Tesla Motors, the automobile startup with backers that include Sergey Brin and Larry Page, held a party tonight to mark the launch of its Menlo Park storefront. The store, which is the company’s second, will be open to the general public beginning this Tuesday. Despite Tesla Motors’ well deserved reputation as a high-end car manufacturer, it is still very much a startup - the company’s $150 million in funding pales in comparison to coffers held ...

Putting YouTube on something is like a gang initiation for Valley companies. “Sure,” VCs say, “You’ve made a plastic robotic drink coaster with social networking capabilities. But does it have YouTube?” That said, Series 3 and HD TiVo owners will soon be able to download YouTube content through the TiVo dashboard. Series 2 owners, however, are out of luck because the H.264 used in the service can’t be added to Series 2 hardware. TiVo users ...

The first is an updated version with the same sized screen, a smaller form factor, and an improved interface.

As of yesterday afternoon, AOL has implemented Vidoop’s visual authentication system as part of its OpenID initiative, which was formally launched in February 2007. Vidoop, a startup that replaces usernames and passwords with image grids, partnered with AOL to provide its OpenID users with an extra layer of security. This delivers Vidoop a potential user base of about 100 million users. Unfortunately, AOL is still just an issuer of OpenID accounts - not a relying ...

Reader Brent reports: Hey Just a heads up…my iPhone, and looking at their forums, everyone else’s iPhones are bricks because the last step of their update process is to connect to the App store which can’t handle the traffic ...

Tucked away on the iPhone 2.0 version of Apple’s Application Store is a counter for the number of times that each application has been purchased . When this information is combined with an application’s price, and the uniform 30% that Apple pockets on each download, it is possible to know how much Apple is making from the App Store. As of 4PM (PST), that number hovers around $55,000. This is pretty incredible given that the ...

東京の五番街にあたる表参道のソフトバンク旗艦店から帰ってきたばかりだ。ソフトバンクは3G iPhoneの独占的キャリアで、7月11日午前7時（東部標準時7月10日午後6時）という早い時間から3G iPhoneが入手できる。 ビデオの男性は、サノヒロユキくん。彼こそアジアで最初に（香港が開店するのはもっと後だから）3G iPhoneを手にするひとだ。真夜中（東部標準時7月8日午前2時）にビデオと写真を撮ってきたばかりだ。ということは、ヒロユキくんと一緒にならんでいる15人はあと52時間も東京の酷暑をガマンしなければならないということだ。ブレているが細部まで映った別のビデオはこちら。 西洋からきたアップルファンでCrunchGearファンということでムリヤリ彼をインタビューすることができた。その要点はつぎのとおり。 ・すでに何人かの日本人ブロガー、テレビ、ラジオ局などからインタビューを受けた（ガイジンではボクが最初） ・彼は24才で7月11日に25才になる！ ・行列に並ぶため大学を4日サボった ・郷里の名古屋から東京までわざわざ230マイルもやってきた ・iPhoneの値段（213ドル）より旅費の方が高かった ・ソフトバンクの店には東部時間7月7日午後11時から並んでいる ・日焼けと退屈をしのぐのが大変だ ・決して頭がおかしいわけじゃない アップルジャパンにいいたい。是非彼にギフトバッグを用意して欲しいと。 [原文へ] （翻訳：shiro） タグ: CrunchGear, iPhone 【関連記事】 ［CG］中国にiPhoneを売り込むためレベニューシェアリングを諦めたアップル ［CG］日本人はiPhoneがキライ？ ［CG］日本のiPhoneウェブブラウジングはどこよりも安い ［CG］日本の調査、今度はiPhoneが一番人気だと・・・ ［CG］店頭アクチベーションしか認めないわけではない？
