Finally, Google responded to Yahoo's acquisition of del.icio.us by developing his own service, named Google Shared Stuff. The service looks crappy, but I think that's because the lack of users in the system. Being a kind of service heavily dependent on the network effect, it will take a while for the service to bloom and flourish. I'm willing to try it, since del.icio.us is getting slower and slower search results.Posted by bordalix Thu, 20 Sep 2007 18:13:00 GMT
A great article about the path Apple is taking. Since the launch of the iPhone, and lately the new iPod touch, people is complaining about some of Apple decisions.
Dear Steve, please take a moment to read it and think about the subject. And remember, 'one bad apple spoils the barrel'.

It's not really a personal mp3 player due to is size, but is definitely a breeze of fresh air in the market.

John Kanzius, a former broadcast executive, can become the man of century. While experimenting with a machine he had invented to test a new cancer treatment, by using radio waves to destroy tumor cells, he found a way to burn seawater.The big question is if the burning generates more energy than it takes to make the radio waves needed to weaken the bonds that hold water molecules together. Kanzius has admitted that this is currently not the case, but it could be, thus giving birth to the most disruptive discovery of the century.
More details about the process are not known, since Kanzius is applying for a patent, but you can see it working in the following YouTube video:

Update: Another friend sent me another great video, which I placed in the bottom of this article. And you? Do you have any good video to share?
A friend sent me a YouTube video of a paint artist making a painting in a live audience, synchronized with the music. It's a great video, and you should watch it to the end:
Now is my turn to send her another great video, a great artist working with sand (!), also with a live audience, and also synchronized with the music. Great great video:

Update 19-7-2007: Reuters confirms the rumour.
If this is true, Apple stock will go ballistic. Steve Jobs talked about selling 800.000 iPhones this year, and forecasted 10 million in 2008 (1% of market share). If what iSuppli states is true, the iPhone outsold all smartphones in the United States in July, its first full month on sale, accounting for 1.8 percent of all U.S. mobile handset sales. iSuppli forecast for iPhone sales this year is now 4.5 million.
Can't wait for the European (read 3G) version.
