Specifically, these are the words “just” and “should“:
- I’m just going to … (check email for a second, give that person a call, etc.)
- I should be doing blah or bleh.They both deny some aspects of reality.
Go for the full article; it’s really worth it.
But that tradition was somehow lost in the Korean War and buried conclusively in Vietnam. Nowadays, dynamic young leaders can’t emerge as quickly, because almost no one is fired. In a much-discussed 2007 article in Armed Forces Journal, Lt. Col. Paul Yingling wrote that “a private who loses a rifle suffers far greater consequences than a general who loses a war.
No puedo evitar establecer una comparación entre esto y lo que le ocurre a una empresa de tecnología cuando se hace grande, en lo tocante a sus managers y la pérdida de competitividad.
Ironía de hilo fino. Desgrana y expone una a una y de una manera muy inteligente las técnicas de marketing que Apple tan bien utiliza para vender sus nuevos productos.
Uh, oh, aquí llegan los iAds. De una primera lectura, no parece algo tan salvaje como lo que hace Google, pero cuando una compañía de tecnología se mete en el negocio de la publicidad, mal asunto para la privacidad.
This adds up to what has been happening during the last two years, and it’ll continue this way if Nokia does nothing to address the high-end market. What’s happening there is affecting the brand and will in the future jeopardize its presence in the market.
Instead of going down the X5 path Nokia needs to focus in one model, hardware and software, and get it right. But even then I’m not sure it’ll avoid a rather nasty scenario for them.
At least in sites like this. Try it with and without Safari Reader and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
In the other hand, when reading a site with good design in mind like this, using Reader doesn’t even cross my mind. And that’s because the whole site experience is adding value to you, the reader.
I really think despite the nice features (3D display, 3D camera) Nintendo has lost the war of portable casual gaming. Phones won it. There’s still opportunity in the kid market though.
La Facua lleva a Google a la Audiencia Nacional por la toma de datos que realizó StreetView en WiFis de ciudadanos españoles:
La iniciativa de la organización se basa en el artículo 197 del Código Penal según el cual: “El que, para descubrir los secretos o vulnerar la intimidad del otro, sin su consentimiento (…) intercepte sus telecomunicaciones o utilice artificios técnicos de escucha, transmisión, grabación o reproducción del sonido o de la imagen, o de cualquier otra señal de comunicación, será castigado con las penas de prisión de uno a cuatro años y multa de doce a veinticuatro meses”
Se veía venir.
This is hurting Apple image a lot. A guess that’s what happens when you link yourself to companies that are not up to the quality standard you follow.
Pretty straightforward but a bit delusional. I can’t seem to find Google ads at any place in the demo. I’ve got to say though that the concept seems the closest thing I’ve ever seen yet to what I’d like to see at my living room.
Round and round this goes, with the people committed to saving newspapers demanding to know “If the old model is broken, what will work in its place?” To which the answer is: Nothing. Nothing will work. There is no general model for newspapers to replace the one the internet just broke.
As always, a must read.
First, restricting their news sites to paid subscription-only, and now this. These guys just don’t get it.
The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.
Not to mention one of this huge deposits is of the critical tech industry metal Lithium. I agree this is good news for Afghanistan, if it eventually translates in the wealth and progress of its citizens. But there’s also another question:
At the same time, American officials fear resource-hungry China will try to dominate the development of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth, which could upset the United States, given its heavy investment in the region.
Uh, oh. Guess who’s not leaving the country anytime soon.
Nice review of a nice application with good intentions, but I’m afraid this is just yet another proof that Apple is contributing to create a huge information and content management problem with their iTunes-as-a-broker and the apps-as-content-silos strategy.
iOS4 clearly falls short in its capabilities to manage files, versions, synchronization and sharing, not to say in providing the tools to mitigate the problem. Developers are struggling to create relevant solutions to problems that can only be solved by services provided by the platform. Apple needs here to dramatically boost their operating system capabilities here; simplicity can’t be an excuse for not trying to find a better solution.
Ross Rubin, in the Switched On Engadget column:
But now the indications are stronger than ever that Apple will imbue its music player-turned-mobile platform into a carrier-free vehicle for bridging the space of face-to-face communications and the time between capturing video and editing it.
Apple (together with Nokia) is indeed the mobile phone manufacturer that’s closest to it. But this is not the carrier-free that matters the most. The carrier-free that’s still waiting to happen is when mobile device sales and data access services are totally decoupled, a model that will succeed when carriers are brave enough to design a valid go to market strategy for the growing number of data-connected devices.
The challenge is to stop controlling and subsidizing the terminal and start adding value to their side of things, that is, the access. As the number of connected devices per person grows, a competent contract model that’s appealing for both the end and corporate user is needed. Just thing about the cost of having a laptop 3G USB modem, a 3G-enabled phone and a 3G-enabled iPad. All of this when already paying for a DSL connection.
They know what to do. They just don’t have what it takes yet.
The problem with an Android phone running a phone manufacturer’s homebrew software, like HTC’s Sense or Sony’s TimeScape, is well known: You’re going to wait a lot longer to get the freshest version of Android
This is assuming normal users are aware there’s a freshest Android version, which is highly improbable.
I’d really like to believe this is the only fragmentation problem Android is getting. Fragmented hardware is doing Android a lot of damage, and it’s a real shame because this is what’s preventing me from considering it as an option right now.
I’ve gotta admit though that Froyo looks very tempting compared to the iOS4. In my opinion Apple mobile OS is OK today, but it’s gonna be a huge weakness in the next few months if Android keeps its improvement rate and Apple does nothing about it.
At last, a unified input device for Macs and iPads (my bet is the iPad will support it) that’s been long coming.
If it’s also true it’ll be supporting handwriting recognition, my Pogo Stylus is going to rock the world.
Update: seems a crafty mac user did a cardboard mockup using the leaked pictures. Dimensions look quite accurate.

Venera7 will be following El Jobso’s keynote as always from Engadget and MacRumors. No Gizmodo this year (we guess it’s their fault after all) unless they manage to somehow solve the situation they got in in the first place by hiring someone that purchased his way in.
Remember, the keynote will start at 10:00 am PST. This is 19:00h @ Spain mainland and 18:00h @ Canary Islands. We’ll be posting our opinions and comments are soon as new announcements are made by Steve. Let’s hope there’s some meat after the dessert Google brought us with Froyo!
