capabilities on the short list.

Getting Fooled By Spam
Jun. 9, 2006
I’m sure all of you get spam like me, in fact email spam is so integrated into our daily lives that I think if I didn’t get a bunch of spam emails I’d think something was up. This entry isn’t about how spam lords get our email addresses, or viruses received (I’m a Mac guy Read more »
Fun With VoIP, Netgear’s New WiFi Skype Phone
Jun. 1, 2006
I’m not sure how I missed this, but it seems Netgear is coming out with a WiFi Skype phone that looks very slick: I don’t use Skype for calling friends, however nabbing this phone and using SkypeOut to call their regular numbers seems pretty fly. I read somewhere that the bummer is that there’s no Read more »
