Watching football while blogging... The Jets and the Bengals are freezing in Cincinnati, it is 22o with a wind chill of 7o. Whew. Actually it seems to be snowing just about everywhere. Meanwhile I just got back from a bike ride, it was a little cold, had to wear a long-sleeved jersey. I love Southern California :) So what color are you? I can't believe people are actually upset about this. It's harmless fun, first and foremost, and if it calls attention to breast cancer all the better. Personally I prefer Pink :) Coolest gadget this year: the Asus Wave smartphone/ bracelet. Is this really real? 'Cause if it is, how excellent; it has an OLED display, and you control it by gesturing with your fingers. And if it isn't real, it should be; what a great idea... This I love: Apple looms over CES from afar. "A device that doesn't yet exist from a company that doesn't even exhibit at CES was the most buzzed-about thing at the biggest gadgetfest in the world." I have a friend who works for Microsoft, and who is [understandably] miffed that Ballmer's keynote was treated as a me-too announcement, when Microsoft has been shipping tablets for ten years. Remember the original tablet? Yeah, me neither, but I looked it up; that's it at right... In re: the Android platform discussion; Om Malik wonders What should Motorola do now? (after "partner" Google has announced a competing product.) His answer: buy Palm! Huh. I got a call today from a Tesla salesperson. Invited me to Santa Monica for a test drive. Wow. I think I might go tomorrow, if nothing else it would make a nice bike ride :) about 75 miles round trip... |
