Google Ad Manager lauches, OpenX says you should worry!
Firefox 3 beta 4 + Firebug
On Monday the Firefox team released Firefox 3 beta 4 which improves on the Mac UI substantially and is fixing most of the small quirks left behind by the other releases. What really inspired me to write this post is finding the Firebug 1.1 release that is compatible with FF3. Since I am not the [...]
Great customer service never rests: Apple Retails(obviously)
Andy Sack on his Apple Store experience:
I went to the Apple store yesterday. I was truly impressed. As I was leaving the store, I saw one of the employees there approach a customer leaving at the same time. The employee said, “excuse Mam, I’m one of the managers here and I noticed that you were [...]
iPhone’s SDK biggest drawback: no multitasking
There two things that have bugged me from the iPhone SDK announcement:
-No InterfaceBuilder for the iPhone yet (you can still code it, so it’s just an inconvenience)

TSA doesn’t know what a laptop looks like. Michael Nygard:

I am still downloading the iphone SDK(2.5 GB). As soon as I have time to look at it, I will [...]
How important is the SDK announcement tomorrow?
Consider this: Michael Arrington hasn’t live blogged any event in a while(that I can recall). This time he is going himself(just a couple of miles anyway) to report on the iPhone’s SDK announcement as per his twitter account:
I don’t really care about Arrington reporting it, and it might even be irrelevant(I just wanted to mention [...]
TorrentFreak: Piracy is Caused by Bad Distribution
Piracy fill’s content companies inefficiencies void. I don’t advocate piracy, but sometimes users have no choice. One great example is TV content distribution. Studios insist they “know” what their customers want, but they fail to deliver, with their DRM crippled downloads or cumbersome web streaming.
Why can’t they just edit the show with advertising built [...]

FOWA wants email to die….quickly!
Email is definitely headed towards extinction. This past weekend at the Future of Web Apps Conference in Miami they predicted just that.
Kevin Marks, a Google engineer and Technorati veteran, said in a talk about the company’s OpenSocial project and Social Graph APIs that e-mail is a “strange legacy idea.”
“E-mail has died away for a group [...]
