the iPhone's been a long time in coming - it was first predicted back in 1979...

Re: iPhone ads: TV versus reality

Paul Levinson — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 00:52:03 -0000

The ads are interesting but ultimately beside the point. Ads always exaggerate benefits - that's what they do. What counts is how the iPhone actually works, and it certainly does ... http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2007/06/iphone...

Re: Waiting for iPhone 2.0

Paul Levinson — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 15:36:47 -0000

The iPhone of course will be improved - that's the way of the evolution of media - but why say it's been shamelessly overhyped? It's actually been talked about and predicted for decades, including by me, back in 1979 ... http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2007/06/iphone...

Re: Let the Twitter backlash begin: Times calls Twitter users narcissistic

Paul Levinson — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 02:14:33 -0000

The New York Times is going downhill fast - like most old media. Their rant is pure, powerless jealousy - here's an interview on The Alcove about the decline old media - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqZNGYit3kY

Re: Roland Emmerich directing Foundation trilogy

Paul Levinson — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 04:52:58 -0000

I don't think we should be so quick to judge what Emmerich will do here ... meanwhile, here's a podcast that discusses how the Foundation trilogy responds to Laplace's Demon, or the proposition that, given sufficient knowledge of all conditions, we can know everything about the future...

Good post. The iPhone has been a long time coming - it was predicted in 1979. Nice to see it finally here...

Re: Ron Moore - "The Sopranos Ends Perfectly"

Paul Levinson — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 21:23:04 -0000

I agree with Ron Moore completely! Not surprising, because BSG is a great show, too. The Sopranos and the Closure-Junkies

Re: A Response to Paul Levinson's "Judd Gregg Deserves No Respect"

Good job, Pablo - and, not to worry, I always mean every word I say.

Paul Levinson — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 22:32:20 -0000

Apple doesn't have to pay Pogue anything - he knows a great step in the evolution of media when he sees it. I've been writing about the iPhone can do since 1979...

Re: Thoughts on the iPhone

Paul Levinson — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 14:51:27 -0000

Good post. I'm happy to see all of this writing about the iPhone - it's abeen a long time coming. I've been writing about it since 1979...

Re: Hmmm, Facebook: a new kind of press release

Paul Levinson — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 00:22:16 -0000

Interesting. So in giving people easy access to Facebook walls, iPhone are starting to make e-mail obsolete (at least, the public PR part of e-mail). This often happens in the evolution of media - unintended consequences, in which the parts add up to more than the whole... http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2007/07/iphone...

Re: Why I’m Not Getting an iPhone

Paul Levinson — Sat, 07 Jul 2007 18:40:11 -0000

I haven't bought an iPhone yet, I will soon, and the reason - as I've been writing about since 1979 - is that what the iPhone does, all conceivable kinds of communication in one hand-held device, is the way of the future ... http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2007/06/iphone...

Re: How Apple Will Use The iPhone To Take Over The Wireless Industry

Paul Levinson — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 00:14:31 -0000

Re: iPhone Reality Check

Paul Levinson — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 00:36:18 -0000

Well, I predict that the iPhone will continue to surge past all sales expectations - all the infrastructure is there - even when a part of the Web doesn't work, like YouTube, there are a plethora of alternatives ...

Re: Virginia Tech policy created an “ideal killing ground for criminals”

Paul Levinson — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 18:38:47 -0000

Good post and discussion. I'm calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment, precisely because it is ambiguous, and could be reasonably assessed as not allowing gun control at all. http://www.paullevinson.net/archives/repeal_the...

Re: Keith Olbermann: 24 IS Bush Administration Propaganda

Paul Levinson — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 11:04:28 -0000

Wasn't Olbermann's finest moment - his rant disrespects the common sense of viewers, and veers close to calling for censorship. http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2007/01/olberm...
