Another way the technology will help you in the very near future. Don’t mind the fact that the software is slow or the fact that the screen takes 2 seconds to do a refresh. The important part is the hardware behind this gadget. I am sure that in less than 2 years time we will have an ebook reader which will have colors, very good refresh time (maybe even video capable) and if we are lucky will be subsidized by the content providers (the same thing that the communication companies are doing now with the phones).

Siri – Virtual Assistant

Take a look at the video below

and then read the review from Techcrunch. I am inclined to say that the company behind this piece of software is going to be big in the very near future

This morning on my Engadget feed I found a possible future gem. So far it doesn’t do much, but the concepts are very interesting. Still thinking about the implications.

PicLens – Software gem

Tudor — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 12:20:02 +0000

I have PicLens installed for my Firefox browser for more than 6 months now. I used it from time to time for Picassa or Flickr and I really liked the way the slideshows were displayed and the feeling of the visual search.

The reason I am writing this post is because today I had a small “revelation”. I noticed this week the automated update of the extension to 1.7, but today I used it for the first time. If you click on the Discover icon on the top left you will see something similar with Google News, but focused on photos and videos that can be played inside the interface. If you go to the top right you will notice the search box that gives you access to the search engines (Amazon, Google and so on) . You should use it

Is clear to me that PicLens can evolve anytime in the perfect 10 ft interface that can take over your internet enabled living room tv.

Not your usual concert

I am pretty sure that this symphony orchestra actually follows the conductor and not the first violin (backup conductor ).

Because lately I got interested in what it takes to succeed in a startup environment, I got to see this presentation by the David Heinemeir (ruby on rails creator) . A lot of common sense advices but sometimes it helps to be reminded of those advices.
