@jasongoldberg Check this out!Who says a company shouldn't be political! Then again, they can probably say just about anything and weather the consequences of it. "It's good to be the King". History of the World, Part One.

@friarminor I always thought that Colin Powell would make a great President. In his statement he just ABC'd the reasons he's voting for him in a clear and powerful way. I'll bet Powell will have a post in Obama's cabinet.

: Mixing business and politics has a LOT of negative sides, but it also seems senseless not to take a position on something so important. I think Obama has said Powell is welcome in any capacity - it's up to him to decide the level.

: 1) A way of somehow unmarking articles that get dumped into the wrong networks. Obama items get dropped into climate change, socialmedian articles get dropped into apple.

2) A way of marking and article as "Not Interested" so it is hidden from my feed.

Beyond mobile broadband, WiMAX is about blowing up the wireless business model
Oct 13, 2008

Submitted by Michaelfidler: On Wednesday in Baltimore at the official launch of America’s first mobile WiMAX network, Sprint CTO Barry West said that if this was only about launching a new type of network with faster performance then it would be significant. However, it is abundantly clear that for West, Sprint, and their band of high-profile WiMAX pa (Read More)

: Article makes some good points about Wimax's significance. Every chip being (by default) on the net, makes for some very interesting scenarios. Looks like Sprint is boxing clever here business wise.

They had a very obvious product placement in Heroes the other night, where the characters are in the middle of the desert, and can't get signal. "Should have gone with Sprint" says the one. At the time I thought it was shamefully bad taste, but considering WiMax's range, I may just be able to forgive them slightly now ;)

@niksmit Here's two video links. The related stories are interesting also. The first is long, yet informative, the second is fairly short. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=wireless_trends_and_technologies&articleId=9116479&taxonomyId=78&intsrc=kc_top

@niksmit I need to find it again but researches at MIT are working with Wall sized multi-touch screens. They allow for users to interact with complex data, display video, and most importantly allow multiple users to work on the same screen/wall.
they can work independently or together, sharing data with a flick of a finger. I also forgot, it really excels in 3D virtual worlds I'll try to find it and let you now. It is so cool! I'm sure it will be some time before its ever ready for consumer use, so for now I guess we will have to settle for flexible OLED's.

: @michalefidler - thanks, that sounds interesting. I'm not 100% convinced that using our fingers/hands for all this interaction is actually the way to go. For something like a huge wall, it sounds a bit inefficient - a bit too much like hard work to get things done (although more exercise can't be a bad thing). In addition, your hands and fingers get in the way of what you're doing in a way we're not used to with mouse pointers. I suppose we'll only be able to properly evaluate once we start using large multi-touch devices properly, but what I'd like to see is an interface that uses our hands, feels very natural (Minority Report style), but doesn't require the hands to be *on* the surface.
