How many of you made the switch from Windows 3.11 (or WFW 3.1) to Windows 95? Come on.. I know there’s more of a couple of you that have. What was one of the biggest difference between the two OSs? Better network drivers? Improved memory management? Unified driver model? I would hazard to say that one of the biggest differences was the ability to do most operations in the OS in more than one way. ...

I have recently received an invitation to try out the relatively new lifestreaming aggregator Strands and since lifestreaming is one of the hottest trends these days I wanted to give it a try and share my thoughts here for anyone who may be considering trying another lifestreaming service or looking for strong alternatives to FriendFeed. My personal impression is that Strands is definitely a strong alternative even now when it is in invite-only beta testing ...

Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds Yeah, the wait for October 22 (or after) is absolutely excruciating; trust us, we know. We'll take every scrap of information and imagery we can to hold us over until G1s start showing up on doorsteps in a few weeks, but T-Mobile's really gone above and beyond the call of duty here by setting up a surprisingly functional and feature-complete emulator to satisfy our urges to touch icons and click buttons. ...

The emulator sucks, half the buttons and functions don't function (correctly). Pretty cool as a demo of a new operating system though.

There’s a common misconception that Google’s “next-gen” web platform called Gears only (or even primarily) enables offline capabilities for web applications. The truth of the matter is that Google’s ambitions are far greater, and the browser extension’s capabilities are more multifarious, than this reputation suggests. Gears has been available for over a year now, with the first version released not too far back in May 2007. You can see the whole version history here, but ...

Geolocation - For mobile devices that can determine the user’s current location, Gears makes this geolocation information available to applications running within the browser. The geolocation API can be used to identify the user’s position once or to watch it over time as the user moves around. Permission to access a user’s position must be granted through a special dialog, preventing unwanted snooping.

It pains me to write on this topic. I sincerely thought that the basic tenet of Social Media – transparency – was becoming well understood among marketers. But, the experience I’m about to describe makes me think that abuse of this principle may actually be widespread. I feel angry and naive. All names – and even industries – have been changed to protect the innocent (and I daresay “the guilty” get a pass too, as ...

Blog search engine Technorati recently tried to re-invent itself as a memetracker of sorts, changing its homepage to reflect the most popular blog posts at a given point in time. Today, Google Blog Search – long just a blog-focused version of the company’s core search engine – has followed Technorati’s lead and launched a destination site of its own. Much like Technorati, Google Blog Search now organizes posts into a variety of topics – such ...

When the iPhone was first released, there was an abundance of speculation over whether the phone’s lack of Flash support would cripple its browser and give us something less than “the real web” that Apple had promised. At the time, Steve Jobs explained that the full version of Flash wouldn’t run well on the iPhone (the iPhone runs on an ARM11 chip, which doesn’t play nice with Flash), but that Adobe’s Mobile Flash was lacking ...

I agree that Flash on the iPhone would be just as much of a pain as anything. I love flashblocker on Firefox because it lets me turn of flash virtually everywhere.

A number of startups have attempted to address this problem with ingenious solutions that range from iPhone apps to custom URLs. Others are calling for the use of QR Codes for mobile data exchange. Unfortunately, no one service has hit the sweet spot just yet, but newcomer "E" thinks they have it ...

If you were thinking about pre-ordering the T-Mobile G1 and just didn't get around to it yet, it looks like you're out of luck, since they've sold out. While there definitely won't be anything like iPhone launch day madness, don't be surprised if the launch supply is exhausted by demand and they're a bit scarce in the immediate aftermath. How many of you guys pre-ordered one? Update: Official word from T-Mobile is that there was ...
