Sony, You Used to Be Cool

Dan Frommer with another cracker jack post on his site SplatF: Growing up as a gadget nerd in the 1990s, there was no brand as exciting as Sony. Yes, Apple made great computers, and that’s what we used. But almost everything else, I wanted from Sony. I wasn’t even an Apple nerd in the 90s, [...]

What RIM Did Wrong

Ben Brooks: You really have nothing to complain about if you regularly check-in on social services or geo-locate your tweets. You do have something to complain about regardless of whether [...]

I Hope this is the Plan

Joshua Topolsky: What if HP applied this technology [Synergy] to music applications? What if your Rdio, MOG, Pandora, and even Amazon’s Cloud Player (hey, Jon’s on the board!) could interface with the native music player in webOS, giving you a familiar, understandable hub to deal with the variety of sources in your life?

Reading the Internet
