I recently purchased a second hand Macbook Air which has a 64GB solid state drive. It is a really nice (and light) piece of kit and is ideal for carrying about when you are either travelling or on the move. To be fair, with the brigthness taken down
You can now put linux onto your shiny iPhone. Linux Kernel 2.6 has been ported across and it will work on the 1st / 2nd Generation iPhone / Touch devices.It is still does not have many drivers but it seems that the Frame buffer
I've always thought that they iPhone is the closest thing you can have to a mobile laptop in your pocket. One of the things I always liked on my old Palm was the Bluetooth keyboard that you could use if you had long emails or documents to compose
I bought my wife a Nokia 5310 MusicExpress phone recently. She had used the 6210i for a long time and wanted something that had the same ease of use but that was slim, had a radio, and allowed her to play music. The 5310 was ideal. My wi
From the press some of the initial iPhone apps have been getting, it seems that there are going to be quite a few Apple iPhone App Store millionaires this year ! So why not write your own and join the crowd ? Don't know Objective C or XCode - th
I recently installed the new Windows File Explorer for the SMEStorage platform. It provides a windows based file manager for Amazon S3 and allows you to upload / download files as well as allowing you to easily file sharing by just clicking a button
After the phenomenal success of the Apple App Store it looks like TMobile are following their lead after flicking the switch on their Dev Partner program. As with the Apple App Store program applications have to be verified at the programmers ex
At the moment the only way to get your iPhone working on another network to the local network it was purchased to work on is by using a piggyback SIM. You can unlock your iPhone but this only allows you to install applications that are not from
Making sure any information is removed from a phone is becoming more and more difficult. To do this on a Nokia E90 do the following: (i) Go to 'Settings' > "Factory Settings" - "Restore Factory Settings"
There have been lots of talk about cloud services but the oldest and one of the best is probably Amazon S3 which provides large amounts of free storage. With one catch - it really only provides an API to interact with its bucket structure
You hear about 3D printing here and there, but for the most part it's a bit irrelevant to the average person because fabrication is messy, difficult, and prohibitively expensive. Even dedicated DIYers have to get their stuff custom made. Hopefully that will all change with Shapeways, a new service which bills itself as a sort of Etsy for 3D models.
The Press Association: Third of teachers want Creationism — All the press material I’ve seen in England is very carefully worded as if it was orchestrated.
Three in 10 science teachers believe creationism should be taught in science lessons, according to a new survey.
And more than a third 37% of primary and secondary teachers in [...]
There is a Santa Claus. There isn't a Santa Claus. The deal about Santa? The same goes for his elves, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, God, and the Halloween Ghosts and Goblins.
As you may have noticed from some of my recent posts (here and here), I have been spending some time lately thinking about the ActionScript 2 to ActionScript 3 transition. I am working on some stuff to make this transition easier (especially for non-developers), but I wanted to make a quick post and get the community’s input.
How can we make the transition from ActionScript 2 to ActionScript 3 easier? I am specifically interested in input from anyone who does not consider themselves hardco
A blogger and a software developer from United Kingdom posted the following:"Having just received some photos from a source I will not name, it is truly horrific to actually see what is going on there, I mean this is the sort of stuff that
This is the third post in our six part series on Service Virtualization in Enterprise Application Development. The series covers how service virtualization complements hardware virtualization with the ability to reduce cost and increase business agility across the entire software lifecycle. The complete white paper on Service Virtualization in Enterprise Application Development can be downloaded from itko.com.
In this post, we move from hardware virtualization approaches to the service virtual
I often tell stories about companies who treat their customers or developers as if they were idiots. But that's not to say my own company, the one I started, didn't do this too -- it did. It's human nature, but it's bad human nature, it's self-defeating, it's dysfunctional.
When I heard someone say a customer was stupid, I said if that's true we're really fucked.
Here's how I reasoned...
