This has to be seen to be believed ….
Check out this photostream of laptops and computers that people are putting a desktop pic on that exactly matches the actual background. The visual effect is as if your laptop screen is completely transparent.
Very cool! I’m sure it’s a ton of work to get it right, […]

It was very interesting to see that Apple has acquired SchemaSoft, a company that specializes in data munging … getting data translated between different formats, etc.
I’ve met and talked to the the CEO of SchemaSoft at an XML seminar half a year ago - a very clueful guy.
If memory serves, Schemasoft has done a lot […]

Well, well, well, the debate heats up.
I noticed Zeldman’s report from SXSW on the Flash versus HTML game show.
I’ve previously written that Flash and Ajax are starting to compete and noticed that toolkits for making Ajax easier are just starting to come out. The HTML crowd above included, as Zeldman says, designers of apps like […]

This one might be both at the same time: the dullest blog.
This blog totally captures, at one and the same time, the stupidity and vapidity you can find in blogs (why, after all, do I care that you clipped your toenails today). But at the same time, the dullest blog is a great example of […]

Google is a lot of things, and search is certainly at the top of the list …. but it’s also social software.
I just happened to see this post by Steve Woods … we used to work together on a now-defunct site called MacTimes (the domain is now owned by some site called Absolute Mac).

Oh dear. I don’t want the paper version anyways. I don’t read […]

C|Net is running this article on Apple’s potential plans to charge iPod peripheral manufacturers. Not smart, Apple.
History gets really boring when you realize that not only is is just one bloody thing after another, it’s the same bloody pattern repeated over and over again.
Remember Firewire, anyone? Apple tried originally to get something like $1.00 per […]

I hate hate hate hate hate these stories of giant corporations bullying people who in good faith registered domain names that they have a perfect right to own.
I’m talking, particularly, this story in which Kraft sued a Milka Budimir for her domain name, milka.fr … because Milka apparently is a brand name that Kraft has […]

I had to laugh when I saw a comment on software bloat over at the SubEthaEdit site:

While being a full fledged editor, we promise that SubEthaEdit will never become a bloated piece of software like other text editors.

I love the sentiment, even agree with it, but in reality this is very hard to do.
Why? Because […]
