"If it seems like everybody and their second cousin is making an eReader device, it’s because they pretty much are. Beyond the industry-leading Amazon Kindle and the Sony Reader, a veritable troupe of newcomers are taking the stage to challenge the digital reading device market: the Barnes & Noble Nook, Plastic Logic Que, Spring Design Alex, LG’s solar eReader and more will be vying for a share of the digital book market along with the now official Skiff Reader from Hearst."

I like it when it is thin and foldable like a newspaper, wouldnt folding damage the electronic circuitry?

@TrafficBug I believe that the e-ink technology does not work that way - this was developed a long time ago and have been available in research labs for a while. See wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... and here from New Scientist article published in 2004: http://www.newscientist.com/article...

IBM showed a prototype back in 2005 (?) of a rolling newspaper but I can't find the link right now. Or maybe it's Philips. I don't recall.. it's nice to see these things finally in the market!!! (hopefully at affordable prices) :)

Ok, So What’s the Deal? Can You or Can You Not Take Photos Inside of Starbucks? - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

A few months ago I was excited to read about Starbuck’s joining Flickr and sponsoring an “official” Starbucks group there. I’m sure they had to pony up some big bucks to pay Yahoo/Flickr for that opportunity, but I was pleased to see them show up for the conversations that go along with a group on Flickr. One of the first posts that was made in the new group though was by someone complaining about the fact that many people have been harrased for taking photos inside of Starbucks: “I was given to understand that many managers and employees have violently opposed photos made on or of their premises. Does this group represent a new turn in corporate spirit, or is it launched in spite of the unpleasant, even threatening experiences some have had at Starbucks?” Initially things looked pretty good. The group admin, and Starbuck’s marketing rep, Anali Orr posted the following: “Our formal policy is that all press-related photo inquiries need to contact press@starbucks.com prior to taking...

Sounds like their policy is pretty wishy washy to me! It would be nice if they could make it clear to all of the Store managers that photography is not a crime and to leave people with cameras alone. I have never been able to figure out why stores are so worried about photos of their interiors. If i am a competitor, what kind of strategic information am I going to get from photos that I can't get by just walking through their store and looking around??
- Jeff P. Henderson
I'm just surprised how *long* it takes for a corporation to deal with such a simple issue. It seems like their tactic is delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, delay... ...then go radio silent. Real communication is a much better strategy, especially when it's a two way communication forum like a group. As it stands now their group is pretty much rendered worthless while the forum members continuously push the the threads about their anti-photography policies to the top of the conversation over and over again.
- Thomas Hawk
This is a common problem with large corporations, especially ones with broadly distributed facilities. Even in most medium sized companies I've worked for, communication from the top down was dismally inadequate.
- Jeff P. Henderson
This "policy" is so obtuse. And I've found the policy has become more restrictive not less. I've been told that it is Starbucks policy and found it enforced in California, Washington, and New Mexico, but not in Arizona. Weird.

When are these companies going to learn that we want to access their content on a multitude of platforms, and not just some proprietary box. Blows my mind that in 2009 we're still dealing with this crap.
- Joshua Schnell
The attraction of control a settop gives you is almost impossible to resist. They can fully monetize their content and do whatever they want whenever they want. If it works the payoff is big.
- Todd Hoff
The key word there is *if*. If it was only the BBC doing this it wouldn't be so bad, surely the rest of the television companies are going to follow suit. That means a bunch of set top boxes in a home. I don't think consumers will pay for an ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC, Fox, and a CBC box. It's just too much in my opinion.

I think the mistake that a lot of us here have made about Robert Scoble is that he doesn't cheer for the superior solution, he cheers for the solution with the most momentum. When Twitter and Facebook begin to falter in the face of a new competitor, you can bet he'll drop them like... well, like he did when FriendFeed had the momentum. #dhsb

