Apple's Newton Just Won't Drop. Apple killed the Newton handheld computer in 1998. It should have gone away, but thousands of fans still use it and keep its applications current. By Leander Kahney. [Wired News]

Cool. There's a picture of some Toronto users taken just outside the CBC building where I work.


.< 11:41:35 PM >

Semantic Studios: Ambient Findability. I want to be able to find anything, anywhere, anytime. What's surprising is how close we are to making this impossibly strange dream a reality. Ambient interfaces, sensors and small tech are about to intertwingle the physical and virtual worlds in shocking ways that will make history of the Diamond Age. [Tomalak's Realm]

A cool cowpoke gets political. Steve Earle, a new disc under his belt, talks about his tumultuous career -- a hair-raising ride that has included many wives, an ugly romance with heroin, and watching a man die. [Salon.com]

MONTREAL -- Atom Egoyan, no complainer, tirelessly fusses over details at the Musee d'art contemporain de Montreal as technicians apply the finishing touches to the wall text the day before the premiere of his latest art installation, Out of Use.  FULL STORY [The Globe and Mail: Arts]

Meanwhile another Egoyan is in Venice doing a sound installation.

NY Times: "The iMac, a graceful piece of art whose astonishingly thin screen floats in air on a gleaming chrome elbow, sells well enough. But whenever a Windows PC maker tries something similar, buyers stay away in droves."  [Scripting News]

Earth Summit wants to know if Canada will sign Kyoto
Interest is growing in South Africa over a speech that will be delivered by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien next week: will he or won't he announce that Canada will ratify the Kyoto accord? F U L L   S T O R Y

St-r-r-i-k-e? If It Happens, Fans Can Keep Their Eyes on the Ball. BaseballLibrary.com is a hulking colossus of online baseball arcana, a blog-and-encyclopedia hybrid that can serve up ample portions of the most obscure baseball history. By Marc Weingarden. [New York Times: Technology]
Pretty cool. And they're hip enough to send a hearty welcome to bloggers. I like this: today's 'flashback' is 'Baseball Crosses the Border', and of course it's about the Expos arriving in Montréal.


.< 12:54:32 AM >

More Tech Toys for Digital Music Fans. The first DataPlay player on the market is the iRiver iDP-100, made by iRiver America in San Jose, Calif. Costing $350, it resembles a frozen hamburger sandwiched between two sheets of iMac-like plastic. By Michel Marriott. [New York Times: Technology]

WordPerfect Gets New Life in Deal with 2 PC Makers. Just as WordPerfect, the once-popular word processing software, was at risk of slipping from the computer world's consciousness, it is set to appear on millions of new screens. By Bernard Simon. [New York Times: Technology]
