photoshop forensics: iHome pictures fake
In response to my post Rui noted some pics of what purports to be an Apple ‘iHome’. The photos aren’t photoshopped, but it looks to me like a mock up. I did some “forensic analysis” in photoshop (I’ve been doing a lot of image processing lately).

Will Apple's new box be a PVR?
I’m going to throw caution to the wind and make another prediction ( see previous ) about Apple. I think that their new headless system is going to be a PVR (like TiVo).

My iPhone article makes it big
I wrote an article for MobileWhack with some iPhone predictions . Amazingly enough, I’m now on the first page of google results for “iPhone” (although it may not last).

a crossword puzzle
I created this small crossword the other day. It’s done in the style of the NYTimes crossword, basically, but with some 2-letter words. The difficulty I would say is medium (my parents play-tested it).

Whacked!
MobileWhack saw fit to publish my article about the rumoured iPhone. Now that I haven’t worked for Apple for 3 years, I can feel free to speculate madly about the company without fear that my “predictions” will actually come from prior NDA-covered knowledge.

Soft pr0n and puppies
Read the rest of Soft pr0n and puppies
OK… technically, this is not pr0n. It’s probably about as close as you can possibly get with a bathing suit on and hands off, though. I mean, c’mon. But the real deal is the puppy. What is this? Is the puppy supposed to make it all OK? Is the puppy for women to look at? Is that the idea, that men will get the hussy with her ass in the air and women will get the puppy? And this thing is all over the net. I guess it sells… -
Surreal compliments
Man, I would love to get the source for that and re-implement it in XSLT. And make it into a web service or something. Maybe I could scrape and reverse-engineer it (but copyright, copyright…).

Good news for Kenya's internet and VoIP
I’ve been tracking the efforts of Brian Longwe for a few years now (and communicated with him a few times). I just got this via Balancing Act Africa the essential african internet weekly news email.<blockquote>It all hardly seemed possible for as Brian Longwe of AfrISPA remarked in the opening session: “Three years ago who would have thought that VoIP could be mentioned in public, let alone that we would be talking about the business implications of it?” But Sammy Kirui of the Kenyan regulator signalled the end of the beginning: “We have come from a regulatory environment that was dictated by–consciously or unconsciously–the protection of the incumbent’s revenue. That obsession even though its revenues fell anyway was like trying to hold on to an illogical scenario…If you have restrictive clauses in your licences, bring them to us and we will delete them.” </blockquote>

Nokia will make a Series 60 phone with QWERTY keyboard
I was just listening to Antti Vasara’s talk (realaudio) from Nokia 2004 Capital Market Days . It’s not on the slides but during the talk he said that<blockquote>there will be Series 60 phones with QWERTY keyboards </blockquote>Will these be shaped like the Nokia 6820 ? Certainly when Series 60 gains the ability to flip from horizontal to vertical, which will happen I guess in the next year, a Series 60 phone in that form factor seems likely.
