An Historic Press Release
SidGabriel — Fri, 01/20/2012 - 04:16
No doubt emboldened by the recent recognition of Kopism by The Sweedish Government and the outright wrongness of the US government's pursuit of the power to, at will, delete whole parts of the Internet, The Stewards of The Pirate Bay have made a press release where they courageously stand up, unashamedly declaring their principles. To me, this release sounds a turn of the tide in the near 16 year long battle to establish an indelible repository of the creations of humankind that operates independent of royalty, government, religion or regime.

the armor, the sticks and overtime hours of the "Egyptian Zucotti
Redux Extreme" spectacle that ended 2011. These are frames taken from
videos that reached the outside world via smart phones. The frames are
stylized using a process known as tilt-shifting. The depth of field

Faceboook and the FTC came to a settlement on privacy concerns that were brought to light last year when brave independent bloggers relentlessly assailed the Social Network's shifting and unclear privacy policy.
Qualcomm Augmented Reality "QCAR" SDK Released
SidGabriel — Tue, 10/05/2010 - 15:10
QCAR SDK is the first SDK made specifically for mobile phones running
Android. From the looks of it, QCAR supports some form of natural
feature and marker tracking as well as 3D. You can get the SDK from
the QDevNet site, which requires a free registration. For some reason,
QDEVNET takes 15 minutes to create a new developer account and until
your account is created, you can't download the SDK. You'd be smart
@War: Apple 3.3.1 to escalate losses for Silicon Valley VCs, Storm Ventures takes biggest hit

UPDATE: While I personally think that Apple has fast become the embodiment of closed. I respect CEOs who take risks.

It was suggested that I use Google Wave for a recent project. It had been six months since the GTUG Campout at Google's Campus where I participated in a 3 day hackathon event focused on Wave. I figured it was worth another look.
Joshua Topolsky Is Wrong - Only Android Can Save Palm Now [rant]
SidGabriel — Sat, 03/20/2010 - 15:02
Joshua Topolsky saved Engadget years ago, I love his writing and his
penetrating focus on detail. Sometimes he's stuck in "the box" though
and his article on Palm advises them to "go faster" doing more of the
same. While he is right that the ads suck I don't remember him being
at all the developer events I've covered. He didn't see the look in
