I know, the show has just started, but I have yet to see any ‘killer’ gadget emerge from CES 2007. Engadget, as usual, is all over CES, but a lot of other bloggers are swarming Las Vegas too. Gottabemobile.com reports on the OQO 02, the nicely updated ultra compact computer by OQO. It looks impressive,…

John Pollard, CEO of Jott wrote back to me yesterday regarding the processes that Jott employs behind the scenes. He was kind enough to grant me permission to post his reply here: Hi Nitin, Thanks for spending some time with Jott over the holidays, and for your interest in general. You are correct that we…

Google keeps upping the ante with Google Reader. The latest addition is the trend page. This is really, really cool. The trend page gives you in chart and graphical format, a breakdown of your personal feed reading trends, which subscriptions are most often read, how many shares per feed, etc. Also available are frequently updated…

I wrote about Jott a few days back, and was slightly off the mark about it’s usefulness. As it turns out, Jott is not really meant for transcribing voicemail to text (that really would be a killer service), rather Jott is meant for you – the user – to be able to call Jott and…

After the lackluster launch of the UMPC (Origami), a failure that had as much to do with the bulky form-factor as price, Microsoft is keying up another personal device for consumers.

So, the last few months I’ve been volunteering some of my time to help launch a brand new film festival in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has a fairly large Asian population, one that is active in many community activities, but until recently the disparate Asian groups haven’t had a unifying event to call their own.

Last year’s dubious purchase of Skype by eBay for an ungodly sum is looking even more foolish today. Yesterday Yahoo! released the beta 7.5 version of Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. This update allows Yahoo!IM users to buy phone numbers, call out, call in, and generally function in a world similar to Skype without having another…

Today it was Intel’s turn to take the covers off of the UMPC platform. James Kendrick uncovered this page on the Intel website that begins to fill in the missing pieces to the puzzle. The Intel UMPC website reveals even more with four videos showing use cases for the UMPC here. The second video, “Mix…

Guy Kawasaki points us to a collection of charts that Karl Hartig has generated over time using all kinds of interesting data. Not only are some of these charts visually stunning, but they provide a way to show trending data in a more dramatic fashion. In other words, the data comes alive on these graphics. Definitely worth…

Just like he says here, January 2006 has been a great month for fellow GTD’er, TabletPC’er, Weblogs Inc colleague, and pal Marc Orchant. The most recent buzz that Marc has generated is around an article that was published in American Airlines’ in-flight magazine American Way. Time Bandits does an excellent job of describing the power,…
