For a brief time, RSSmeme was the only Google Reader aggregator in town after ReadBurner closed up shop. But not too much later, ReadBurner was purchased and relaunched (our coverage), putting the two sites in competition once again. However, it looks like...

Aliph's new Jawbone (the sequel) hands-on and unboxing
via Engadget by Paul Miller on May 15, 2008
Filed under: PeripheralsWe got to spend a little bit of time with Aliph's new Jawbone headset, and we'll confess we're a tad smitten. The headset is considerably smaller than its predecessor, and the improved earbud design gave us a comfortable fit right out of the box -- with other options waiting in the wings. That old overly-complicated ear hook is gone in favor of a simple,...

Orange data tariffs - the saga continues
via Coolsmartphone News by (author unknown) on May 13, 2008
As you'll all know by now, I'm currently on Orange. I'm one of the many customers who are paying a rather large amount of cash for data. Today I've been charged nearly £12 for using just 7Mb of data, which seems to come from the "Pay As You Use" prices mentioned here. Pretty much all the other networks in the UK are aware that people will only use the mobile internet if...

iPods Get Sexy New Video Glasses
via Gizmodo UK by Martin Lynch on May 12, 2008
Video glasses are not new but most of them tend to be ugly as sin, making you look like Star Trek’s No. 1 convention fan at 100 paces. Myvu has been working hard to shrink them and style them so that consumers can buy what look like a funky pair of sunglasses but with the added bonus of being able to watch movies on the inside. These are the Crystal 701 iPod Edition glasses for use with iPods,...

House passes bill that will let the RIAA take away your home for downloading music
via Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow on May 09, 2008
Glenn sez,I was just alerted that the House of Reps has passed HR 4279, with the lovely name, PRO-IP (Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008). Like the doublespeak PATRIOT Act and Peacekeeper missiles, PRO-IP puts local law enforcement in a position to demand the forfeiture in criminal proceedings of stuff used to violate copyright. Which means that instead...

via Robert Scoble's shared items in Google Reader by Corvida on May 04, 2008
Lots of Twitter guides tell you what you should do, but rarely explain how it should be done. When joining Twitter, finding a "tweeting", or messaging, balance will be rocky at first. Don’t worry, that’s expected and we’ve all been through it. Don’t give up. If you’re taking any of the thousands of tips out there and you’re still not seeing good results, try tweaking your Twitter...
