"And now, even if the cable and content companies do take him on, it may be too late. Hastings' Trojan horse—Netflix's software, embedded on myriad consumer devices—is already in place." - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

cable providers turn into pure isps, and sell the pipe for connecting to netflix ;) - Mike Chelen

"Microsoft doesn’t have the chops, and anyway, they’re not paying attention. They’re foaming at the mouth over Google. And frankly, despite what they say about embracing the Web, the reality is, when it comes to all things Internet, the Borg still in “fight the tide” mode. Look at their euphoria over Windows 7 — that tells you all you need to know about how they view the world. They are the tech equivalent of the cable guys, still believing that they can protect their castles if they just keep digging bigger moats." - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

Good article. The value of good judgement and prudence (mixed with some good plain luck). Some have it, others don't. - ivanandersson

"Google’s algorithms are very handy for shopping or entertainment recommendations. But I don’t like it “personalizing” news. Serving readers news based on what they’ve read can lead to a kind of tunnel vision where they’re insulated from the dissenting views and unpleasant truths. Newspapers emerged to serve communities, and communities are inherently hotpots of dissent. Targeting news stories as if they were advertisements runs counter to that important service. I want a news gadget bringing me stories that make me uncomfortable." - ivanandersson

"As DeWolfe found out to his cost, Van Natta’s challenge is to ensure he keeps Rupert Murdoch’s attention and support. The boss has plenty of other worries to distract him, after all: a soft advertising market and the future of his beloved newspaper industry are just two. If MySpace is to recover and prosper, it also needs to deepen its engagement with young internet users. No one, however, matters more than a certain 78-year-old." - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

"underwhelmed" - a new word for me - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

Google Wave has the potential to become a virtual “town square,” where otherwise separate gadgets applied to content created by journalists and enhanced by the wave’s users can be used to provide an accurate, detailed description of what’s happening locally. - ivanandersson

es, a great product will sell itself. The public will sniff it out and buy it - without the need for advertising. But this is where your argument falls apart: The truth is, most products aren’t that great. In fact, the vast majority of them have become commodity. A Dell is an HP which is no more than a Gateway. Same guts wrapped in an off-white box. Priced within inches. A fast food burger is a fast food burger. (Wendy’s makes a square one, um, brilliant.) Most affordable cars share the same parts and have ever so slightly different body styles. These wonderful products that will doom advertising you speak of, the products that sell themselves like the Apple iPhone and the Prius - are few and far between. Sadly, they are as rare as an advertising creative director with a small paycheck. The unfortunate fact is most products desperately need to be wrapped in something - anything - to make the consumer even notice them. To make people feel like they are “different” in some way. This is... more... - ivanandersson

this article is misconcieved. advertsing will never die, it just takes new forms. everything is becoming a medium anyway - the course the music industry is on is instructive - its going from being a product to a medium - and is hoping against hope that an advertising model can sustain it. User reviews drive sales. seeing what other people bought drives sales. Its all advertising. People... more... - ivanandersson

"The sarcophagus will remain radioactive for at least 100.000 years. The age for the pyramids of Egypt is 5,000 to 6,000 years. Each cultural epoch left something to humanity, something immortal, like Judaic epoch left us Bible, Greek culture- philosophy, Romans contributed law and we are leaving Sarcophagus, the construction that going to outlive all other signs of our epoch and may last longer then pyramids." - ivanandersson

"Incredibly, people had homes, garages, cars, country houses, they had money, friends, relatives cats and dogs. People had their lives. Each in own niche. And then in a matter of hours, their entire world fell to pieces. After a few hours trip in an army vehicle, they stood under a shower, washing away radiation. Then they stepped in a new life, naked with no home, no friends, no dogs, no money, no past and with a very doubtful future." - ivanandersson

""Google organized our memory," Segal says. "Real-time search organizes our consciousness."" - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

"But it really refers to the doctrine of the King's Two Bodies. A king is a mortal person: he's born, he lives, he dies. Nothing changes that. But the king is also the embodiment of the State, and when he dies, physically, the state lives on, embodied in the next king." - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

Se "Tech Specs" - nu med "Accelerometer, Proximity sensor, and Ambient light sensor" - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

Ganska ovanligt med instruktioner på svenska (och en svensk sida). Ifall det är någon av er som behöver roota en android. - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

En applikation som kommer att bli till nytta för alla, oberoende av typ av mobiltelefon. Den nyttjar googles enorma databas. Den visar t.om med mycket information om den lilla svenska stad stad jag befinner mig i nu - om matställen etc etc. - ivanandersson

Den ser intressant ut. - Svartling

Ja detta kan man väl kalla ett pyttelitet exempel på vad som ingår i den här intressanta trenden med "Augmented reality". I och med att nu snart alla mobiltelefoner har sensorer så kommer det utvecklas många apps kring detta. Ock om jag förstått det rätt så kommer den nya Iphonen att ha alla de olika sensorerna och det kommer definitivt att driva på denna utveckling än snabbare - ivanandersson

"but I am afraid in one area, a very important one, this openness is going to backfire. It’s going to start turning the Android update experience into a mish-mash process like that of Windows Mobile. We will probably at some point see an Android update get rolled out that not everyone can get on their phone. They will have to wait for the handset maker to modify the update to fit their own modifications. Then consumers may very well have to wait for their particular phone carrier to bless that update and modify it further for their particular subset of customers — if they choose to release it at all." - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

visst, finns risker med allt. Men detta oväntat - troligen för båda parter. - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

"Eftersom mobiltjänsten är så bra och så unik kommer det att leda till att betydligt fler skaffar premiumkonton (de har tidigare sagt att mobiltjänsten bara kommer att vara tillgänglig för premiumkunder). En stor, global kundbas som betalar en hundring i månaden ger skönt klirr i kassan, och det är intäkter som är betydligt tryggare att kunna luta sig mot än annonsmarknaden som är konjunkturkänslig och stenhårt konkurrensutsatt från Google och typ alla andra onlineföretag i hela världen." - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

Ja vad säger man. Det är brutal...Men man kommer aldrig ifrån priset. - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

OrganizedFellow: "I’ve tried all 3: JF, TheDude and Kaykuro, all within 3 weeks of owning my G1. I started with your guide, ‘Beginners Guide For Rooting Your Android G1 To Install Cupcake’, and later ventured through the seemingly endless information at the XDA developers forum. I bricked my phone a couple times, but was always able to revert back to some workable form. I’m thrilled over the possibilities this phone offers consumers. I’m glad users like Jesus, TheDude and Haykuro are around to make it easier for us all to experiment with our phones." - ivanandersson

Exactly right. Come on Google, I know you might be busy, but most of these are a given. - Tim Hoeck from Bookmarklet

To much Android for you? Maybe so, but it is exciting times. Real-time widgets – in lack of a better word - on android open up totally new innovation trajectories. Oh you glories future – what do you have in store for me? - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet

"According to a new GAO report, a bunch of the satellites up there guiding our cars, geo-shagging applications, and soldiers might go kaput soon. If they fall, the report implies, the sky falls." - ivanandersson from Bookmarklet
