Chrome OS will be your TV's operating system
The talk of convergence between the TV and the computer has existed for decades. Currently, there are two problems preventing this blending of technology: the TV does not have a native PC operating system AND most people use cable (or satellite) boxes to connect to content. The latter come with their own operating systems (which are pretty bad), eliminating much of the need for a native...

Location! Location! Location Based Services! →
MG Siegler of TechCrunch posted a good article on the power of location based services (“LBS”) and how we will derive increasing value from them as they become more mainstream. I’ll simply add that the most important feature in LBS ability to go mainstream and prove useful will be the handling of the signal to noise ratio: the amount of useful information coming that you care...

The truth about college.
evangotlib: laurakelly00: lickystickypickyme: College is a bunch of rooms where you sit for 2,000 hours or so and try to memorize things. The 2,000 hours are spread out over four years. You spend the rest of the time sleeping, partying, and trying to get dates. Basically, you learn two kinds of things in college: 1. Things you will need to know in later life (two...

xoai: Fourth grade girl thinks she is about to give a school report on where her Dad is stationed in Iraq and is surprised when he shows up for her report. Really touching. Try not to cry.

Teens Texting While Driving in Alarming Numbers... →
A few weeks ago I wrote an article about the need for more IT in the car and how companies like Apple were well positioned to capitalize on the opportunity.  Increasingly, there is more and more evidence that people want and need a car that is more connected.  It used to be people were just talking on the phone, and study after study showed that doing so made drivers less focused on the road.  The...

Last Night's Check-ins →
heyitsnoah: Doug Pfeffer, my supremely talented colleague at The Barbarian Group, has finally launched his newest creation, which I’ve been playing with for the last few months. It’s called Last Night’s Check-ins and it’s an elegantly simple idea/execution. Basically, it takes all your Foursquare check-ins from the evening before and emails them to you the next morning for annotation. You simply...

Interesting thoughts about the backwardness of... →
Most of us have experienced the dismal prospect of using a crappy computer at work, and how crippling it can be to productivity.  I began bringing in my own laptop all the way back in 2001 for my first summer job.  The office machine I was given was simply awful (a dinosaur running Windows 95).  I’ve worked for myself for some time now and have had a recent Mac laptop or desktop for much of...

Oh my God, you're FORCING me to buy insurance!
jayparkinsonmd: soupsoup: This is my favorite cockamamie argument against universal insurance. The same people who hate paying taxes have no problem paying for the uninsured, instead of forcing EVERYONE to buy insurance. We don’t deny medical care to ANYONE in this country, regardless of insurance coverage. Why not make sure EVERYONE is already covered so YOU don’t have to pay for someone...
