There is a rather active anti-database movement afoot these days. I initially chalked this up to the same “XML is going to replace databases” craziness that I heard back in the 90s but you can’t argue with the successes that some Web 2.0 companies have had going off traditional RDBMS architectures. I still think it’s far too early in the game to declare SQL dead, or really even in trouble, but it’s an interesting topic ...

Robots may be impressive and occasionally frightening things that will some day rule our lives and societies, but right now they're rather co-dependent, unable to even recharge themselves without a helping hand. The latest from robo-startup Willow Garage is different, a bot called PR2 that's capable of maneuvering through a crowded office, opening (non-locked) doors, and pilfering a little taste of that good, good, alternating current juice. What's more, he's sensitive to your time constraints, ...

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, iPod Family, iPhoneHere at TUAW central, we fell into a debate last night about the merits and tradeoffs of MiFi and the iPhone.

For $149 for the equipment (there's a $50 rebate), and for $60/month, you get up to 5GB of WiFi based data that you can tether and share. The MiFi has a fairly limited WiFi ...

Ryan Carson, who is taking care of all the conference logistics, was pretty sure we’d be able to book larger event spaces, so we allowed even more people to register... we’ve got 2388 people booked worldwide so far, including over 800 in London, but it’s clear ...
