Choose a page number: 1 Digital RSS FeedsHot-Linking - Remember back in the day, when you’d find some cool picture on the ‘net, and you’d copy it’s URL and paste it in some website you ran, and then the person at the hosting site would get all mad and tell you to take it down and “no hot-linking!” Remember that?

Amazon Kindle E-Books - Shortly after getting my HTC Evo phone, one of the initial apps I downloaded from the Android Marketplace was the Amazon Kindle app with the idea I?d probably check it out at some point.

People Know They Are Living Life in Public? - The recent privacy flap surrounding Facebook got me thinking. Exactly how much are we all sharing? What can be learned from it?

Does The Cloud Have A Dark Side? - For some time we?ve been hearing about the virtues of cloud-based computing. Certain functions seem to lend themselves to the cloud.

In everyday use scenarios, does the cloud really make sense in more traditional private computer-use situations? [ ]... Is CNN Calling For Curbs On Free Speech? - On July 23, 2010, CNN anchors Kyra Phillips and John Roberts discussed on air the idea that bloggers should be somehow ?held accountable? or perhaps regulated in some way.

Guns, Guns, Guns - When I discovered that there was an app for the iPhone in the AppStore that allows snipers to work out bullet trajectories based on the round used, distance, environmental conditions and so on, I was frankly amazed.

Are they true or are they not. Rumor, rumor fill my pot. Thought I would make a nursery rhyme on this. After all, rumors seem to be Mother Gooses best yarns. Some rumors come true. Others, not so much. No clam shell phone, no mini version [ ]... UltraViolet Light My Way - Ultraviolet is a brand new service just announced by some Hollywood and technology heavyweights. The Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE), a collection of 58 studios and tech companies, is betting it’s future on Ultraviolet.

Stitcher Now Runs in Background of iPhone - I’ve been using Stitcher to listen to most Podcasts.

I just got it four or five months ago, and it works well for what I want.

It’s not great for intensive sites, [ ]... Location, Location, Location - A few days ago I posted an article here entitled ?Waxing Nostalgic? in which I reminisced about the original three Podcast & New Media Expos held at Ontario, California and how special they were.

So Is The iPhone A Good Phone? - When the iPhone came along in 2007, many people were immediately disappointed, including me, that it was tied at the hip to AT&T.

The agreement expands co-operation with Russia under Microsoft’s Government Security Program [ ]... Not So Fast, Amazon Kindle! - Amazon is strutting around like the cat that ate the canary today, releasing figures that indicate that Kindle books are outselling hardbacks sold on Amazon’s site.
