Looks like Apple has heard the (loud) call for action and today, Steve Jobs announced that third party developers will get access to the iPhone and the iPod Touch in February of next year:
Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in […]

I just went to my site and a Google Analytics overlay just opened up out of nowhere. Is this new?

If Apple drops the price of DRM free iTunes Plus songs by $0.30, are they going to give a refund to those who bought the songs before the price drop? Are people going to protest about this? Petitions anybody?

Intel posted record Q3 results today and beat most analysts’ expectations:
Intel Corporation today announced third-quarter revenue of $10.1 billion, operating income of $2.2 billion, net income of $1.9 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of 31 cents.
“A combination of great products, strong and growing worldwide demand, and operational efficiency from our ongoing restructuring efforts […]

Jeremiah Owyang chastises bloggers for wasting Techmeme real estate (on the same issue, also see Mathew Ingram’s post here). Here is his list of the three strategies he sees blogger play on Techmeme:
1) When I look at the expanded view of Techmeme, all I see is a regurgitation of the same bloggers repeating the same […]

Just returned from a nice, but oh too short vacation. Doesn’t seem like much happened over the weekend, but I will spend some quality time with Google Reader to catch up.
I did notice though that Microsoft updated it Live/Local/Maps/Earth product (god knows what it is really called) with a feature that incorporates the high-resolution aerial […]

Going away for the weekend and unless there is any major catastrophe, I will be out of internet, cellphone and pager range until Monday morning.
Have a nice weekend.

Gabe, Where is the Filter?

I love Techmeme and I think Gabe Rivera is doing a great job with it, but what the hell is this story from a spam blog doing on there?
It is in reference to the NYT story on ABC news, but it is only a quote from the article. No more, no less. Actually, if […]

ABC News is Getting Desperate
October 12, 2007 | 2 Comments
According to the NYTimes, ABC is producing a newscast just for the web. Apparently it has been running for 20 months. I never noticed. Maybe that is also because it is almost impossible to find. I had to wait for it to scroll by at the bottom of the page. Here is the link for […]

TechCrunch has an other gloomy post about Joost up. Erik Schonfeld argues that Joost’s major competition isn’t from any specific site, but from Adobe inccoprorating the H.264 codec into Flash 9:
Once H.264 is part of Flash, the quality of streaming video on the Web will roughly double at current bandwidth speeds. That means YouTube videos […]

Some good news from Google today. They are speeding up the “infinity+1″ counter and adding more storage to GMail. Google Apps users will also get a boost in the next few days (for me, it is currently the same as my regular GMail: 2.9GB).
In April 2005, we started increasing Gmail storage as part of our […]

I was pretty down on Google’s Adsense Video Units this week. Just to see how they really work, I put one up right underneath the comment boxes to see how relevant the content really is.
I am planning to leave this up over the weekend and then I will probably take them down again, so don’t […]

(via Scoble) Haven’t had much time to parse this yet, but Yuvi did a great analysis of TechCrunch.
As we were talking about internal linking a few weeks ago, I will just focus on this:
TechCrunch links the most to itself. Atleast (sic!) 14 times more than the nearest content contributor, which is google.com. The links to […]

Dotspotter, a Digg clone focused on celebrity news, has been bought for $10 million by CBS according to paidContent.
Obviously, $10 million is a lot of money for a site that’s only 10 months old. However, while most of us in the tech blogosphere might not be aware of the site, I looked at the compete […]
