Snap and jot
Category: Digital Cameras

toshibapdr.jpgThere are tons of three megapixels cameras on the market these days, and standing out from the crowd isn't too easy. TechTV takes a first look at a three megapixel camera, Toshiba's PDR-T30, that has one unique features that no other camera has: a touchscreen LCD which you can use to jot down notes about your pictures as your taking them. Brilliant.

Tablets, Telephones, and Digital Cameras.

I'm going to start diving into a better understanding of the MetaWeblog API. How does it account for synchronization. After using groove on multiple computers for years I'm a believer of multiple copies of the same data on the device you want at the time you want to pick it up. There is still much missing especially in the UI were's my list builder how do I tell the dang things what I want where and when?  Register: Start-up marries blogs and camera phones. The right way to do this, imho, is to connect the phone-to-weblog software through the MetaWeblog API, that way existing weblog users could participate, and new users would have choice of backend software. Any cellphone service provider that buys into this proposal will have to scrap it in a few months when the general solutions come out. Maybe less than a few months. Mobile blogging, or moblogging is very hot. So is choice for users. [Scripting News]

If you havent tried a tabed browser you should. He kind of does the same thing with the link bar and fast loading but he doesn't manage the space nicely. Haveing my favorite for or five sites preload at startup are great. launching new tabs for pages I want to get back to later make surfing somewhat asyncronious like email and allows me to go back to different information goals at the time I want. The tab histories are paths through knowledge and would be great food for an agent of my semantic web.

"We know you like our new Web browser, Safari, because there have been 285 million downloads. Did you know it's the most popular browser on the Internet? Well almost every one of the users has requested a tabbed interface, some many times. So we decided, what the heck, let's give them what they want."

Dave Hyatt, a member of the Safari team at Apple (that's their new Web browser) has a weblog, and there he responds to the issues raised by Mark Pilgrim. This is fantastic. This is how the Web is supposed to work. Bravo. [Scripting News] 10:26:04 AM    comment []


OK.  That's it.  My next computer is going to be an Apple.  After 18 years on a PC, I am ready to call it quits.  Windows is waaaay too much of a hassle for me to maintain.  Now to decide between a honking desktop, an iMac, or a massive laptop.  This is going to be my last computer purchase for at least three years (as opposed to a yearly schedule), so I need to make it last (I really don't care about portability).  Boy, I kinda feel like after buying an American SUV for the last half decade, I am ready to switch to a BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne.  [John Robb's Radio Weblog] 10:25:24 AM    comment []
