Well, it seems like E Ink Corporation has been tweaking their eInk displays (like the one in the Sony Reader), making them faster and enhancing the brightness, according to a report on EETimes.
“E Ink continues to be at the forefront of the electronic paper
revolution. This is a major improvement because the electronic ink in
the imaging [...]

Well, as you have probably been reading all over the blogosphere by now, Google Analytics got a facelift.
And it’s a nice-looking facelift.
My account got the update late yesterday, and I really like what I see. The graphs, the interactivity, the representation of the data…pretty nice stuff.
Yes, I know you can hear the “but…” coming already.
The [...]

I found this interesting post about Vista, called Vista - Arrogance & Stupidity.
Andrew Grygus writes an interesting view into why there’s so little people upgrading to Vista. So far, I haven’t seen anybody I know that has updated to Vista yet, not in corporations nor at homes. Yes, there are a couple of clients whose [...]

Joe Wikert got a loaner Sony Reader from the company dudes, and did a review a review about his experience with it.

Firefox 1.5:
This version of Firefox will be supported [...]

I found these two articles yesterday, and thought they would be a good read for the three people who stumble around here :)
The first one is a month old, and it’s an interesting view into 30 Days with Ubuntu Linux.
Brian Boyko, the reviewer, decides to take 30 days of exclusive use of Ubuntu at home [...]

Well, it seems like Google finally found a way to invest all that money in something that nobody’ll complain about…free wireless broadband for all! :) TiSP (still in beta) is a very interesting service, in which you get the necessary equipment free from google, and an 8Mbps down/2Mbps up wireless link…what’s the catch? that if [...]

Ok, I found this on endgadget and…it’s weird lol!
At the AutoRAI car show in Amsterdam, a group of Dutch researchers presented what they called “the world’s first open source car”, calling it “c,mm,n” (pronounced “common”); what makes it open source? You have access to blueprints and tech drawings and can modify it any which way [...]

Well, Ian Murdock (the -ian in debian), has been Sun’s Chief Operating Platforms Officer for eight days (yesterday), and he got thrown into the SDForum event in Santa Clara, to talk about “Platform 2.0: The Next Generation”, in which he talked about how he wants to make Open Solaris more appealing to the linux developers.
He [...]
