Antitrust Apple… When will she fall?

Alright, this is just too much now. I may be naiëve, but I honestly expected there to be a big Apple fanfare announcement at the last minute that Adobe Flash would, indeed be installed on the new generation iPhones.

Tokyo Times: One of my favourite phlogs

I’m constantly impressed by the simple excellence of the photographs offered up at Tokyo Times. Many of them are taken with nothing more sophisticated than an iPhone, showing the man’s true talent. The site/blog/phlog is run by Lee Chapman, an English dude in Japan. His use of light, shadow and subject are excellent, and I [...]

Costs of printing the NY Times

There’s an interesting article over at The Silicon Alley Insider that states the New York Times could buy every single subscriber an Amazon Kindle e-book reader and it would still cost them only half of their existing publishing costs. From the article: According to the Times’s Q308 10-Q, the company spends $63 million per quarter [...]

Here’s another one of those gadgets that measures all sorts of arcane metrics and uses them to configure the ‘real’ dollar value of your website. Just bung in the URL and click Calculate, and it’ll do it’s thing. Here are the StalkingVenus results… (So where’s my money?!) Source: $timator Did ya see what they did [...]
