The iPhone and the Ensuing Wireless Broadband Boom (12)
on
GigaOM (75) permalink
I have been saying for some time that the launch of the 3G iPhone was going to jump-start the demand for wireless broadband. The subsequent release of additional web-friendly mobile phones (we like to call them superphones ) — the Samsung Instinct, the BlackBerry Bold, the Google Phone, and Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X-1 — that use 3G wireless networks has now shifted that demand into high gear. According to data collected by Chetan Sharma Consulting, ...Shared by ~C4Chaos (0) Alex (5) Michael (11) Mustafa (8) Nate (28) p0ps (1) Rahul Gaitonde (13) rhett mcnulty (0) Tim (1) Todd Mundt (0) Tom Parish Inc.

Put change.gov Under Revision Control! (89)

O'Reilly Radar - Insight, analysis, and research about emerging technologies (82) permalink
Last week, the New York Times wrote about Changes at change.gov: The policy section of the transition site was removed without notice just days after Change.gov went live shortly after the election. At the time a spokesman for the Obama-Biden transition effort said they were “re-tooling” it. There was an almost instantaneous outcry from bloggers and other advocates of transparency in government who noticed disappearance. At least one site posted a complete archive of the ...Shared by Adam Maldonado (18) Ade (2) Alex (5) Amit Chowdhry (92) Ari Herzog (1) arshad (12) Avi Flax (4) ax0n (26) Ben (0) Ben (3) Benjamin J.

- umbrae said: What a great idea. Not just for change.gov, but for political policy in general.
- Robert Banghart said: I think this is a great idea and that change.gov appears to be open to ideas that will aid transparency. That leaves the question of how to get the word to change.gov. Why not give them a link to your post or just cut and paste it into http://change.gov/page/content/contact/?

Image:withrow When thinking of snowflakes and frost, your memory tends to give you subtle hints: it’s translucent, abstract, beautiful and short-lived. Nothing however, can prepare you for what abstract masterpieces icy nights may bring. Flourishes of Jack Frost’s brushstrokes envelop windscreens in fractal crystal and transform into icy autumn leaves, crystal ferns and mathematical shapes. Jack Frost is an abstract artist. Perhaps the beauty of frost lies precisely in the fact that it is ephemeral, ...Shared by ac (9) adam (152) Alberto (24) Allen Sentance (23) Allen Sentance (26) AmyVernon (196) Ananya Walia (64) André R.
