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 [...]

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 [...]

Apple aficionado, speaker, and venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki has a new startup coming out called Truemors. This normally wouldn’t be a big deal (person starting mobile-ready web application, how unique) but because it’s Guy Kawasaki’s pet project it gets press.

CNET just ran an article today about the future of the Web-based operating system, one that would operate independently of your actual operating system and utilize fat pipe bandwidth to get the job done.

Over the past few days I’ve noticed some large companies hopping into the space that was previously the domain of some much smaller startups. To start, Mozilla Labs is working on a social networking add-on to Firefox which may put the kibosh on Flock (more on that later), and then today, Google launched MyMaps [...]

Spivot is yet another content aggregation site in a long line of content aggregation sites like 9rules, Newsvine, Topix, Daylife, etc., only Spivot might be a few months late to the party.
From the email I received, Spivot is an “all-purpose media reader… [that] brings together the functionality of news aggregation (Google News), with social news [...]

Much has been made recently about MyBlogLog’s problems, but they have an even larger problem looming on the horizon that is 10x larger than anything else they’ve seen.
The Pro stat tracking features of MyBlogLog are similar to other packages — obviously they track clicks on your site. One of the things that MBL has [...]

A few months ago, in October 2006, Wired News ran a story titled “The Crusade Against Religion” where the author investigated the re-emergence (or emergence?) of atheism powered by some very brilliant scientists and writers. Many people around the world have been involved with this New Atheism, but the most well-known and recognizable figure [...]
