Matthew Ingram today points out that public webmetrics are in dire need for some more accuracy. Both he and Richard MacManus of Read/WriteWeb point out how digg.com has apparently grown by 1400% over the last year with 22.6 Million uniques.
From Matthew:
Digg said last October that it had 20 million visitors. But if it has grown […]

What We Know About the iPhone
June 20, 2007 | 2 Comments
I remain surprised about how much we don’t know about the iPhone even just a week before its launch.
To help us all out,Lepton has written up a list of fifty features that are/might/could be part of the deal when you buy your iPhone next Friday.
One thing I especially wonder about is how the iPhone handles […]

Just when the hype around Second Life is dying down, the Wall Street Journal features an article on job interviews in Second Life.
A number of big companies put the new medium to a test last month, when recruitment-advertising firm TMP Worldwide Advertising & Communications LLC hosted a virtual job fair with employers such as Hewlett-Packard […]

Google today bought Zenter - a Y Combinator startup that didn’t even make it out of private beta before being snapped up.
With this acquisition, Google should be able to complete its Docs and Spreadsheet product with a presentation app soon. Together with Google Gears, that would indeed be a killer app (but still not enough […]

Here is a little blurb from the Drudge Report from today:
ONLINE NEWS RACE 6/16/07: YAHOO! TOPS MSNBC, CNN; ‘DRUDGE REPORT’ MORE SEARCHED THAN ‘PARIS HILTON’…
That sounds as if more people were interested in the Drudge Report (#6) than Paris Hilton (#8) - an unlikely event. The actual data from Hitwise tells a somewhat different story […]

Josh Bancroft today has some interesting observations about why he thinks there is no iPhone SDK and why it infuriates developers so much:
Members of the Apple Developer program could buy an Intel-based development kit MONTHS before the first Intel Mac was available at retail. As soon as the switch to Intel was announced, in fact. […]

John Paczkowski at All Things Digital reports that Apple’s claim of eight hours of talk time for the iPhone was based upon observations under laboratory conditions and might not be what consumers can expect in real world use when they get their hands on one on Friday:
Anyway … it’s worth noting that Apple’s latest iPhone […]

[begin rant]
Following the tech news in the last two weeks or so, I continually surprise myself by my general disinterest in what is going on these days. I already didn’t care much for the twitter hype at the beginning of the year, and these last few weeks have seen little interesting news besides the […]

While a lot of people are wondering why Apple released Safari on Windows, I have been playing around with the browser for a while now.
My first observations is a very simple one: my underpowered Dell 700m with an old Pentium M and running Windows XP runs Safari great. It is snappy and at least just […]

Techmeme this morning is bustling with bad news about Apple’s Safari browser on Windows.
Various people have not only found major bugs (which is expected from a beta), but also possibly exploitable bugs that could have major security ramifications.
Personally, I am not even so much concerned with the security issues right now, but with the fact […]

Safari on Windows - Call me Underwhelmed
June 11, 2007 | 2 Comments
The Apple Keynote was a major letdown today - no doubt about it.
The only tangible (or virtual) news coming out of it was that Apple’s Safari browser now runs on Windows, too.
I have been playing around with it for a while now and here are my first observations:
It’s ugly - the plain gray background clashes […]

I have been following the Apple Keynote today, and so far, there has been very little exciting that has been announced.
If Safari now being available on Windows is the only “One next thing” for today, there will be a lot of unhappy fanboys. (My take on Safari on Windows is available here)
Jobs hasn’t even mentioned […]
