What Just Happened to Competition and Consumer Power

Let me get this straight. The Amazon Kindle allowed consumers to purchase books for, lets say… $10. And they were selling, and the publishers had to take that price point because it was selling, and very well. Maybe they didn’t make as much, I hear it was a 30/70 split with Amazon taking the 70. [...]

Without Fanatical Kool-Aid drinking consumers, Android will die.

I’ve got an iPhone, I use it constantly. If I’m not accessing my stuff, I’m accessing something online. If I’m not doing that, I’m listening to music; playing a game, making a call [that is probably the worst thing... the AT&T network makes me want to scream], but I’ve always got this thing on. I [...]

Android 2.0 SDK Domination of the Blogs

You might notice that Android is slowly taking over the tech blogs. I think competition is great, so Android becoming a big topic encourages other companies to develop and/or enhance their own offerings. I thought it was great that Techmeme.com showed the following list, and I’m not sure why The Huffington Post is on the [...]

When Marketing like this goes Viral, it isn’t good.

So, I guess there are some “Danger”ous things afoot. A hardware oops has caused the pause in sales of sidekicks, and even a very odd message in their forums. Head over here to read more. I just can’t find everything, but it looks like a lot of people are blogging about it:
From Techmeme.com,

Dear AT&T… I understand constant monitoring is straining the system…

But can you please not drop 5 out of 6 of my calls? It started a few days ago. But today, the first 5 of 6 phone calls which went beyond 6 minutes were dropped. Including one while I was talking to an AT&T rep about the dropped calls. My wife had the same problem, [...]

Please help your local libraries…

If you don’t, I’ll have to get a Kindle or other ebook reader for my wife because she reads over one book a week casually. Since May, 26 books have fallen to her reading habits. Since I don’t like the Kindle anymore…DRM issues, DRM issues, Changing functionality after purchasing. I’ll take anything other than a [...]

Stealth, Stealth, Table… duh duh duh dada duh duh.

I love stealthing technology. You just can’t beat stuffing a computer into a wall socket, or putting a full computer in a table, a model, or making a case out of LEGO’s. Engadget has an article about one talented Jeffrey Stephenson, who did some pretty good stuffing of equipment into an end table. I can [...]

HP Tablet is a Pseudo tablet, also, make a mental note… do not read everything you see in a teleprompter.

I was reading a blurb from VentureBeat.com about how the HP DreamScreen tablet/hybrid device is what they call “long-awaited” device (the video in on this page is the reason for the title, listen at around the 25 second mark) and a surprise from HP. It really isn’t. HP has been working on a Tablet for [...]

Apple Tablet part, oh, a lot.

I’m hoping this is true, except for the price point. $1000 for a tablet is crazy in this day and age of low cost netbooks and tablets. Even for Apple, they should really be pricing this thing somewhere just north of the iPhone on contract. So, somewhere around $500. But not $1000.
I want a multitouch [...]

eBook readers continue to hit the market.

And here is another: The “Story” is going to compete with everything else coming to market. I know that there are going to be some serious protectionist actions happening to prevent them. Primarily, licensing the rights to access certain formats. If they try to reverse engineer the accessing of .PDF’s for instance, I can imagine [...]

I’ve been misdirected… GPS powered Football.

So, more than 10 years ago, I thought of creating a football that was powered by GPS so that you could eliminate the problems associated with moving the chains, discovering if the ball passed the endzone, or any number of point-of-view issues.
Well, I was watching the Science Channel’s “Beyond Tomorrow” and a commercial came on [...]

New Apple Device, I’m guessing named iSlate.

For some reason, I’m thinking the new Apple product that is soon to drop and is supposed to sit between the iPhone and the MacBook Pro, will be named:
iSlate
Here is why. I watched as Me.com went through transition to ownership to Apple. The same thing is happening with iSlate.com, at least in my opinion [...]

The Lifesaver Bottle – A real life saver if you can afford it.

I’m a huge fan of technology, I try to get the latest gadgets, and if I can’t, I read all about them. This led me to TED.COM, a great site to learn about some new technologies that are deserving of more mainstream attention. You can subscribe to them as a PodCast on iTunes, even in [...]

Kindle under attack, DRM issues continue.

The Kindle continues to be a hot issue, something I thought would go away rather quickly since the channels I’ve read, people I’ve spoken to, and up until this last week the general noise has been rather weak. But now, Ars Technica reports about a hubbub brewing over the Kindle DRM. I’m surprised the same [...]

What Temp does the Kindle burn at?

~233 °C
That was the response to the question in the title of this entry. It is interesting because I thought the teapot had stopped making noise. Concerning the deletion of 1984 from Kindles around the world, but no, an attempt at class action status based on the deletion [and the notes contained therein], has reopened [...]
