Where its all going… and why Google has the head start.

Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not in a year, but soon. There will be a complete paradigm shift. Its going to change everything, and some people will get it, and some wont, but it will happen. Mark my words, it will happen. (Not the image of the guy with his thumb in his ear, that is just stupid) Just hear me out.

There are armies of engineers, developers, and marketers right now figuring out how to make this work, how its going to work, the amounts of processing power and form factors. Some are already laying out the road right in front of your face, right here, right now. Using the entire populous as a beta network. The entire concept lies with us, with everyday users, and everyday devices. Its happening right now, and yes even to you, even right now. They are just not showing you the big picture yet. Don't worry, I'll give you a peak into the master plan... Click for More

Google Wave: Wow, this is awesome! Hey, were is everyone…

From Wikipedia;

Google plans to release most of the source code as open source, allowing the public to develop its features through extensions. Google will also allow third-parties to build their own Wave services as quickly as possible (be it private or commercial) because it wants the Wave protocol to replace the e-mail protocol. Initially, Google will be the only Wave service provider, but it is hoped that, as the protocol becomes standardized and the prototype server becomes stable, other service providers will launch their own Wave services, possibly designing their own unique web-based clients as is common with many email service providers. The possibility also exists for native Wave clients to be made, as demonstrated by Google with their CLI-based console client.

Heh, thats ambitious.

... and how does Google feel about IE users?

And what is "Google Chrome Frame" you ask? Why, its a replacement for Internet Explorer, inside of internet explorer. BRILLIANT!

Nokia N900, not your fathers Maemo…

Nokia N900

I was interested until I learned it used the Edge network and cost $700+. Maybe its better on another carrier, but on AT&T you get a blazing fast 107k/64.2k (DL/UL)

I had the Nokia 770, the age old grandfather of this device and the first Maemo device (Also on eBay right now). It was "OK" for the time, but unless things have changed drastically, don't expect much mainstream support for this. Perhaps that is the niche market for this device though, Linux users and people who constantly like to tweak things, which it should do very well for that.

Don't expect it to ever be anything remotely as refined or polished as say an iPhone or Android phone. No offence with the open source Linux crowd, but in this day and age with the iPhones, Droids, and HTC HD2's out or coming out, why bother Nokia? Too little too late. It just makes you go "Meh". For $150 and you could have a Droid and do everything you see here, perhaps even better (Especially if you are a Google and Facebook user).

But all in all, cool video Nokia! Scary stuff!

iDon’t Need you Anymore

and you used to be so hot...

Dearest iPhone,

There comes a time when all relationships must come to an end. Good or bad, you come to a fork in the road and whatever your choice you have to make it, and deal with the consequences. We both knew it wasn’t working and its hard breaking up. I just need some space. Some freedom to control my own background. I… I need to multitask. Apple, maybe we could still be friends, but seriously we both know that will never work, and it would be weird. We’ve hurt each other too much. You know I loved you.

You see, I found someone new. Her name is DROID and she’s open source, and well… More athletic than you. The way she snaps from app to app is something you never had. Not to mention she has GTalk built in, syncs my contacts over the internet, and she’s more accepting of my own personal freedom to choose how I interface with her memory and file system. She uses standards, like Micro USB, and Micro SD Cards, and doesn’t require iTunes to be installed in every bedroom we interface in. Let’s face it; you were so rude to Linux when he came over… You acted like you were above him or something. So sad cause you were from the same tree.

Her screen is brighter, higher resolution. Not trying to be rude, but just perkier. Not even mentioning how hot she looks in her media cradle doubling as my alarm clock. Your little white cradle, even though I told you it was hot, never did it for me. The way she downloaded all my contacts from Gmail and merged them with Facebook, I just didn’t even need you anymore. She merges things without me even needing to explain it to her. It’s like she thinks for me, and in this day and age, I appreciate a good intellectual.

I mean… I know… You’ll improve over time and the next time I see you in public you’ll look great. You definitely tried to be kinky when I jailbroke you with BlackRa1n. I’m sorry… maybe it’s just me, but having iTunes forever in our lives kills the relationship. You’ll never be the one.

So this is goodbye, and you’ve been a good girl, but everything you didn't, DROID DOES, and I just don’t need you anymore.
