I wish Hollywood would pay attention to the younger talent in Asia instead of waiting til they hit their late 30s and 40s as a certified box office draw.

in 3G iPhone: First Thoughts on Webomatica
Pretty much my conclusions exactly except the coverage part. Even the previous EDGE iphone would have been good to me (basically anything with a lighter data plan) for me to experience this. Now that I have it, I think the challenge is to really use it and find ways to make this investment worth it whether it be more productivity or social interaction (we can finally leave computers at home).

Having said that, it is more a glorified browser than anything else until we get voice input or something even crazier. Of course they could start by allowing portrait mode for emails.

webomatica yeah now I'm trying to find apps that can be fun / useful on the go - twitterati and lastFM look promising. And I don't get why the keyboard can't be used in the rotated mode all the time - seems like only certain apps can be rotated.

in Grep in Project command for TextMate on The Pug Automatic
I always thought that I was using TextMate wrong every time I tried project search this will be a very welcome replacement unless Leopard comes with some magic sauce.

Thanks for sharing the wealth!

I wonder what happened to that vaporware app called Measure Map. Maybe they got some of their ideas incorporated. Can't wait to check it out myself.

in Apple’s OS X Leopard Slips, Missed Opportunity To Shame Vista on Webomatica
Yeah, it sucks. Makes you wonder what crazy profit margins they must be getting with phones and ipods. There's a part of me hoping that they'll shake off preconcieved notions from the past and attack the PC market like never before. Who cares about clone PCs? The ability to install the trashtastic Windows on an equally trashtastic knock off PC isn't as alluring as it once was. If they want complete freedom they can go with one of those Linux distros. If I didn't have Apple I'd probably go Ubuntu.

You should definitely follow this up with the real deal based on your impressions. I'd be interested to hear about it!

I agree. What you think Digg wants rarely is but the catchy ones have a way of bubbling up on their own.

in MyBlogLog Reacts to Boycott, Reinstates Shoemoney on Marketing Pilgrim
I'm really torn by this since MLB is really indispensable to me (as a minor blog) but this debacle really diminished my respect for MLB.

These are the people who stood by MLB during the rough patches and even defended the founder's integrity against JZ's faux pas. Just kick them in the nuts. I'm sure they wont mind.

That's like arresting a dude for sexual assault because he tapped on the shoulder of a naked woman in public for telling her, "miss, you should wear some clothes because these streets are dangerous".

To be frank I no longer see how MLB is even worth a couple million dollars when the app has more security holes than something whipped up by script kiddies.

Seriously, if you have time to read all these blogs you should have your nose to the grindstone and be cranking away code to address these issues. What harm did Shoemoney do that the legion of spammers still lurking MLB couldn't do or have already done?

I think the way you handled this security issue would make Microsoft blush.

in Jeremy Zawodny Apologizes on Marketing Pilgrim
Just kidding about the Zune (I have an iPod). Glad to hear there's a happy ending to all this.

MLB guys busted their behinds to put out a great service and if major players bow out because someone outside the team made a misinformed remark, then the whole system starts sucking and becomes a parlor trick for small time bloggers.

Andy, kudos for being the bigger man in all this.

in Jeremy Zawodny Apologizes on Marketing Pilgrim
Damn, I wanted that Zune! This is pretty lame even with that "I do not represent Yahoo" disclaimer. For chrissakes, it's a MySpace for Bloggers.

I still like MLB. It's great for small-timers like myself. But yeah, if MLB is the major force driving traffic to your blog, it's time to work on something else.

I guess Jeremy never really took a peek at all the shady crap already going on within MLB.

Still, don't you think you're being unfair to the MLB buys who blessed you to start with? I kinda feel sorry for them getting punished because Jeremy lost it.

I feel a bit embarassed for coming out of the woodworks like this but I'm a longtime reader and run a tech blog of sorts. I'd be delighted if you could add me as well.
