As we’ve noted several times, Google Wave is a service that is fairly hard to explain. And for many people, it’s also hard to understand. That seems somewhat reasonable given that it’s trying to be a new form of communication and that it is still very early in its life span. But just how hard is it to understand? A new webs (Read More)

I love Reddit’s self-post category. For those unfamiliar with a self-post, it’s a Reddit post that links back to itself; it’s useful for questions, polls and discussion. While often misused, the community at Reddit rewards and votes mostly for interesting ones, and there’s a very cool one at the front page today. In it, a c (Read More)

Google just received a design patent for Google Search's homepage. It took the US Patent Office over five years to approve this patent (D599,372) for the design of a "graphical user interface for a display screen of a communications terminal," but Google's request was finally approved yesterday. The company already owned a (Read More)

Delicious was once one of the hottest social sites on the Internet. That’s why Yahoo bought it in 2005. But it’s weird now to even think about it as a social site, I get more of the utilitarian vibe from it these days. People still use it, but it’s more of a repository. Or, to put it another way, it’s where links go to die. (Read More)

I have loved the iPhone, but now I am quitting the iPhone. This is not an easy decision.I was there in January 2007 when it was announced and I bought the first iPhone as soon as it was available. I happily bought the iPhone 3G a year later. I’ve proudly yelled “I Am A Member Of The Cult Of iPhone.” I’ve been an unabashed c (Read More)
: I quit the iPhone before even buying it. All the complaints over AT&T and I figured it wasn't worth it. Too bad... once again a business decision is limiting adoption (which is what the business wants most).
: I despise AT&T with a passion! As a former employee of SBC (who bought AT&T), I vowed NEVER to give SBC any of my money. I switched my cell service to Verizon, my "landline" to Vonage, my internet to Comcast.
If Apple cared about its customers, it would make its phone carrier-independent. It has the muscle of the market behind it, too. Nobody who uses an iPhone gives a damn that AT&T is the carrier, except for the shoddy coverage, dropped calls, and horrible data plan (in other words, folks would love to use ANY OTHER carrier).
I would consider buying an iPhone if they weren't tied to AT&T. Not sure who the bonehead at Apple who drove that deal was, but he ought to be stoned.
