MacBook Air and Target Markets

Devin makes a number of entirely logical and valid points in his post while at the same time completely missing the point that sub-portable laptops ARE for people who want basic functions.

I looked at the demo on Apple’s site today and found myself lusting for one but then saying “well it doesn’t have an optical [...]

Gizmodo Lectures on Integrity

Brian Lam at Gizmodo must have took note of the upcoming Martin Luther King Day and decided that branding their prank as civil disobedience in the pursuit of the morally superior goal of irreverence while launching the “going on the offensive” PR strategy is a winner.

I really don’t give a crap about Gizmodo or their [...]

Lawmaking While Stupid

Is it not concerning to anyone else that the people who make laws about the technology in our lives seem to have very little awareness of it to begin with?

UPDATE: The other example of this that drives me bonkers are the people who talk about banning McDonald’s food because it is fattening while standing in [...]

Gift Card Secondary Market

One business research firm, TowerGroup in Massachusetts, has estimated that $7.8 billion will end up unredeemed for 2007, out of $97 billion in gift card value purchased by consumers. Dave Sievers, a consumer products and retail expert for Archstone Consulting in Stamford, Conn., believes that as many as 20 percent of gift cards [...]

Cisco Telepresence

I was down at Cisco yesterday and saw a demo of their telepresence setup and the “connected sports” concept they are promoting for the new stadium the Oakland A’s want to build in Fremont.

The telepresence demo blew me away. Sure it’s pricey at up to $300k per setup, but the experience is amazing and removes [...]

Blog-Tagged

Craig tagged me and while I’ve done my best to avoid this over the years, I will play along.

My mission is to disclose 8 things about myself and tag 8 more bloggers:

I met my wife on an flight to JFK that ended up being delayed on the ground in SFO for [...]

Gizmodo’s Prank at CES

I guess I need to weigh in on the Gizmodo CES prank because, well, I need to pump up my Techmeme ranking (just kidding Gabe). The Gear Diary post doesn’t have a lot of links to it yet so rather than linking to the Gizmodo post and getting lost in the noise, I’ll link to [...]

The Slippery Guvernator

This is similar to when companies say that they are reducing headcount by not hiring as many people as they planned to…

“To address next year’s $14 billion deficit, in two days I will submit a budget that is difficult,” he said. “It does not raise taxes. It cuts the increase in spending. And [...]
