Sticking w/Flock

I’ve been using the Firefox v3 beta for the last couple of weeks to see how it behaved and I’m going back to Flock, which has been revved to version 1.1.

The problem with Firefox on the Mac is twofold. First and foremost, it is still not a well behaved application in terms of memory [...]

Is venture capital’s love affair with Web 2.0 over?

The worst thing that happened in these last couple of years is that damn versioning of what is a simply the broader continuum of the evolving web. Define web 2.0… just try it and you will see the futility.

What is coming to a close is the notion that all online services need to be free [...]

Automoblox

These are very cool. The only thing that would make them better is to hook up an online CAD program to a CNC machine to let site visitors build their own concept car components.

Yahoo’s Three-Year Plan: Grow Revenues 73 Percent

It would be easy to look at the plan Yahoo put out and suggest they are smoking crack. Seriously, if they could grow revenues to the degree that they are projecting in this economy, they are superstars in my book.

Of course if they did I’d be inclined to suggest that Jerry Yang is actually Eric [...]

Moguls Set To Approach the Sound Barrier

More fun than being the governor of New York.

At 704 miles an hour, the new plane’s top speed approaches the speed of sound. The new G650 has a range of 7,000 nautical miles, which means it will be able to reach most of the world nonstop from New York, save for Antarctica, Madagascar, [...]

Rosedale to step down as Linden Lab CEO

“The company has the type of financial performance that if it wanted to it could become a public company,” said Benchmark’s Bill Gurley, who sits on the Linden Lab board. “I certainly think at some point in the future — and I’m certainly not announcing anything new here for the next 12 months [...]

Mainstreaming of FriendFeed

I think FriendFeed is pretty cool, but I still don’t know why it’s a must have. So it aggregates a wide range of social networks and media to present a social feed… but why should you or anyone else care? What value is this creating in my life? But none of this is stopping the [...]
