This changes everything. Right now a terabyte of storage space in an external drive is about 6″ x 4″ by 3″ – this will reduce it to the size of an SD card that you use in your camera. That means the vision of the netbook can be realized, that laptops can become smaller, thinner and lighter and that you’ve got data portability like you never even considered before. Think about being able to haul around your sd card and…
I rented a car yesterday, and it’s made the problems in Detroit utterly clear to me. The vehicle in question is a 2007 Chevy Cobalt, a vehicle so heinous that it makes it clear that no executive from that company ever even tried to drive it around a test course. It is a vehicle that is utterly devoid of design concern for the user, and has such poor fit and finish that I surmise they would have trouble giving them…
I’m behind the eight ball this week. My truck broke down last night on the Mass Pike and I was luckily able to limp into the Westboro Rest Area. Very lucky, in fact, as I found that I didn’t have my coat with me and with temps in the teens, I’d have been very unhappy at the side of the road. The mechanic just called to tell me I need $1,400 in front end work, which is the death sentence…
Wow…absolutely hysterical… Via Suzeanne Yada on Twitter…her description is better than any I could come up with: A 1940s short film on journalism. Watch as men in fedoras call editors with visors and completely shaft women!

Today Porn Moguls Larry Flynt (Hustler Magazine) and Joe Francis (Girls Gone Wild) asked the federal government for bailout funds. Apparently the DVD sales are way down. Hustler magazine entrepreneur Flynt claims adult DVD sales have plummeted in the last 12 months, with figures down 22 per cent from 2007. He says, “With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind. It’s time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite…
The New York Times Sells Its First Front Page Display Ad (NYT). As the British marched out of Yorktown after the surrender of the troops under Lord Cornwallis, the British band played “World Turned Upside Down.” This seems like one of those moments to me…display ads on the front page of The New York Times. Just a few scant years ago the mere suggestion would have had you escorted from their newsroom by security, never to return. Oh how the…
The Brand You is Dead. Long Live The Brand You Build. « eyecube. Right on the money…to once again quote from Dr. Zhivago “The personal life is dead in Russia – history has killed it!” This is the single biggest thing that I see people pushing back against when it comes to Social Media – we resent the relentless injection of uber-egos into the mix. The New Year is here, and with it, we find a new reality; one in…
It’s probably not news to most of you that we have defacto places we go to contact people; Facebook for the personal and LinkedIn for the professional. Over the past could years, LinkedIn was a pretty active place for me, even though I found it to basically be a spot to hang your resume online and not much more. Facebook was generally a wasteland for me. I’m a bit older, and from my generation, it seemed the only folks I…
