On the iPad
I think I have read every possible post about the iPad since it was announced more than a week ago. What I have found is that there are mostly three kind of people’s opinion about the product: people who don’t seem to get the idea behind the product, people who get the idea and are fine about it, and people who are worried about that idea. I’ll try to comment about it here. What...

John Casasanta on Amazon.com’s Kindle app for the iPhone:
[…] But there’s one thing that stood out to me in the app when I stumbled upon it. It’s a brilliant fix to an issue that’s been plaguing the iPhone since day 1, and made even worse with the 3.0 update… If you’re reading on your iPhone while lying down, it often inadvertently flips from portrait to landscape orientation....

Many things have been said about Google Chrome OS since it was announced last Tuesday. From:
Forget the netbooks, which Google is targeting initally. We’ll see PCs of all types being sold by the major manufacturers as soon as Google gets this out of beta next year. Microsoft has a very serious competitive threat to the core of their revenues.
To:
Trying to make an OS out of Chrome is like saying...
It’s been a week since Michael Jackson’s death. I don’t know if it was nostalgia from my childhood (I was a big fan as a kid) or because every news about him goes with one of his songs in the background, but the day after, all I wanted to listen was his music.
Probably the last time I consciously did it was in the HIStory days (about 12 years ago or so). I don’t have any...

Beginning in August, Xbox Live users will be able to download full Xbox 360 games to their consoles via the service. Microsoft made the announcement during a luncheon following its pre-E3 press conference. Similar to XBLA titles, new releases will be made available weekly for a price comparable to what the boxed version is selling for at retail. Once the service — which is integrated into...

Tim Bray about throwing away disks and books:
I dream of a mostly-empty room, brilliantly lit, the outside visible from inside. The chief furnishings would be a few well-loved faces and voices because it’s about people not things. But of course there’d be handy tools there, to bring the universe of words and sounds and pictures to hand on demand. But not get dusty or pile up in corners.
Amen....

Paul Graham:
As a rule, any mention of religion on an online forum degenerates into a religious argument. Why? Why does this happen with religion and not with Javascript or baking or other topics people talk about on forums?
What’s different about religion is that people don’t feel they need to have any particular expertise to have opinions about it. All they need is strongly held...

Remember when you used to be able to search for “productname + review” and actually find a review? Yeah, those were the days.
This remind me an idea that I had years ago, a site that let you find reviews categorized by importance and at the same time tells you in few words the pros and cons and some sort of five stars rating about the product based on those reviews. A couple of months ago found...

Jason Fried on economic downturns:
When the people using your product aren’t the ones paying for your product you’re at a strategic disadvantage. Your improvements can’t just be targeted at users, they also have to be targeted at advertisers. So now some of your energy is split into pleasing two different groups. It’s possible advertisers and users have the same goals, but it’s less likely....
@WiredReader: Kill yr blog. 2004 over. Google won’t find you. Too much cruft from HuffPo, NYT. Commenters are tards. C u on Facebook?
@PaulBoutin: No. I know. Probably. I don’t want to compete. I don’t have comments. I barely use it.

Coherence
This is a great post from Seth Godin.
[…] everything is public sooner or later, and if you want to build a brand for the ages, you need to stand for something today and tomorrow and every day.
In other words: coherence. I’ve been thinking about it a lot since the last 2 years or so and all that I learnt is that is almost impossible, an utopia, like perfection. The human nature...

Blogging II
In the same context of this post that I wrote some days ago, found this one from Cameron Hunt, which describe with a good analogy why blogs not always conversations.
Is a conversation the best metaphor to describe a weblog with comments? In my opinion, a better comparison would be a presentation. A few hundred attendees come to a specific area to hear what you have to say. And commenting would...

iLeopard
If you’re like me and never understood why Apple, being a company with well known great designs and care for details, had pretty notorious inconsistence in Leopard UI with some Tiger reminiscence while iTunes looks better.
Well, iLeopard is what you need. It basically put the iTunes UI in Leopard making everything consistent and just how it must be done since day one.
Hopefully Apple will...
Blogging
Estaba leyendo este post en Denken Uber que habla sobre si el lifestreaming es o no el futuro del blogging, pero más allá del tema central del post, lo que me dejo pensando fue la definición que da Mariano sobre que es un blog:
[…] un blog no es, parafraseando a Gran Hermano, la vida online sino un sitio donde hay opiniones y comentarios o debate y una microcomunidad de nicho montada sobre...

Filters and the web
The other night watching the spanish version of Mobuzz TV, they talked about this post from Publishing 2.0, which basically says that we have a problem with content on the web and we need filters to access to only relevant data and prevent noise. I definitely agree, search engines must be the first to add more complex filters to show better results and something must be done on Twitter and...

Nude RE /MIX
Radiohead split their song Nude into pieces for the fans, to get remixed, a couple of weeks ago. This one above is the most voted now and really deserve it. If I knew how to mix songs, maybe I would have made the attempt. Hope they release it or something. Via: Cuchara Sónica.

Internet y los modelos de negocio
Leyendo este post de Martín Varsavsky en su blog, me recordó que estuve pensando en lo mismo hace unos días:Los videojuegos se pagan mucho y se usan mucho. La música se paga poco y se escucha mucho. Las películas se ven muchísimo y se pagan poquísimo. Los canales de televisión en abierto se ven muchísimo y no se paga nada. Los canales de cable/satélite se ven poquísimo y se paga muchísimo por...

On Blu-ray
A couple of weeks ago Blu-ray won the “format war” over HD DVD on the next DVD generation format. That brings us some “relief” because now we know which way to go and how it’s going to be. But the question is, we really need another physical format instead of digital distribution?. Blu-ray is a good option now, because it give us full HD content that the online stores...

MacBook Air
He leido muchas críticas hacia el MacBook Air, presentado el martes por Steve Jobs, en su mayoría argumentando que se trata de una mala idea por parte de Apple al ser un portatil que carece de varias opciones y puertos que la mayoría trae por defecto y al mismo tiempo no ser lo suficientemente pequeño como para considerarlo un sub-notebook. La verdad es que se le está dando un mal enfoque al...
