Google Phone…Asking why.

I was just reading this line from CNET’s article a few weeks ago about Google’s Marissa Mayer talking about iPhones and Google applications. To date I hadn’t read anything about these kind of numbers (football season might be taking away from all that new media reading), so they struck me as very interesting:

The iPhone? I Was Right…That’s all.

Ok, so I could have chosen a less obnoxious title. Also, it’s not like I was the only one making the point…but STILL.
Today we find out many things from Apple, including that they are releasing the iPod “Touch,” which is basically an iPhone without the phone. What I found almost more interesting was the following:
1) [...]

Facebook Gets Searchable

From Mashable, among others, we find that Facebook will soon be listing profiles in search engined like Google, MSN and Yahoo. So if you have a Facebook profile and you have not set it to private, I can “Google” you and find your Facebook page.

Done Deal – Hacked iPhone for a Car and 3 8GB New Ones

In case you hadn’t seen it, George Hotz, the teenager from New Jersey who has spent the last two months (yes, 500 hours of time) hacking the iPhone so that it’s compatible with carriers other than AT&T, has traded his newly created device. The deal? Hotz traded his “invention” to CertiCell, a Kentcucky-based cell phone [...]

Google has formally announced that it will begin trying ads on select YouTube videos. The way this will work, according to the announcement, is by having a short ad rise up from the bottom 20% of the video. The ad will have an X for you to close it out if you wish, and if [...]

Google Video Downloads…They Tried, Failed, Tried, Messed Up and now Try Again

In case you missed it, Google officially ended its DTO/DTR (download to own, download to rent) video service last week. Google let folks who had previously purchased a video know (like me!) that:
…we will no longer offer the ability to buy or rent videos for download from Google Video, ending the DTO/DTR (download-to-own/rent) program. This [...]

More Companies in on YouTube Lawsuit

It was announced Monday that the National Music Publishers Association has joined folks such as Viacom (MTV & Comedy Central), Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon in their suit against Google’s YouTube for copyright violations. The problem, as many know, is quite simple – these companies believe that YouTube is seeing success, audience and profit (well, at [...]

iPhone Apps…

Just a cool site worth taking a look at – http://iphoneapps.cnet.com.
The folks at CNET show some cool apps that have been developed specifically for iPhones. Including….Da da da Daaaaa – the tip calculator. Is it possible to have any electronic device that doesn’t calculate tip? I don’t think so.
Enjoy…

How does your favorite site look on your phone?

Thought this article was a good one from MicroPersuasion. It talks about an increasingly relevant issue (rising, of course, with iPhones all over the place now) – mobile sites and their compatibility and display on different mobile devices. As the article points out, most sites (at least the ones who think that there might actually [...]
