I found this stumbling around YouTube and just had to share. So amazing to see how it all started. I love their idea for the original laptop. They called it a “portable computer” and it fit inside of a briefcase (or is that a suitcase?).

 And now there is a real name: Revue (code name “KA”). I’ve been waiting to see this! Now, I want one even more. Looking forward to seeing one in person, and looking even more forward to creating some apps for this thing! Note the use of iPhone for remote! The incorporation of Logitech’s whole Harmony remote, where a single device (in this case, an iPhone) could control all the devices in your entertainment system. This is pretty cool as it moves us in the direction of owning the whole digitally conntected living room!

Google just got fresher and faster with the release of their new indexing system,  Caffeine. In short, old Google indexing = built with layers that would get refreshed at varying frequencies and result in content often not updated for days or weeks. New Google indexing (Caffeine) = analyzes smaller chunks of the web and updates continuously; so content is much fresher!

Found this bit of news the other day; surprised that it’s not getting more attention considering all the noise out around Flash and Apple these days. To be clear, this app, Cloud Browse, is not actually installing the Flash runtime on the iPhone; so it’s not really Flash on the iPhone. It sounds like it works like VNC by allowing an iPhone to connect to another machine in order to see the content. Highlights from the USA Today post is below:“Here’s how it works: you download the free Cloud Browse App and install it. Then you direct the App to the website of your choice. Here’s where the interesting part comes in: the site is called up on another computer, which streams it back to your iPhone. The app, Cloud Browse, is free, has been out for a few weeks, and so far has picked up 150,000 downloads….it had already been approved by Apple by the time Apple CEO Steve Jobs penned his “Thoughts on Flash essay. Personally, I’d be concerned about the performance of this, but according to this report,  it’s apparently pretty darn good on the iPhone! I’m surprised Steve isn’t blocking it!http://content.usatoday.com/communities/technologylive/post/2010/05/flash-comes-to-iphone–sort-of/1

You probably haven’t heard about this yet, but that little device they call the “iPhone” is about to get a re-haul. I wasn’t able to get tickets to the WWDC to see Steve announce it today in person, but thanks to Engadget, I can feel like I was right there in the middle of it all.  I was already hip to many of the new features after Steve announced the updates for the OS, but he was holding one of the most exciting features for today: video calling (FaceTime). I’m also impressed with the announcement of Retina Display, increasing pixel density by four times! The picture quality is unbelievable!
