The Sun cloud is dead

Well, what did you expect? It’s the first indication of what Larry is going to do to all of Sun’s open source projects,

WE MEET AGAIN MR. BOND ... OR IS IT POWERS ... DID YOU SAY FLINT??? NEVER HEARD OF HIM!!! SHOOT HIM ANYWAY!

though Oracle’s chief corporate architect, Edward Screven (that’s his name? You’re putting me on, right? That’s a Bond villain isn’t it? No, wait Austin Powers, I get them mixed up. Or was it Derek Flint? I do miss James Coburn, he was one cool hombre … oh, right, the blog, thank you, My Fair Lady), had the pleasure of pronouncing the death sentence. Did you see what I meant earlier by Scott McNeally being delusional?


Mac Live mixes it up with Mosspuppet

Farhad Manjoo thumbs up on iPad

It’s like reading a less profane, coherent, subdued version of Mosspuppet,

The iPad is very very very good to me!

but Farhad digs his iPad and calls it the perfect companion or second computer, great for e-mail and browsing, unless you’re a fan of Adobe Flash, which iPhone OS still does not support. Nevertheless, you can still watch YouTube videos, so don’t get your panties in a twist little girls. It’s a great eReader, for books, magazines or newspapers. And no, you can’t download Firefox or Chrome to use on the iPad. Just try it, freetards, try it! It’s Safari or no information highway, amigo.

Conde Nast and News Corporation will be selling their online editions via a subscription on the iPad (for those prices, it better be without adverstising) with Apple getting a healthy cut.

Now that the genie is out of the bottle, will there be a war of proprietary tablets, each with their own walled off content, will the freetards and Google come up with an alternative tablet that propagates freedom of information?

And where is China  in all this?

Not Bavaria!

There are no Chinese here, so quit nosing around, okay?

CNET’s iPad wrap-up


Barry getting pretty pushy

At least that’s the vibe the Huffington Post article gives off. Presidential Dude, he already delivered one package today. Isn’t that enough?

Here you go- in 12 different resolutions, no less.  


iJustine is the Internet


iTard

My mind is just reeling with the number of captions that would be appropriate for this protestor outside YBG today.  (Nice outfit, though.)


I’ll have my Kindle on toast, please

Because that’s what the Kindle will end up becoming. Toast. With jam from Trader Joe’s. Seattle website TechFlash has a side-by-side comparison of the Kindle and the iPad. Go here.
