Jason Calacanis has a stunning link to Sam Zell, a newspaper owner who seems utterly clueless. There sure are lots of them... 2007-04-07T23:29:20ZUntitled entry permalink

Engadget says that the Apple TV requires HD. Just like the iPhone, someone didn't think about the world outside the United States where HDTV is not nearly as available. Plus, it doesn't currently support anything other than Apple's standard media formats. Why not just let people plonk on any QuickTime plugins they want? Utterly retarded. 2007-04-07T22:02:51ZUntitled entry permalink

Tom Croucher has pictures of the latest Ask.com adverts. They've had these silly things on the Tube. I really dislike technology adverts that don't talk about the damn product. This reminds me of the adverts that SanDisk put up a while back for their Sansa MP3 players - which made a big deal out of the fact that they aren't iPods. Yeah, we get it. You don't have as many users. Why exactly should I care? Perhaps if you told me about all the great features your product has I might use it. I presume that if you are advertising your product without explaining the advantages your site has over your competition, you don't have any advantages. I guess the Ask.com folks really are desperate. 2007-04-07T21:35:31ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
