Arrington Gets His Hands On Microsoft TouchWall
via TechCrunch by Mark Hendrickson on May 14, 2008
Mike had a chance yesterday to try out the new Microsoft TouchWall, which debuts at the CEO Summit today (more video at that second link).Watch the vid above to see how it responds to the touch of a new user. Not bad, I’d say, although it does get a bit jittery at times. It’s impressive that all of this is possible with just a few hundred dollars worth of off-the-shelf equipment (and some...

Brand new Google Reader for iPhone
via Official Google Reader Blog by dolapo on May 12, 2008
Mobile web browsers have come a long way since we first introduced an XHTML version of Reader back in 2006. For example, iPhone and iPod Touch owners know how powerful having a full-featured browser is. We on the Reader team are heavy mobile Safari users. Sometimes we use it to kill time, other times for answering important questions that come up during brunch: What is Tyrol's first name? How...

Why You Should Clean Your Keyboard--Right This Minute [Keyboards]
via Lifehacker by Gina Trapani on May 06, 2008
A new UK study shows that keyboards swabbed from an ordinary London office had more harmful bacteria than—you know what's coming—a toilet seat. Yeeks! The accompanying survey showed that most users clean their keyboard infrequently (if at all), and clean their mouse even less often. Here's what you do: shut down your PC, unplug your keyboard and mouse, shake out any dust, lint and...

Twitter Can Be Liberated - Here’s How
via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on May 05, 2008
Over the last few days a number of popular bloggers have complained, loudly, that it’s time to ditch Twitter and move to a decentralized version of the service that won’t go down every time usage spikes. Generally services like Twitter, once they reach a critical mass of users, can’t really be stopped because the network effect kicks in as a massive barrier to entry. But one aspect of...

Presdo, The Magical Online Scheduler
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on April 25, 2008
I want you to stop what you are doing right now and go try Presdo. It is a deceptively simple online scheduling assistant that is a prime example of what a modern Web app should be. It only shows you what you need to see at the moment that you need to see it. And it understands what you want to do based on normal (and not-so-normal) English that you type in. “We actually threw a lot...

Clear Channel digital billboards in SoCal hax0r3d
via Engadget by Nilay Patel on March 25, 2008
Filed under: Misc. GadgetsWe've gotten pretty used to seeing crashed digital billboards and signage dot the landscape, but just like regular billboards, what's really interesting is when the graffiti artists manage to get their ownmessages up on the big (big) screen. Looks like Clear Channel is the latest victim - 10 LA-area billboards owned by the media giant started displaying the logo...

Help Leah Culver pick the right man [Geek Love]
via Valleywag by Nicholas Carlson on March 17, 2008
Pownce founder Leah Culver has made more geeks go wild than we can count. For starters: Daniel Burka of Digg; LiveJournal founder Brad Fitzpatrick; and Justin.tv's Kyle Vogt. They're all history, however. One tipster confirms our suspicions that Culver and Flickr's Cal Henderson are "definitely dating." But another writes:I tried to hit on Leah Culver at a party not too long ago but...
