Radio Bump Reply Hazy, try again. Thursday, July 12, 2001 O'Reilly Network: Extending the Life Line of the Palm OS I have to say that, as I returned to the Palm platform after the loss of my iPaq, that the connection software seems a bit old fashioned to me now. It doesn't really seem like it has been revamped in a long while. Also, they still rely on third parties for even their integration with Outlook. Sure they bundle the software in the box, but this is an essential part of what their software does. Just from my own outside opinions, it seems like Palm is missing the boat on a lot of things. Each of their licensees has innovated in some way, but it would be nice if they could tie all of those innovations together moving forward. 5:58:12 PM discuss []
Now, I'm not saying this is in good taste, but IsDickCheneyDeadYet.com ??? Is this something that merits it's own blog? I mean let's take this as seriously as possible. Is this person damaging the whole medium of blogging? Devaluing the very existence of "serious" blogs? In another case of dot com's over staffing, the site claims to have three staffers monitoring Dick Cheney. Do you really need three people for that or are they trying to burn through some VC money? I guess I just don't see a revenue model here. 5:36:28 PM discuss []
"Hello my friend!!!" If you're ever at the corner of Marietta and Cone streets in Atlanta GA, you owe it to yourself to visit this man and pick up a fantastic smoothie. If you're lucky, you may turn out to be his friend. (link, picture and text courtesy of n0d.org) 11:15:44 AM discuss []
Dan Gillmor: Microsoft's desktop `concession' taken from same old bag of tricks
Frankly, this is too little too late for this market segement. Microsoft managed to kill off any real viable alternative to Internet Explorer. Hold on, I know you are thinking "there's Mozilla, iCab, Opera" Well think about it this way, think of all the improvements that could have been made to Netscape if they had been able to charge for their software. Think of the innovations we might have seen had they been able to sink a huge, revenue based, R & D effort behind their browser. Well here we are in 2001, and the browser hasn't really moved very far from 1998-9. This is Microsoft's fault, and we need our government to step up to the plate here and not cave and settle. 10:36:43 AM discuss []