I've known of Robert for ages now so his behavior doesn't bother me. I've always found it interesting that people seem to take his opinions so personally. Far as I know, being at the head of the curve is the man's job. Has been for years. The presentation may be a bit too abrupt for folks I suppose; that people continue to get agitated by it all is fascinating to me.
- pea
I wouldn't mind Robert if his opinions didn't come off with so much rancor and grit. I have opinions too, but I don't stomp around and wield my knowledge as if it's the end all and be all. Whatever. I bet if me and Robert were to hang out in person, we'd have some fun.
- Derrick
pea, all good points with which I happen to also agree. What I've seen is that people seem to get irritated at him because when he does start cheering for something, he does so with absolute authority and as if the Messiah has finally arrived to save us all. Then, six months later, when he starts cheering for something else, he HAS to take a huge dump on the previous cheer-object to make his cheers for the new one more effective.
- Akiva Moskovitz
D, I didn't get to hang out with Robert as much as I would have liked at Gnomedex but from the little I did, let me tell you, the man exudes a kind of childlike joy that's hard not to get swept up in. It's a rare quality to find so I can see why he has such a huge following.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I get that, Akiva. We've seen glimpses of non-tech Robert from time to time. I was actually surprised when at SXSW he called me out for not crossing paths in real life. I'd love to talk anything but tech with him sometime. I wonder if he likes tacos?
- Derrick
If he is a human being, he better love some tacos. Now that is something that no one can disagree with
- Shevonne
Robert's a cool guy, but I think that sometimes he is thinking something in his head, but doesn't express them into words properly, which causes people to get offended
- Shevonne
I've never been terribly interested in that aspect of the business so I can't say with any real knowledge if dumping on a previously regaled product is necessary. Robert's delivery isn't really my cup of tea and his area of focus doesn't jive with my interests so I'm able to avoid his posts. We've never run in the same circles. He has some really cute children though. I'd be happy to listen to cute stories of his kids all day long. :) I'd even put up with some tech talk in order to make that happen.
- pea
I prefer Robert when he's not talking about tech stuff, intelligent and insightful.
- Matthew DeVries
Most of the time it is not even Robert that aggravates people, it is the minions that work their nerves. Unfortunately it happens most often in Robert's threads.
- Amber, Random Time Lord
When it comes to tech though, he is good at figuring out where the end is, and if the universe is truely infinite, or just mathematically infinite. Like his critiques of GReader, I guess it's good to know that performance and service starts to break down when you start trying to similtaneiously open 500,000 RSS feeds. Will more than 3 people on the planet ever push something like that...

I think Merlin is the nicest. I think him, and the entire LDS Cabal have to trump him on nice. But Robert's up there with them.

I contend that his band wagon-ing wouldn't be so annoying if he would just jump on his new band wagon and not bother to go on and on about the faults of the previous band wagon to people, where the only fault is that it isn't the band wagon du jour for Americans. Apple still makes computers that many, but not most people like, and has leveraged that into a formidable digital empire.
- RAPatton
Robert is good though for pointing out things that are building momentum - that is his special super power which he uses a lot and only for good.
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
Akiva, I don't think he just cheers for the service with the most momentum. I saw him cheering for FriendFeed for a long time, and Twitter has always had more momentum than FriendFeed.
- Bruce Lewis
Remember, when FriendFeed was rising was when Twitter was having their most problems just staying up. Every week there was a new Twitter-killer such as FriendFeed, Plurk, Identi.ca, whatever. Within the context of the time, FriendFeed definitely had the momentum and Twitter was in its pre-Oprah/Kutcher death throes.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Rasmus, Robert Scoble is definitely not the nicest person in tech. One thing geeks like about him is his candid feedback. When you're building something, you really need people not to think too much before they tell you their impressions. Sometimes he gets in trouble by not thinking before speaking, but he apologizes later.
- Bruce Lewis
Akiva, how I remember it is that FriendFeed was the back-burner boyfriend that people went to when Twitter was down. FriendFeed was always the underdog. FriendFeed surpassing twitter because of twitter downtime was always speculation, never reality.
- Bruce Lewis
I still think it's apples and oranges. I use both.
- Ian May
Ian, you're right. But apples in some ways compete with oranges.
- Bruce Lewis
Bruce, I didn't write that FriendFeed was surpassing Twitter although I do believe that if Twitter had collapsed, FriendFeed would have been the replacement and not Plurk, et al. However, that's all just speculation. You do make a solid point, however: Scoble cheered hard for FriendFeed long after FriendFeed had begun to lose its momentum; pretty much right up until Facebook's talent-grab. This tells me that FriendFeed had (and probably still has) a special place in Robert's heart.
- Akiva Moskovitz
It sure does. His relationship status with FriendFeed is, "It's complicated."
- Bruce Lewis
He works in the attention economy. Rackspace pays him because he has the attention of (English-speaking) geeks. He has to go where the geeks are, and where he can pick up interesting geeky things to talk about that help him keep geek attention.

Woah, Bruce. I suddenly want to buy you a stuffed bear with a heart embroidered on it for the phrase 'attention economy'.

Don't do it, I'm warning you! Or I'll send you a little dancing snowman that sings, "We wish you a Merry Christmas" :-) (EDIT: oops, I thought the words were going to be embroidered on it, misread. Go ahead, send me one.)

"So much for “The Web, The Way YOU Want It“. After Microsoft’s search engine Bing invited criticism for restricting access to explicit content, it’s Yahoo’s turn: a week ago, Yahoo turned the Safe Search option permanently on for Indian users for its photo sharing site Flickr, wrote Pluggd.in. Yahoo is thus significantly restricting the way its users access the its service, hypocritically, not giving its users the right to choose how they view Flickr content. Local terms of service will now apply to users in Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea and India, and their default search option is Safe Search, which cannot be modified. Safe Search filters out any content and groups flagged ‘moderate’ or ‘restricted’ by Flickr photo owners."
