Most everyone loves Thanksgiving turkeys. But IT industry turkeys? Not so much. We look at 10 examples of 'turkeys' that have disappointed the tech industry this year.
I just spent the last 10 minutes downloading the enabling application, Mobileplay, to my trusty Treo 650. It was a pretty seamless install, especially considering that I also had to set up my Bluetooth hot-sync at the same time. What’s more, the app is Macintosh-friendly, which was a very nice surprise.
So, now I can sneak a peek at one of my new fave blogs, Valleywag, whenever I want. The young blogger, Nick Douglas, is famously an outsider (pretty much how I feel much of the time on the east coast watching these companies from afar). So his posts are refreshingly uncensored yet astonishingly inside baseball. (How else could you know Apple has gotten stingy with office chairs?) Gotta wonder, though, how long can you live in the Valley and remain an outsider. Be careful, Nick, it’ll suck you in! Go over the hill to Santa Cruz for a respite.
You can also get my favorite gadget glorification site, Gizmodo, plus media/entertainment world gossip via Gawker and Defamer. Oh yes, and "real" news feeds via the Associated Press. Seeing as it’s baseball season and my commuting existence through the Bronx is about to become miserable and snail-like, no thanks to those damn Yankees, this could be dangerous in the Jetta.
Tragically, you can’t find this blog yet on Mobileplay. Which leads me to ask you, dear readers, what sorts of things you want in a mobile format. E-mail your ideas, pretty please, since it’s something I’m thinking about a fair deal right now.
There’s a catch with MobilePlay. You know those annoying Microsoft Office dinosaur ads that made no sense in print? Well, they’ve been reformatted as mini-banners along with info from several automakers that flashes up as you page through the menus. Right now, though, it seems a minor inconvenience.
