Robert Adler, inventor of the Wireless TV Remote as passed away. A hero among men. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t be all that we are today. We’d likely be a few pounds lighter. His work changed the way we live.
A 21 click salute in his honor will be performed [...]

The root servers were attacked this morning. My guess would be few (if any) really felt the effects. This just goes to show that the net, despite being a distributed mess of networks still has a few critical points in its infrastructure. They didn’t take them down, and didn’t even get them [...]

If you have bluetooth on your phone, there’s yet another reason to turn it off when you don’t use it. Besides saving battery life (which is always a good thing), and just general security you’ll be seeing more and more spam as time goes on if you keep it on. It’s already [...]

It always proves to be an interesting bit of [...]

Dean Hunt is being harassed by an alleged business owner because his site has a higher Google Ranking than the alleged business owner. This business owner even threatens to sue. Who knows, this could be a hoax against Dean. I’m hoping it is, and there isn’t really someone out there this clueless.
Just [...]

I can fill it up with things like code, your every day ordinary data, and of course pictures of horney manatee action. Sorry, Scoble you must have known the porn references would come flowing in.
If you don’t know, Scoble and friends over at PodTech.net are running a contest for Seagate HD’s. Go check [...]

I noticed this last night, but apparently I wasn’t the only one as Robert Gale over at A Welsh View and Digg also agree that this is one amazing picture of the shuttle launch. The comments on Digg also point out a few other pictures from this and another launch that are similar, as [...]

For those following the developments of Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt’s new venture Parakey. Blake has clarified that it will be open source. Very interesting stuff. Can’t wait to take a look. Hopefully a sneak peak will be available soon.
