Tuesday 19 June 2007

If you watch one online video this year, on bended knee, let it be this one. This is nearly as cool as the Microsoft Surface computing demo last month.

Steve Jobs: struggling to redefine the TV paradigm

Friday 15 June 2007

This is a fascinating article from Faultline (http://www.rethinkresearch.biz/) on what Steve Jobs is thinking Apple TV is for. As usual it isn't straightforward.

Steve Jobs: struggling to redefine the TV paradigm

The devil is in the detail for Apple TV

Comment Getting into the mind of Steve Jobs isn't all that simple, and sometimes you just have to wait until he tells you what went through his mind in order to explain the latest Apple phenomena. But the picture around Apple TV is starting to clear with some rumours and snippets revealed this week....

MYT Engine - an overhaul of the internal combustion engine

Wednesday 13 June 2007

I am not sure I believe it, but it is always nice to see a video of a real live mad professor with a karaoke microphone.

Lenovo's Thinkpad Reserve Edition?

Now this is a great thing to do. Put a laptop into a beautiful hide wallet. I carry my laptop around site here at the-oil-company-which-cannot-be-named and the feel of the antiseptic plastic case of my trusty Dell crap-top is not very pleasant in my hands. More leather is what I say. Car manufacturers cottoned on to the fact that if you make the steering wheel and the gear knob leather then you can make the rest of the car plastic. It takes a Chinese laptop manufacturer to come up with this great innovation. What good is Europe anyway?

There it is, Lenovo's Thinkpad Reserve Edition. According to our trusted insider, it's just the staid, Thinkpad design wrapped in cowhide. YeeHaw! Still maybe there's more than meets the eye, eh?

Boffins demo wireless electricity

What is the benefit of this technology? I must admit I do like the idea of it.

1. You wouldn't have to plug in your laptop to get a recharge.
2. Wireless mice which never need recharging.
3. Wall mounted televisions which don't need power cables chasing into the wall.

On the other hand, who cares.

Xerox: Web 2.0

Thursday 7 June 2007

I spent 15 minutes reading about this this drivel. That's 15 minutes I will never get back again. And to think I started my career at Xerox. How the mighty have fallen.

Emily is removed from Big Brother

Too bloody right. I am glad this woman was kicked out of Big Brother. The 'N' word is absolutely unacceptable in today's society. This girl is a dumb zarking blonde and she should be charged by the police. Before you think bad of me for the dumb zarking blonde comment, don't forget that the colour of her hair is something she can change.

For the record I don't watch Big Brother. No really, I don't....

OLED Heaven

Friday 1 June 2007

Apparently these OLEDs are 98 percent efficient, but don't quote me on that. What that means is that nearly all of the electricity is converted to light, so they are energy efficient and cool to the touch. Now if you combine large tabletop OLED screens with that Microsoft Milan surface computing demo they did the other day, then you could have something really interesting to play with during family breakfast.

Offline Web Applications

Now I often manage development projects and a barrier I keep coming up against is the problem that you have to be connected to the Internet to use an Internet application.  Not any more.

Those clever chaps and chapesses at google has come up with a clever way of doing offline webware.  It is possible with Google Gears to have a web application which works online and offline - yes you heard me - offline, ie. when you are not connected to the Internet it still works.  Google will be giving this away free to developers in a couple of months as part of their 'get-Microsoft' program.  I think they probably developed it so they can improve their current Google Docs and Spreadsheets offerings.  Whatever the reason I think it is a revolution...if it works.