1. We have to believe our customers are the smartest people, because they were smart enough to choose the b
A friend recently pointed out a cool gadget to me that deserves a brief mention on this blog. It is a dog safety collar from Auroralites that uses electroluminescent ("EL") technology to provide a long-lived and bright safety light for your night-time walkies. The product is already being used by police, search & rescue, FBI, and other security K-9 teams, and is now also available for civilian use. The collar is shock proof, water resistant and soft, so they won't break teeth. They

As part of my life of nerdiness, I’ve attended animation festivals since I was in high school in the late-ish 80s. At Cal (1989-1993), I would work the shows when Spike and Mike’s Festival of Animation came to school (it paid $5/hr!). Computers were also (obviously) an interest, and each year one company would produce a computer animated short that was always loved at the festival — Pixar. I was an eager audience member for Toy Story, and have seen every Pixar film, except for
A tweet from Jeff Jarvis:
My son says his problem with Twitter is too much Twittering about Twitter. Judging by today, he’s right. And I just added to it.
That used to be the case with blogging when it first started. Every other post (including mine) was about blogging. Blog blog blog blog.
If you want to get out ahead of the curve when the next new social writing phenomenon happens, be the one who never writes about it.
(BTW, I’m dweinberger at Twitter.)

Are you a software developer applying to a small company?
Here’s a tip from someone who has read thousands of resumes. When you’re applying to a startup, or a software company with less than, say, 100 employees, you may want to highlight the Banging Out Code parts of your experience, while deemphasizing the Middle Management parts of your experience.
When a startup CTO sees a resume that says things like:
Responsible for $30m line of business
Architected new ERP platform
Managed team
Just wanted to share a reply I made on GetSatisfaction to provide a historical perspective to the question "What really is the future of ColdFusion?". Before you ask what the future holds, its good to look back to see where ColdFusion has been since...
David Luckham started a complexevents.com discussion on what lies in store for CEP in 2009. We won’t re-create that discussion, but instead look at probably the biggest challenge facing CEP: the terminology! There is nothing wrong or odd with businesses having complex (or abstract) events, and requiring detection of said events in a timely fashion with an appropriate reaction; however, many many applications already do this in some restricted way or other. So what differentiates CEP tech
I took these pictures at the Stanford Shopping Center during the week after Christmas. Money sure talks now…
There were a handful of stores without sales signs, but only one didn’t offer discounts and had lots of people in it. :-) We all definitely have our work cut out for ourselves in 2009. As a wise man once said, “Some things need to be believed to be seen.”
"Follow the money" is a common way experts rationalize human behaviors in economics, politics, crime and many other areas. This undeniable truth becomes even more relevant in an economic environment characterized by gloom and pessimism, such as the one we are currently experiencing.It is with this in mind that we are proud to announce that in the midst of one of the most difficult economic scenarios in history, JackBe received $5 Million in additional funding from its existing investors to expan
Oddly enough, the Andre's description of how he'd like Flickr's permission structure to work is the way it originally worked, and, frankly, didn't work. It was based on the relationships we'd developed for Game Neverending: Acquaintance, Friend, Best Friend, Soulmate -- there was another level between Best Friend and Soulmate (or Friend and Best Friend) but now I don't remember what it was. Orkut, in their original version, did a similar concentric friends circle and we knew it wouldn't be long
Here's this year's Christmas tree.
Christmas 2008
After all the ice and snow, and the people without power for two weeks tomorrow, let's have a great holiday, and good wishes for everyone.
Thanks to all the participants for the overwhelming response to this month’s webinar on “Delivering Rich Internet and Mobile Applications cost-effectively“. Due to the success of the December event, Web Spiders is rerunning the webinar again on two dates in January. (details below)
As before, Web Spiders’ Business Development Manager (UK/ Europe) Neil Burton [...]
Normally I don’t post stuff like this but here’s a cool holiday offer from MindTouch, the makers of open source wiki and social collaboration software, deki. They will donate and adopt, from the World Wildlife Fund, an emperor penguin in any company’s name when they upgrade to MindTouch Standard or Enterprise license from an existing Deki Open Source installation.
I like the free and open source deki and have a couple accounts on their wiki hosting site— Wik.is. However afte
