Crashing Google Wave Finds New Life in Open Source

O Google Wave som napísal, alebo vložil na tento blog už veľa článkov. Stále si myslím, že tento spôsob komunikácie má niečo do seba a má potenciál nahradiť mail. Preto aby sa tak stalo, ale musí byť splnená podmianka spätnej kompatibility s mail službou. Google tento projekt pochováva, ale ďalej bude žiť v open source komunite. Prvé wave servre už službu poskytujú a je možné si stiahnuť aj zdrojový kód a inštalovať  vlastný server. Držím palce tejto myšlienke a technológií aby prerazila a posunula elektronickú komunikáciu ľudí zase o krôčik do predu.

Bicycle Of The Future Shifts Gears Via Brain Waves

You’re looking at the bike of the future, where you’ll control gear shifts with your mind. This design concept is now in the prototype stage, and from the looks of the video above, it’s well on its way to a high-end bike shop near you.

Cyclists will adore the bike’s multiple aerodynamic design features and carbon fiber construction, but the most astonishing thing about the bike is its ability to change gears using its rider’s brain waves.

Springpad

Naozaj pekné riešenie osobného diára, fungujúce na počítači, telefóne aj iPad-e. Páči sa mi hlavne previazanie na ostatné web aplikácie, ktoré väčšina z nás používa: gmail, facebook, twitter, flickr,….

Springpad je stále beta, ale funkčná. Porovnávam ju s Evernote, ktoré aktívne používam a páči sa mi stále viac a viac. Možno switchnem na Springpad.

iPad recenzie

Už aj v naších končinách sa na internete sa objavuje stále viac a viac recenzií na iPad. Ja som si práve dnes pozrel dve. Prvá je od digit.cz (nemusím asi predstavovať nikomu) a druhú na sme.sk.
Myslím si, že Apple je práve o dokonalosti a vyšperkovaní všetkého až do posledného detailu. Nemožem si pomôcť, ale pri recenzii na sme.sk som sa musel pár krát smiať, počul som slová ako internetovať a podobne. Najlepšie urobíte, keď si tie recenzie pozriete a zhodnotíte kvalitu prevedenia a najmä obsahovú stránku veci.

Why The iPad Is Important

Alright, I’ve read the reviews. I’ve the read Cory’s piece about open-ness and closed platforms (and I agree, open is better). I’ve read from the nit-picking details to the high level geekery, and I’m here to say, the iPad is an important device. Of course, some have already heralded it as the inflection point in “tablet” computing, and it is that – but the reason I think it’s important is actually a bit larger.

Google Wave Versus the Rest, Feature by Feature

We got a great response to last week’s frequently asked questions about Google Wave, and decided it’s worth expanding further on the differences between Wave and the current crop of web-based collaboration offerings.

Wave combines features from email, instant messenger, Google Docs, wikis, and forums and throws its own spin on things. For a quick visual of its offerings versus similar tools, check out this feature-by-feature comparison table. Read the rest of this entry »

PS3 Hacked, Exploit Is Now Available for Your Illicit Pleasure

GeoHot, one of the fathers of the iPhone’s jailbreak community, has just released the exploit that’ll unleash all sorts of promising PS3 hackery, just like he promised. We can’t wait for the homebrew and, frankly, piratical features this enables.

From the source:

This is the coveted PS3 exploit, gives full memory access and therefore ring 0 access from OtherOS. Enjoy your hypervisor dumps. This is known to work with version 2.4.2 only, but I imagine it works on all current versions.

You can find it at his page for now—try it out, let us know how it works!
