NY Times internet fee/new Apple device integration...

The New York Times is starting a fee-based system for avid internet readers. And now it has been reported that NY Times workers have been working with Apple. It's clear what's going on here. The new Apple product will feature a new mobile device to perhaps replace the newspaper. But, does it fit in your pocket? You can't leave it on the subway or in a trash can (unless you have hundreds of dollars to throw away).

Is this 'the most important thing' Steve Jobs has ever worked on?

Retro GEOINT or new GPS technology

From GotGeoINT-
Our friends at DoD Buzz recently came out with a story that highlights how the U.S. Air Force — In the face of threats from jamming and attacks on satellites — needs to lessen its dependence on the Global Positioning System and develop alternatives to GPS. According to the article, Gen. Norton Schwartz, Air Force Chief of Staff, said that GPS signals are particularly vulnerable in time of war since enemies know of the reliance U.S. forces place on its highly accurate signal. The article points out that alternatives to GPS include accurate digital maps, if not the good old ink and paper versions. This certainly caught our attention — the printed/paper maps thing. Is this really true? Is GEOINT going retro? Our gut is saying probably not. We anticipate that technology innovations will trump good old fashioned printed maps. here

Top 10 NYC Bands to watch in 2010

From PopTartsSuckToasted - This is not a list extolling the best bands in New York, rather the bands that you need to watch out for, the ones that are on the cusp of great things, and who will be the next big things hailing from the five boroughs. All of these bands are working on something right now whether it's their demo or their debut full length, they are all at the very beginning of their careers and hopefully will carry on for quite some time. A lot of these guys have been mentioned on these pages before, but really their big breakout moment is gonna be 2010! We're excited every time we listen to these guys or see them on stage and we're pretty sure most of you will be if you give them half a chance too. So get out there, download their mp3's, see their lives shows, and get to know the 10 New York Bands to Watch in 2010!!!....

NYC Staycation & Google Nexus One

After some great vacation time (or should I say staycation), its back to work and maybe put up a few posts. First off, check out the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMa. It's really cool. I saw it over my staycation along with the New Museum and some other random touristy and/or bike trips on a new road bike.

Google's Nexus One has been making some news with the direct sales from Google.

And what's up with the Apple iSlate or whatever it's called. I guess we'll see soon enough. Still don't have my own legit internet connect, thank you Time Warner but will soon have my Mac Mini Server up and running.
