The T-Mobile G1: Can You Say Paradigm Shift?

The G1 event has come and gone and it looks like we’re seeing an epic paradigm shift in the mobile space. iPhone started the ball rolling and Android is about the finish the job. The change? Phones are now officially computers and the expectation for most users is that they behave in the same way a powerful laptop or desktop PC would perform, albeit in a considerably more compact package.
I was struck by something during the G1 presentation today and it took me a quite a while to figure out what it was. Back in 1997-98 while I was at Carnegie Mellon we were at a crossroads in IT. The web was taking off in a general way and email was king for college students. The school was full of computer clusters - some Mac, some PC, and some greenscreen Unix dumb terminals in the library running X Windows. While the Macs and PCs were easy to understand and run, you could just tell that the Unix machines were like an iceberg - 98% of the power is under water, unseen by the average user. Putting the G1 through its paces showed a intense attention to detail on the part of Google and a tacit promise from the phone that it was far more powerful than originally described. This is G1’s blessing and curse.

Apple ‘Brick’ Rumors

Another recipe of hot new rumors over the Internet suggests that a new Macbook update codenamed the ‘Brick’ might be in works and will officially be unveiled by Apple in mid-October this year.
While some speculate it to be the new Apple Macbook Touch, other have theories that the ‘Brick’ might be a software or even the highly rumored Apple iTablet. However there is no source to confirm either of these theories yet.

No te gusta la nueva version de Facebook?


Hace un tiempo que Facebook renovó su cara y es cierto que a muchos les agrado bastante, pero al parecer son mas a los que les disgusto, ya que han salido muchos posts en blogs e inclusive grupos masivos en el mismo Facebook rechazando la nueva versión, que es mucho mas complicada a primera vista, ya que todas las opciones están separadas, no como antes que teníamos todo en la misma ventana, aunque parezca increíble hay un descontento tan grande que existe un grupo de mas de 2 millones de usuarios y otro en Español de mas de 180 mil usuarios descontentos que gritan, No me gusta el nuevo Facebook!!

Windows 7 Beta para Octubre!


El debut de Windows 7 para todo el publico se espera para el 3 de junio del 2009, demasiado pronto creo yo, no quiero pensar que a Microsoft le pase una nueva mala jugada con esto de apresurar la salida de los sistemas operativos, ya que los únicos que pierden con todo esto son los usuarios.

It's Time for a New Terms of Service Regime
Yesterday's flare-up about the Terms of Service for Google's new browser Chrome, followed by the company's rapid backtracking on the demands it was making of users, left many people wondering about Google ToS in general.
Is it ok for service providers to require that they be exempt from the copyright norm of no re-use without explicit permission? We don't think it is.

Photosynth: View and Create 3D Panoramas

Recently Microsoft released the final version of its long-in-beta web app called Photosynth.
Photosynth gives users the ability to view and create 3D Panoramas and virtual tours. Basically it takes a collection of regular photographs and reconstructs the scene or object in a 3-D environment.
Photosynth is potent mixture of two independent breakthroughs: the ability to reconstruct the scene or object from a bunch of flat photographs, and the technology to bring that experience to virtually anyone over the Internet.
The Photosynth viewer allows user to zoom in/out, view in 3D/2D and circle through next and previous frames. Below you can see some screenshots of 3D panoramas of Taj Mahal, Smith Tower and the Sphinx.

"Facebook Helped Me Win," Claims Politician

In Tampa, Florida, one of the cities that comprises the megalopolis known as the Tampa Bay area, home to Busch Gardens, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and only minutes from beautiful beaches on the Gulf Coast of Florida (oh, and this author's stomping grounds, too), a local politician is giving credit to Facebook for his recent win in the primaries for the local County Commission.
On Facebook, the crowd is still very young, with an average age of 22.96 as of this February. Typically, the youth vote, although coveted, could not be counted on thanks to low turnout of young voters at the polls. However, this small time local election may prove to be one of the first examples of the huge impact Gen Y can have on the political process.
Now that many members of Gen Y are of voting age, their sheer numbers can no longer be ignored by politicians. The biggest generation since the baby boomers, Gen Y has been poorly characterized by some as lazy, unfocused, and self-centered - a generation that would just as soon stay home with mom and dad than go out and climb the corporate ladder. While it may be true that Gen Y has the good financial sense to maximize their time in rent-free accommodations, they are certainly proving themselves the opposite of lazy when it comes to involvement, be it social involvement, community involvement, or political involvement. Considering this recent "Facebook-powered" win, it could be that this generation is all talk and all action, too.
According to Rearden Killion Communications, the St. Petersburg advertising firm that handled the campaign of Kevin Beckner in the District Six democratic primary for the Hillsborough County Commission, the Facebook effort comprised of content, video production, and media buying valued at around $7000. There was also a Facebook app which let supporters put a campaign button on their own pages and provided a link to Beckner's page. The overall effort increased Beckner's Facebook group membership by 50 percent.

YouTube To Squeeze More Money Out of Homepage

You’ll notice very few ad units while surfing YouTube, and none at all while watching videos contributed by ordinary folk like you or me. The reason? Google fears the legal repercussions of monetizing user generated content that may infringe on somebody else’s copyright.
But YouTube’s homepage is different since it merely displays thumbnails that may lead to infringing content. And it has capitalized on that page by selling a video ad unit in the upper right-hand corner for $175,000 per day (plus a commitment to buy $50,000 more in advertising elsewhere on YouTube or Google).
