This Front Row BT remote is definitely cool! I might have to get an iMac for my bedroom as a media server and display… costs about the same as an LCD TV… 🙂

Now this is cool!

Splashpower
Splashpower is a wireless power solution:

? It enables you to power up your mobile phone and other portable devices, simply by dropping them on a mouse-mat-sized pad, called a SplashPad?
? No physical connection is required between the SplashPad and the device ? power is transferred wirelessly 
? Different devices can be charged on a single SplashPad at the same time
? Splashpower spells an end to hunting for the right charger, finding free socket spaces or fiddling with connectors and offers a solution to the charging problem of current and next generation portable products 

I tried to do a `p4 edit somefile` and it’s been more than 10 minutes and it’s still trying to do it… WTF?! Why would anyone use this POS revision control system instead of Subversion is beyond me.

Red team starting 1st and 3rd, pretty cool! I wonder when we’ll see self-driven F1 cars…. 😉

Interesting insights on the NNW/NewsGator deal: NewsGator Acquires NetNewsWire

I’ve been using NetNewsWire since I got my Mac, just read that they (well, he) got bought by NewsGator. I have a NewsGator account, but I haven’t used it for a long time… Their Windows RSS reader was very good, but not good enough for me to pay for it. I hope they would continue the free “Lite” version of NNW.

NetNewsWire Mac feedreader bought by NewsGator:
Cory Doctorow:
I’m a committed user of NetNewsWire, a feedreader for the Mac that’s got a clean, easy-to-use UI and is pretty responsive. The author of NNW, Brent Simmons, has been really excellent about following up on bug reports, something that has really given me ongoing confidence in the app.

Now NewsGator, a company that makes a Windows-based feedreader of the same name, has purchased Brent’s company, Ranchero Software and hired Brent to go on developing NNW. This has got to be great news for all concerned — Brent gets a little dough and more support to go on developing his great tools, Newsgator gets to add a badly needed Mac app to its lineup.

Congrats Brent! Looking forward to lots more NetNewsWire updates — this is the app that lets me drink straight from the Internet firehose and I couldn’t live without it.

(Thanks, Mike and Daniel!)

looking at the sarge upgrade list, looks like SpamAssassin will not be upgraded, that sucks. 3.1 is out, FreeBSD -STABLE ports has 3.1, well, but I’d take Debian over FreeBSD any day… 😉
