Hank Williams points out that the front page of the Angelsoft website is really great. For those that don't know Angelsoft is a free web service that many angel investors use to manage their deal flow. We've looked into using it to manage our deal flow and I wish we could use it, but we don't currently.

Streaming vs File-Based Media (10)
onImage via Wikipedia I've been a huge fan of the streaming model vs the file based model for as long as I've been thinking about digital media. I wrote this about streaming vs files in the digital music business last summer:File based music has to exist today because there is no good mobile broadband internet solution. When you are at the gym, in the car, on a run, you have to have files to listen ...Shared by Alan Veeck (10) gsiener (16) Jason L (20) Mario (30) Murat Kahraman (4) NYLVI (4) Riaz (21) Rob (132) Ryan S (45) Vincent van Wylick (20)

I’m continually amazed by the interviewing conducted by US media in ‘hard-hitting’ interviews, so much so that on seeing the clip below, I thought that finally something was going right with the US news channels. Turns out this was an isolated case, and that the McCain campaign has now pulled out of doing an interview with Larry King becase “The McCain campaign said it believed that exchange was over the line and as a result ...Shared by Riaz (21)Contribute comment -

In a perfect technology world, every Web site and every Web application would perform the same way across all Web browsers, operating systems and mobile devices. But we're not in a perfect world, and Web surfers' experiences are being increasingly determined by browser-specific plug-ins, third party applications and tie-ins with the host operating system. The result makes it less likely that one Web browser user can make a switch, after having invested in one specific ...Shared by Alex (17) Alex (102) atul (75) bhc3 (54) dobata (366) Drew Olanoff (144) Duncan (82) Jamieasp (21) Jeff (51) jon bradford (16) Justin Korn (20) Le prof.

Maximum Download Speeds Will Always Vary, Caps or Not (9)
onOver the last week, there was a lot of talk around Comcast instituting a 250 gigabyte cap on your downloads for a 30-day period. The Web's collective opinion has always tended to believe in unmetered, unlimited access to just about anything, without censorship, so the news of restrictions had many up in arms. But the truth is, you'd have to really go out of your way to reach the cap, and be downloading around the ...Shared by Bryan (24) carmilevy (21) Drew Olanoff (144) louisgray (148) Mike F (460) Riaz (21) Rick Turoczy (66) Rob (132) Robert Scoble (70)Contribute comment

Despite the best efforts of various TV and music organisations, I’m more convinced than ever that content simply has to be made available for free, and monetised in a method other than subscriptions or Pay Per View. Almost every day, there’s a new push by various industry groups to penalise file sharers, which is about as effective as trying to stop ants coming into your garden. But regardless, the focus on P2P file sharing seems ...Shared by Badger Gravling (56) Riaz (21)Contribute comment -

Sony’s planning on making a splash in the augmented reality world. At the Games Conference in Liepzig, Germany they showcased the EyePet, a game set to hit the stores in late 2009, which uses the PlayStation Eye camera to allow users to interact with a small monkey-like-thing onscreen (set to explode from cuteness). The system also enables you to draw items on real paper which then pop out of it and turn into 3D objects ...Shared by jocabaleiro (19) Riaz (21)Contribute comment -

Why Did Our Eyes Evolve For 'X-Ray' Vision? (2)

The advantage of using two eyes to see the world around us has long been associated solely with our capacity to see in 3-D. Now, a new study from a scientist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has uncovered a truly eye-opening advantage to binocular vision: our ability to see through things. Most animals — fish, insects, reptiles, birds, rabbits, and horses, for example — exist in non-cluttered environments like fields or plains, and they have eyes ...Shared by AminEd (20) Riaz (21)Contribute comment -
