The Rants & Pomp of an American Mutt
Microsloth, in yet another un-original move, has opened their own retail presence.
Congratulations, that’s 1000 stolen business plans! Most people who inhabit the spaces that will contain the stores may become confused when they purchase their computer from a Microsoft store, and then accidentally wander into an Apple store looking for support…oh well…
Hey all you FCP editors out there…The Final Cut Pro User Groups Network has just issued the Super Meet Mag issue # 3:

The Mashable team is streaming their conference in NYC today. Thanks guys…
Ok,…now I’ve been watching this story in bits and pieces since about 5:00 PM on Tuesday afternoon…and I have to say…what a colossal waste of time and with such poor performances all around…the Cambridge, MA police dept…Skip Gates, President Obama, Robert Gibbs, I mean the list is growing by the minute…and all over what?
Ok, I’ve been reading every damn post, article, tweet, and blog post re: PALMs new Pre smartphone. And have come to the conclusion that the Pre will not be an iPhone killer out of the gate. Here are my reasons:
So my son put me on the hook for the creation of cup cakes a couple of weekends ago…we’re in the store…after making my way to the aisle w/the baking goods…I find the box…Although Oskar, my son, is.
[Rethinking Blu-ray - Gadgetwise Blog - NYTimes.com] Ok, the NYT is saying the indicators are that Blu-ray is on the upswing…personally, I’m don’t buy it…I don’t know anyone w/a Blu-ray player that didn’t come as a by-product in a game console and I don’t know anyone buying any discs? Do you?
Ok, so believe it or not…there were smartphones before the iPhone…in fact, PALM had made quite a few of them…prior to my owning an iPhone, I owned no less than 4 Palm devices…2 of which were smartphones…the Treo 600 and the 650…both of which were handy devices…in fact, for note taking, IMHO, they were better devices than my iPhone…which I still can’t import those notes into w/out a mod…that said…the iPhone blows the Treo away on almost all other counts…as soon as APPL made their phone available…and I managed to get my hands on one…I sold both the iPod and the Treo…because I was sick of having to carry around mulitple devices…
MobileCrunch has a very good post re: today’s iPhone 3.0 software update, including a citation of definite cut and paste from Mr. Kevin Rose himself on a recent SXSW Diggnation episode:
