But the "dot bomb" era did not end well for the company. Especially after the merger with USWeb (which resulted in the new organization being named marchFIRST).

Hansell wonders what would happen if Apple were to open up an App Store for the Apple TV, and I have to admit that I think that's a brilliant idea.I've always thought that the Apple TV would greatly benefit from third party plugins...http://feeds.tuaw.com/~r/weblogsinc/tuaw/~3/345082551/ WordPress for iPhone source now available- July 25, 2008 Filed under: Analysis Opinion, iPhone When I first heard that the iPhone WordPress app was open source I thought that was cool, but what about the SDK NDA (that's nondisclosure agreement, which means you won't share any information you're told with anyone) It would seem that the fine folks at WordPress aren't too worried about that bothersome NDA because they are now sharing the source code of the app via their SVN server.

There's been a bit of buzz going around the blogsocial media world over someone who..http://techdirt.com/articles/20080714/1650511675.shtml Foo Camp 2008 Photos- July 14, 2008 Here are a few photos I shot with the Ricoh GR Digital II at last weekend's Foo Camp 2008, an amazing 3 day Friends of O'Reilly event that I attended at the O'Reilly Media offices in Sebastopol, CA.

Kodak has introduced Theatre HD Player, a WiFi-enabled black box that connects to your HDTV, displays images and other multimedia content, and links directly to Kodak Gallery, the company's online photo-sharing service.

Nine companies are saying "yes," having recently launched Enterprise 2.0 offerings that integrate with SharePoint technology. If there's one thing that any I.T. pro knows it's the value of "maximizing their investment" in whatever servers they run, technology they use, or services they've signed up for. With strict budgets in place, no I.T. purchases are bought on a whim. Instead, each decision is researched, tested,..http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/readwriteweb/~3/309009079/sharepoint_to_run_enterprise_2.ph... |
