Today at PICNIC, Violet announced that it is releasing a mass-market RFID reader. The Mir:ror will connect to your computer via USB. It will read RFID tags placed near it and can perform actions based on them. I am not sure that the mass-market is ready for an RFID reader, but I think this will one will make headway...
On the 20th of September, Henry Paulson submitted an architectural plan to Congress to provide a foundation for keeping Wall Street functional and prevent the credit markets from seizing up, a task which he has been engaged in pretty much non-stop for at least the last year (since the markets started to crack in August 2007). This architectural plan, one that would involve potentially trillions of dollars and affect the lives of tens of millions of people, was not 1000 pages of detailed analysis, not even a hundred pages of recommendations and "to be filled in with details later". It was 2 1/2 pages long.

According to Nancy Duarte, author of slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations, we're often afraid to unleash our natural storytelling instincts because we're afraid to be different—afraid to stand out from our corporate norm. And this leads to presentations that put our audiences to sleep—or worse—fail to communicate the information that we hope to convey. In her recent webcast, You are a Natural Born (Visual) Storyteller, Nancy showed the audience how to infuse life, intelligence, and good design into their presentations. The recording is now ready for viewing. Read on.

As I understand it, the proposed bail-out is shooting seven hundred
billion dollar-sized bullets into the dark. But banks know where
their money is. We could figure out exactly how risky each asset is,
exactly how much exposure each institution has to bad loans or
collapsing stocks and bonds, and what the overall health of each
institution is.

I just read an article entitled Is Google Spreading Itself Too Thin? over at ReadWriteWeb. It repeats the endless canard that Google hasn't built another business yet to rival its initial search franchise. How dumb is that? No one has built another business on the web to equal Google's initial search franchise. It was a once-in-a-technology-generation business. Not only that,...

When Apple announced the iPhone SDK last year I said: [...] Jobs makes it clear that the platform won't be completely open. While he says that this is to balance the benefits of an open platform with user security protection, it's unclear where Apple will draw those lines. Will there be a Skype client? Third-party media apps? It would have...
