Why can't Americans have good, small diesels? {Autoblog Green}
Oct 19th 2009 2:39PM I am looking for predictions on what diesel prices will be doing relative to gasoline in the future. What are the forces that dictate the price differential?
First Look: ZenNews brings the news cloud to your iPhone {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 15th 2009 12:53PM No, seriously. Check out Al Jazeera's (US site anyway). If I want opinion pieces I can check out the various big networks' sites, but if I just want to know what is going on I go to wikipedia if I want chronology but Al Jazeera if I want just an unspun overview. (Caveat: I've lived oversees so I may care more about international news than most Americans.)
Sony PSP Go game dev taken aback by lofty ESRB rating costs {Engadget}
Oct 12th 2009 12:59PM The angle that interests is closed-versus open nature of the market place.
For a PC, no one's reviewing the game, right? Microsoft or Dell or whoever makes a product and then EA or Ambrosia or whoever make some software. The ESRB provides a service to retailers (perhaps arguably to parents) who need to know the content but don't want to be responsible for previewing each title before it can show up on the shelf.
On the iPhone (and, I thought on the PSP Go) there is no independent channel. Everything has to pass by the equivalent of the "Microsoft or Dell or whoever" on the way to the consumer, cutting out the Gamespots or whoever.
If Apple stopped reviewing titles then there would be a need for a gatekeeper, perhaps. But for now I think a developer has to attach an age rating and then Apple's reviews evaluate whether that is accurate.

Oct 7th 2009 5:09PM I laugh that Apple store still has the 2nd Gen for sale. Case is necessary for me.
Is Apple behind the development of Intel's Light Peak? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 26th 2009 10:04PM display port is exactly what I thought of. Duplexed data streams. Apple seems to be interested in getting the most out of the pipes.

Friday fakes: The best of the bogus {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Aug 21st 2009 11:33AM The concept via get two things right IMO, the unibody aluminum vs the ipod resin and the SL instead of iPhone OS.
My vote, like others is for the 'chins' on on the portrait like the iPhone instead of on a long edge. I think typing while holding the devise is going to happen in portrait, not landscape.
Bravo. I can't say I'm saving for it, but I am clearing space on credit card. That's my generations version of saving.
