A new e-book from Matsushita that will last for six months on just two AA batteries. The Sigma has two 7.2-inch LCD panels set side by side to each other that conserve power by refreshing the screen only when a page is "turned," rather than sixty times a second like with most LCDs.

I would love for an aggregator to implement a feature like the rumored piles expected in OS X 10.3.
I subscribe to a lot of geeky sites. Many overlap somewhat, but the cloud they make up when taken altogether covers just about everything I want to keep up with. The downside of the overlap is that frequently, many of them will report on the same news, often without significant additional comment, and I waste time reading essentially the same news from 10 different weblogs.
I have been thinking the same thing. I think this would be a killer feature, and I wish Brent were working on it rather than "Smash View". I seem to be in the minority on the mailing list though. |

This is a long post, but I think it is worth reading for anyone remotely interested in the workings of venture capital. I think that Joi's openness does show him to be "not like other VCs." comment [] trackback [] 11:18:54 PM

Congratulations to Bill Bumgarner on his new position at Apple. I think it can only help the WebObjects group to have Bill on the team. Hope he finds it as cool to work at Apple as I think it would be. (Though I imagine it has its downsides, too--particularly in that it is so much larger than CodeFab.) comment [] trackback [] 11:12:05 PM

To my surprise, turns out OS X has native screen-locking built-in; though you wouldn't know unless you dug around. To enable it, open your Keychain Access utility in the Applications / Utility folder. Under the "View" menu at the top, select "Show Status in Menu Bar." A black padlock will appear in your taskbar in the upper right-hand corner. Close Keychain Access. Now when you click on the padlock, you have a "Lock Screen" option in the drop-down. Selecting it will cause your screen to fade to black and engage your screen saver. Click any key to open a login / password dialog box, and you're back in.
Quite a handy tip. I've been relying on Sailing Clicker's proximity feature recently to lock my screen when I'm away, but this is good to know, too. |
