Apple TV Bridges the Gap Between Computer and TV

September 1, 2010

I just ordered the brand new Apple TV. But I guess the question is why? Why did I order it? It wasn’t the inner-fanboy, like some may argue took over when I ordered the Magic Trackpad. This purchase actually bridges a gap in my media consumption experience. For the longest time, I haven’t been able [...]

Kevin Rose is in a tough position right now. Digg version 4 has been officially released to everyone. One might say that the problem is many people are upset with the changes and while that is true, I think the problem really stems at the fact the Digg’s core user base is comprised of geeks [...]

August 22, 2010

We have a problem. That problem is the current state of our blogosphere. It’s in complete shambles. Unfortunately, I’m well aware of what causes this problem and it’s not easily fixable. The cause of the problem is the need for visitors and pageviews, which both translate into money. Don’t get me wrong – making money [...]

Recently it was reported that Skype filed for an IPO. In the filing, one particular number that stood out to me and a few others I’m sure was that Skype “users made 95 billion minutes of voice and video calls” during the first half of 2010, with a full 40 percent of those minutes being [...]
