Multitasking: Scan Toaster Prints Text, Photos From the Internet Onto Your Bread
Now you can scan text and photos from the Internet and put it on your morning toast! Good grief, what could be next, talking washing machines?

Padded Lampposts? You've Got To Be Joking
Engadget posted an article today about our friends across the sea in England. Seems they get so distracted text messaging with their cell-phones that they are walking into things.

Where Is The Outrage?
Does no one care about fair use anymore? Wake up America. Your rights are being reduced right in front of your eyes. The RIAA now wants to make you a criminal for copying songs off the CDs you purchase to your own computer. What's next, copy machines?

Apple's Web Gallery Browser Support
So I'm curious to try out Apple's new Web Gallery. Someone posted on Digg.com one of the first galleries that went up here. The problem? Browser support...or lack thereof. I thought to myself...hmmm, what better way to view Apple's new Web Gallery than from their own Safari browser (I'm posting this from a PC by the way). So I fired up Safari and this is what I got.
That's right Mac fan boys, Apple's own browser isn't recommended to run Web Gallery. So I fired up IE 6, same message. Certainly the latest version of Firefox would work! Nope. If you ignore the message and proceed everything seemed to work just fine. I plan on trying it on my Mac when I get to work.
Update: Apple finally fixed it, I got in using FIrefox/PC with no warning the next day.

Apple TV Fan-boys Rejoice!
Fortune smiles on those who wait. There is finally a way to use an external USB drive as primary storage for the Apple TV. And since there are also instructions on how to enable ssh without opening the case, you shouldn't have to open the box and void your warranty. Thank the group over at Apple TV Hacks. The bounty they offered finally got the desired result. O.k., now it looks like I'm finally going to have to buy an HDTV.

Microsoft's "Hell-Bent" Strategy
Microsoft may move more slowly than other companies, but you can count on them catching up very quickly. Just ask the dozens of companies they have left in their wake. Their modus operandi is to allow a sector to mature a little bit, see what competitors are doing, copy the current best of breed and add their spin on it. The first versions of what they release may not do well, think IE 1.0 or todays Zune, but eventually they correct things and get them right. This strategy does not always work, but wins more than one might think.
Enter Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer who announced at their Financial Analysts Day that Microsoft is "hell-bent and determined to allocate the talent, the resources, the money, the innovation to absolutely become a powerhouse in the ad business." You can translate that as we are being killed by Google's online service and ad strategy and its time for us to jump in before it's too late. Kevin Rose of Digg has just announced on their blog that they will be partnering with Microsoft to serve up ads on Digg (Digg Partners With Microsoft). In addition, Microsoft is playing catch-up in other areas as well, releasing their competitor to Flash Video, Silverlight.
