The best thing about having a blog is Macworld predictions time. Here are mine:
Steve is going to come out on stage and put out record iPod and Mac sales for the holiday quarter.
Taking into consideration the now famous teaser “There’s something in the air” he is going to call it the year of wireless (just [...]

Macworld 2008 Predictions: The Year of Wireless
Max asks: What is the iPhone hype all about?
At the beginning cellphone were huge. I remeber that they were considered weapons and not allowed into high profile soccer matches. Innovation only came from new smaller form factors. After a couple of years of smaller and smaller ridiculous phone people stopped being impressed. In the early 2000 camera phone came out as means of [...]
Digg part of hosting marketing
When people use your companies’ products to market theirs, you know you’re in business. Digg has become a huge phenomenon to the point that hosting companies actually state in their marketing material that you won’t get burned if you get a “Digg Effect” while hosting with them.

NetNewsWire is Free! (UPDATED)
Brent Simmons (Newgator…but who is counting) is announcing that NetNewsWire 3.1(and FeedDemon) is a freeware. It is a great product and didn’t mind paying for it, now that it is free I can recommend it to all the cheap pirates out there.
UPDATE: I agree with Paul on the meaning of this.

Untraceable: Don’t Digg that Site
If you though a full blown Digg effect only killed servers(and the hamsters inside), think again. This movie Untraceable looks pretty cool. They also have a live site for the one in the trailer killwithme.com (no, no one is getting hurt there….i hope).
Sony and Apple Need Each Other
Businessweek is reporting that Sony BMG is dropping DMR in Q1 2008. This is a mayor break through because it comes a week later after Warner went DRM-less with Amazon. The Amazon MP3 store is gaining too much traction in content deals for Apple to ignore and they need to fight back soon.
If I [...]
