| No One’s Perfect Dept: How Steve Jobs Missed the Music Revolution |
| 2008-06-12 20:46:00 |
On the heels of Apple’s announcement of a $199 iPhone and the company’s continuing surge, it’s instructive to recall that CEO Steve Jobs isn’t always right. Enter the year 2001 into your Apple Time Machine to a period when the company was recording a $195 million loss — the only loss suffered since Jobs’ return to One Infinity Loop. The problem: iMac sales were dropping, partly because they lacked CD burners. Jobs had forseen the computer transforming into a control center for the entertainment digital hub, but his bet was that digital video — not music — was going to be a key to the iMac’s future success. He missed even what his own customers were showing him. “The rush to digital was especially marked in...

| Should Google Shoot Sergey Brin Into Space? |
| 2008-06-12 20:35:00 |
Google co-founder Sergey Brin plans to head to space. According to new York times Brin, an investor in Space Adventures, a Virginia-based space tourism outfit, is likely to hitch a ride on a Russian Soyuz en route to the International Space Station in 2011. Brin and Space Adventures are set to announce the trip on Wednesday. Now we’ve all seen adventuresome tech titans before. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison can often be found racing on the high seas. Virgin’s Richard Branson also is fascinated with space tourism. But Brin’s trip to space may be a different deal entirely because there are shareholders involved. What happens to Google if Brin’s space flight doesn’t go well? It’s a morbid thought, but the question is wor...

| Google Makes Us Stupid |
| 2008-06-11 10:30:00 |
So Nick Carr argues in the July/August issue of The Atlantic (not yet online). Think about this: how often do you search on Google (or any search engine) every day? How about the people you work with? Some of the article comes directly from the last chapter of Carr’s book “The Big Switch,” [see my review here] but he extends it around one central argument: Google will eventually become something we interface to with our brains, and we will become dependent on it, and thus stupid. He has a nice line about how our intelligence will become artificial intelligence. Carr is not a Luddite per se, but he joins a long line of techno-skeptics going all the way back to Socrates, who argued that people should not write things down, because it would impair the...

The Source: A recent study by researchers at Ohio State University and University of California, Irvine published in the Journal of Computer Mediated Communication.The Takeaway: The researchers spoke to nearly 1,000 randomly selected people from 12 different US metropolitan areas who worked at least 30 hours per week in an office and used a computer for at least five hours in a workday. What they found explodes the myth that Yahoo or G-chat is holding back your employees’ productivity. The research showed: Instant messaging was often used as a ...

| Five Ways to Beat Stress at Work |
| 2008-06-11 00:25:00 |
Everyone gets stressed from time to time, usually at the office. The question is, do you send stress packing or let it upset your whole day? If you fall into the latter category, check out Dumb Little Man’s five tips on relaxing at work when stress strikes. For starters, breathe: All you need to do is sit down and very slowly bring your attention to your breath. Focus on the feeling of the breath going in and out of your nose. If other thoughts enter into your mind just let them pass. Don’t judge them or try to force them out. Just notice them and then bring your awareness back to the breath. Now we are going to count 10 rounds of the breath. A “round” is one inhale and one exhale. This is a lot harder than you think because the stressed mind will ...

| SnagIt - Screen Capture Program |
| 2008-06-10 23:58:00 |
The editors at Download.com have always liked the top-rated screen-capture program SnagIt.

| Save Time with Six Firefox Extensions |
| 2008-06-09 22:25:00 |
MakeUseOf lists six Firefox extensions that can save you time, usually by automating or simplifying common tasks. For example: Hyperwords - All in the Right Click! This is undoubtedly one of the best Firefox extensions available and my favourite too. It adds a huge number of options to the mouse right-click, thereby saving you a lot of time. For example: You want to look up the meaning of a word, translate it to a different language, check it in Wikipedia, find the Whois or Google links info about a page — you get all that in the right click. You don’t need to open a separate tab and go to another web page. The author also mentions TinyURL Creator, one of my personal favorites. (It turns long URLs into short ones...

| Add Plain-English Calendar Entries to Outlook with Easy2Add |
| 2008-06-09 21:45:00 |
Google Calendar users have the enviable option to create new events using plain English: “Lunch meeting with Joe tomorrow at Panera Bread,” for example. Freeware applet Easy2Add adds the same capability to Outlook, allowing you to create appointments just by typing a line of text. The applet sits in your Windows System Tray. Click it (or press Ctrl-Shift-A), then type your appointment details. Outlook doesn’t even have to be running. Hit Enter and you’re done! You also have the option of opening the newly created appointment so you can double-check the info and/or tweak the details. Easy2Add is free; it requires Outlook 2000 or later. Based on my quick tests, it’s a great little time-saver. [via Lifehacker]By Rick Broida

| Reduce Cold Starts to Save Gas |
| 2008-06-08 13:44:00 |
With rising gas prices putting extra strain on wallets across the country, Smart Money magazine offers strategies for saving money at the pump, including changing the way you drive to use gas more efficiently. For example, combining errands into a single run instead of separate outings can help:Cars use much more energy for cold starts (i.e; when the car hasn't been driven in a couple of hours and the engine is cool), says [vehicle analyst Shruti] Vaidyanathan. In fact, making several cold-start trips, say, to the store, the dry cleaners and the babysitter, will consume twice as much fuel than if you combine errands and make them all in one run, according to FuelEconomy.gov. An owner of a 2008 Ford Focus, who combines 10 errands (each requiring 10 miles of driving) into two weekly trips co...

| Top 10 Mysteries of the Mind |
| 2008-06-08 01:39:00 |
10. Sweet DreamsIf you were to ask 10 people what dreams are made of, you'd probably get 10 different answers. That's because scientists are still unraveling this mystery. One possibility: Dreaming exercises brain by stimulating the trafficking of synapses between brain cells. Another theory is that people dream about tasks and emotions that they didn't take care of during the day, and that the process can help solidify thoughts and memories. In general, scientists agree that dreaming happens during your deepest sleep, called Rapid Eye Movement (REM).9. Slumber SleuthFruit flies do it. Tigers do it. And humans can't seem to get enough of it. No, not that. We're talking about shut-eye, so crucial we spend more than a quarter of our lives at it. Yet the underlying reasons for sleep remain as...
