For those that listened to the Xeni interview here on The Gadget Show, (found here if you haven’t), she mentioned her digital cinema article for Wired. Today it got published online. Interestingly the main subject of the article is Mark Cuban, who happens to be in the press a lot recently, for amongst other things, […]

Cameron will be happy. He’s got a bet going with Shane Williamson that machines will take over mankind by the end of the decade. Lucky for him Cyberdyne Jeff Hawkins and Numenta are on the case.
Hawkins, the inventor of the Palm and the Treo, gave a presentation at the PC Forum tech conference, and […]

Wendy Seltzer, a previous guest of The Gadget Show, is live blogging the MGM v. Grokster argument. She camped on the steps of the Supreme Court of the United States last night, with photos to prove it, and we’ll hopefully hear soon the details of the argument. Today isn’t the end of the game by […]

I’ve been reading Wired Magazine for over 10 years, and Boing Boing for the last few. So it makes sense that I’m a fan of Xeni Jardin’s work. She’s heavily involved in both. When I asked if she’d be so kind as to be on the show, she enthusiastically agreed, and while storms lashed LA […]

Ain’t it Cool News has a review of its visit to Pixar. Any gadgeteer is bound to wish they were in there shoes. Makes me wish I kept focusing on art, and took some serious courses in 3D animation, not just many weeks playing with Blender until the wee hours. It also reminds me of […]

Wendy Seltzer, who I recently interviewed for The Gadget Show, points to Marc Cuban’s blog post about his funding of the MGM vs. Grokster case. Apparently the EFF and others asked Marc if he would finance the legal effort against MGM, and he agreed.

We are a digital company that is platform agnostic. Bits are […]

In recent years there has been a number of discussions of where TV is heading. After all, peer-to-peer technology, like P2PTV that I discussed a couple of years ago, and PVRs like Tivo are changing the way that television is being watched. What happens with advertising when people skip the commercials? Will Tivo’s new superimposed […]

A flame war was started early this week with news that Symantec had suggested that “Apple’s OS X operating system is increasingly becoming a target for hackers and malware authors”, in its annual Internet Security Threat Report. Now normally, making a comment like this about an operating system is passé. Let’s face it, aren’t all […]

Last month Apple released its new PowerBooks with a few nice little feature including the trackpad scrolling and the Sudden Motion Sensor that will lock the hard-drive if dropped. Not content to just accept this as the only feature a few sensors can add, a few enterprising hackers have added some functionality using the powerbooks […]

I can’t remember how I noticed Robert’s blog, but after hearing Mick Stanic talk about pass phrase security I thought that he’d be a great guest for the show, especially in light of all the news around Paris Hilton’s phone being cracked. The fun part was working with Kjersti from Waggener Edstrom, Microsoft’s PR […]
