Brian Meidell has a brief write up about the new chip that will be in the PS3, while I don’t particularly understand the most technical parts of the 2 articles. I’m knowledgable enough to know it’s going to rock. Let’s see how the xbox responds, with a multipurpose computer or with something else?
One thing the big corporate companies have right is tech support and it really helps how I feel about the company. At work we have a couple of support agreements and it saves time and money if you can call them and speak to a tech within 5 minutes.
Microsoft and Symantec have perfected it, and […]
Diego has been writing about a project of his the “Conversation Engine”. I thought I would add a few thoughts to the fray that might help.
For discovery a simple RPC-Ping can be used, this can then add that site onto the spidering queue. To maintain the small scale test of the engine to begin with […]

Scoble has lost alot of credibility with me today. Looking at the times he has posted he has been active on his weblog at 2 separate times in the last day and hasn’t posted the biggest IT related news (IMHO) of the day. The release of Firefox. I should be giving him the benefit of […]
I’ve take to using grep and a //TODO comment to handle my project management on my project. It’s better than keeping a list in a separate file cause this also keeps the context of what you wanted to do.
Dave Winer is excited about the new Google Desktop Search, he says they need to allow users to add their own drivers which allow more content types to be searchable. I agree totally with his thinking that they need to open it up. This is going to show us if Google get’s it.
I’m very interested in the Firefox development process, I’m slowly working my way into hacking on it. However, the release goals for 1.0 don’t seem clear to me, at the moment the release is being targeted very much towards the home user and I don’t believe this is a good thing.
