The opening title card of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid reads, “Most of what follows is true.” The same could be said for the content of entrepreneur Jason Calacanis’s weekly video/audio podcast, This Week in Startups (or TWiST, as aggressively abbreviated throughout the show). Calacanis’s contract with his audience is that he will always [...]
All right, so I started off yesterday ready to pen a rant of Whazzmaster-like proportions against that entity known as AT&T. What inspired my ire? The downright strange policies surrounding current AT&T customers and the new iPhone 3G S, of course. Primarily the steep upgrade pricing for current iPhone users, though as demonstrated by the [...]
I was pleasantly surprised (actually, quite dumbfounded) today to discover that my office building was already available as a check-in point in foursquare. And triangulated from my first-gen iPhone’s EDGE signal, no less.
I also hadn’t realized that Blackberry App World already went live. I used it to download the latest Facebook upgrade and found it [...]
I’ve gotta confess to harboring an ungodly amount of gadget lust of late. On my list:
I’ve been playing around with my old DV camcorder recently and I’ve decided that I really want me some HD video. I’m thinking either Flip MinoHD or the Canon Vixia HF10.
The idea of owning an Xbox 360 has been haunting [...]
Oh really, AT&T? You want me to switch to your internet service but I can only view your offer site in IE? Awesome. Not like that limits your market or anything.
Well, this was pretty unexpected. That huge launch of the App Store I was so excited about earlier has actually resulted in extremely little change in my day-to-day living. I’ve only installed a handful of apps and have been mostly unimpressed. In fact I think I still prefer the mobile web version of Facebook over [...]
I’m probably not going to be getting a new iPhone anytime soon. Frankly I was a little underwhelmed by the V2 design, primarily because my biggest gripes (poor battery life, an amazingly sub-par camera) weren’t addressed. Plus that whole rate bump for 3G service makes me think my V1 iPhone might still be the better [...]
Looks like the media just can’t get enough of Google executive Marissa Mayer, and wouldn’t you know it: I can’t either. This woman is ridiculously fascinating to read about. The latest profile from San Francisco magazine is clearly a puff piece – you can almost hear how breathless the writer is – but I [...]
Listen up, Gmail: You’ve been my favorite web app for years and single-handedly started the whole Web 2.0 revolution so I’ve been cutting you some slack but WHAT’S WITH THE SUDDEN PROBLEMS LOADING PAGES??? What are all these new scripts I imagine must be churning in the background? The colored labels are nice [...]
I’m a little embarrassed to admit how overjoyed I am that Gmail has finally implemented IMAP for iPhone but honestly it’s just so freakin’ sweet to have all your email synced no matter where you read it from! Poor Yahoo – for a brief window of time there I was seriously considering making them [...]
