Predictions for MacWorld 2007…


Tags: ,

TUAW posted their list of predictions for Macworld 2007. While some are, yes, a bit out there, I see a grain or two of truth..

My predictions for MW07:

  • iLife ’07 and iWork ’07 with a spreadsheet app (though expect it to have a twist)
  • More on iTV, along with a better name and availability dates
  • Leopard ship date
  • New Cinema Displays with built-in iSight Cams
  • Base iPod to move from 30 to 40GB, possibly the big boy moving from 80 to 100GB, though that’s far less likely

Help Dave Ralph Eat For Life!


Tags: , ,

Dave Ralph is hungry.

Please, help Dave eat, quite possibly for the rest of his life.

Head over to this site, register and vote for Dave’s video. If he wins, he gets free burritos for life. It remains to be seen if Beano and Charmin... will follow suit and help the winner out… Hmm.. But I digress.

But hey, Dave’s a good guy, and he needs to eat too, so let’s all pitch in to help feed him. Go Digg this as well

Amazon’s Best of 2006 is up…


Tags: , ,

Ever found yourself wondering, “Hey, I wonder what products people bought most from Amazon…”? Now you can have all the answers, at least for 2006.

Warning: The linked site appears to be Amazon, but it is an Investor’s Relations service that Amazon outsources PR to. While probably safe, I wouldn’t try to login to Amazon from there if I were in your shoes.

A Web 2.0 Makeover Deconstructed…


Tags: , ,

Everyone’s all Web 2.0’d out these days. In my recent blog update from the old LameZone to the new stuff you see before you, I’ve incorporated some Web 2.0 elements. And no, I’m not entirely serious about Web 2.0. Mostly, I laugh at Bubble 2.0, err.. Um, Web 2.0.

Mouse over the screenshot to see what I’m talking about.

Predictions for 2007


Tags: ,

2007 will be a wild and crazy year. We’re on the verge of some cool things, which should show up in 2007.

1. A Wireless iPod will ship

Will it be Bluetooth 2.0+EDR with A2DP headphones? Will it be a wifi-equipped iPod? Whatever it is, we’ll see it over the next 12 months. And for the record, the much rumored iPod+Phone won’t count toward this one, at least for my score..

Nintendo throws a strike.


Tags: ,

Yesterday’s Denver Post had an article about everyone’s surprise at Nintendo scoring huge with the Wii. The 2nd sentence pretty much sums it up:

A year ago, who would have thought that the best video game of the year would be an electronic version of bowling?

And you know, he’s right.

Hands up, who out there thought that Wii Sports Bowling would be one of the best games seen in 2006? I didn’t think so..

2006 Predictions… How Did I Fare?


Tags: , , ,

Let’s jump into the wayback machine to this time last year.. I made 10 predictions for 2006. Let’s see how I did. Last year, I hit 65% correct. Hopefully, I’m improving.

1. Tiered pricing on the iTunes Store – Didn’t happen. And the way things look now, don’t expect to see it happen. I missed this one.

2. HD DVRs will drop to more affordable prices. – I’m torn here. The TiVo Series 3 not withstanding, lots of HD DVRs are now within reach of average folks.. I’m claiming this one.

Stating the obvious with Borders

So I’m taking a little break from Christmas shopping in the Borders cafe. Just overheard someone ask what kinds of coffee was available.

The answer? “We’ve got a regular and a decaf.”
