Last week I asked “Will AT&T use their iPad and iPhone data plans to attack net neutrality?” Today, Steve Jobs stood on stage and did exactly as predicted, he showed that Apple will be a preferential media delivery partner of AT&T. This is an opening shot in what I suspect will be the unraveling of [...]

I’ve had an iPad for a couple of weeks now and I love it. I’m finding new ways each day that it’s insinuating its way into my routines. While it’s an unnecessary device, it’s a seriously enjoyable one and it’s been getting better already thanks to the efforts of talented developers contributing new applications. It’s [...]

The data I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the soon-to-be-released iPads coming on April 3rd will include an onboard camera and video chart enabled via iChat [NOTE: I Am wrong. See update at bottom of post]. I think Apple just hinted it very strongly with the commercial that aired during [...]

I recently discovered the craigmod journal, a smallish set of well-articulated explorations on book design, photography, illustration, and interactive design. Each entry in the craigmod journal is a gem: clear writing, lots of data, thoughtful layout, and beautiful design. It’s a reminder of how wonderful a blog can be when the focus is on quality [...]

I must say, I really like how Google and Bing both work a bit of serendipity into their search engines these days. It helps to go to the site and see a dash of playfulness and personality and adds a human touch, a feeling that there is some editor working on pleasantly surprising the users [...]

The Technologizer has written a super in-depth review of the new Nook eReader being sold (though not yet fulfilled) from Barnes and Noble. Overall, he finds it a mixed but promising offering.

The News Hour with Jim Lehrer dove into the discussion about how reading and publishing is changing as a result of big box retailers with their pricing wars and as the web and digital devices begin to circumvent the old publishing industry. It’s a thoughtful 11:30 minute take on the state of the book world [...]

Yeah, you heard me right, that’s not a typo – it’s “Vook“. Strange name for a great overall concept and product that’s a harbinger of what’s to come. All you stodgy warthogs who think that it’s only about the printed page need a reality check. Most authors care about delivering their message and the printed [...]
