  • Free Starbucks Wifi for iPhones AND Macbooks?

    Free Starbucks Wifi for iPhones AND Macbooks?

    I just read over on Gizmodo, by way of Macrumors that the AT&T/Starbucks wifi access deal is starting up offering free Wifi internet access to iPhone customers. Sounds great to me – IF I actually had an iPhone. I do, however, have a Macbook Pro, with the latest version of Safari, Apple’s speedy fast web…

  • IM First Steps for Mobile Web-Apps

    IM First Steps for Mobile Web-Apps

    Instant Messaging while on the go – It’s increasingly more essential, yet with many current software/hardware offerings, increasingly more frustrating.  I carry a Blackberry Curve 8300, which has its strengths and weaknesses. The hardware is actually decent, well built, good screen etc. The software, however, is absolutely worthless. It honestly feels like a 1st try…

  • Will This Blog Kill Me?

    Thanks to a link from Robert Scoble’s Scobleizer, I’m now fearing for my life. The New York Times just ran a piece on the blogger culture, where bloggers are paid by the post. They stress to the max to stay on top of the latest trends, churn out posts, and make their blog rise, or…

  • 3G iPhone and the Sad State of “Broadband”

    Recently at the Beet.TV Executive Summit in Washington, Wall Street Journal writer Walt Mossberg spoke on the convergence of computer and TV entertainment, internet bandwidth, and the importance regulation/deregulation from the top. I’m with Walt on this. The critical step for converging TV and computer content/entertainment, and allowing us to take the next step in…
