If you have an iPhone, and haven’t already, get the Shazam app. It also works with many other mobiles. I know it’s nothing new, and I’ve had it from the first day I got my iPhone 3G, but I just used it on a radio song and it works like genius. So, what is Shazam? It’s [...]

Rescue time is a nifty little service that monitors what you do on your computer and reports back, with plenty of trendy graphs and numbers.

Ahh. Finally it looks like Internet Explorer will follow the rules. The folks at Microsoft have been working hard (well, they’re probably trying to reduce the pain), and they now pass the infamous ACID2 test (you would see a smiley face on the second link if your browser passes), which even the current version of [...]

Thursday, December 20, 2007
Nanosolar, a valley startup has started shipping solar panels priced at $1/watt. That means nothing to me, but apparently it’s pretty darn cheap as far as watt prices go.
