I got a DROIDI had to do it. Went down to the Verizon store in El Cerrito and put down $350 and bought the $99 per month unlimited texting plan. Took it home, fell in love. It really is beautiful. I'm an iPhone user who loves the esthetics of the iPhone. The DROID is different, but also very nice.
I'm sure there will be annoyances, always are, but the first-time experience is great.
The web browser display is large enough to be usable. The gestures that work on the iPhone don't work on the DROID.

Random travel notesI chose to travel with my newish 13 inch MacBook Pro instead of my newish Asus Eee PC. It's just a one-day trip to LA and I figured I wouldn't be needing the 8-hour battery, but there is a fundamental difference between the two computers. With the MacBook I'm always looking for a power outlet. With the Asus, you know you're going to make it all the way without a charge, so you can relax about power. Apple may think they have the battery issue licked, but they don't. And the fact that you ca ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Bruce Sterling at RebootBruce Sterling gave a wonderful talk at the Reboot Conference this summer in Copenhagen. At the beginning of the talk I wanted to strangle him, but as it progressed, it made more and more sense. By the end I thought it was one of the best speeches I'd ever heard, a story that I think everyone should hear. I've made an MP3 of his talk because I want to make it available to people in my family as a podcast. I hope Bruce and the people at Reboot don't mind.
He talks about clearing your life o ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Joe Hewitt on Bad Hair Day at 7PMOur special guest for the Bad Hair Day podcast at 7PM Pacific is Joe Hewitt the author of Facebook for the iPhone. What a great day to talk with Joe!
You can listen live on BlogTalkRadio.
I had lunch with him yesterday in Santa Cruz. I said that if Facebook wanted to compete with Twitter they needed a vastly simpler version of Facebook. Little did I know that 24 hours later I'd be looking at it.
If you have any questions for Joe, please post them as comments here, and Marshall and I will tr ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |

Craigslist is progressI don't think I've ever written about Craigslist here.
Probably because I don't spend much time thinking about it, or worrying about it. But I know that some people do, for example Terry Gross, the host of NPR's Fresh Air. It comes up when people talk about the Internet destroying things that matter, like the classified ads in newspapers. At one point in an interview with Wired editor Chris Anderson she asks, in a bewildered way, what happened. She was saying it was a shame that Craigslist ...

Heading to EuropeI'm leaving tonight for Copenhagen to participate in the Reboot conference. This will be my third Reboot. It's a very nice group of people, very far away from Silicon Valley, and I always have fun. Looking forward to partying with Thomas and his posse and Paolo, Stowe, and everyone else. I'll be leading a talk on Thursday evening on Rebooting the News.
After Copenhagen, I'll spend three days in Berlin, then head back to the US via Chicago on July 1.
See you on the other side of the world, ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |

Netbooks are great XP machinesJust tweeted: "Microsoft's problem, they employ billions of dollars worth of engineers who produce stuff no one wants."
I pointed to this article.
Short version of this post: Microsoft -- Let the netbook guys put whatever they want to in the box, and sell them XP Home for a reasonable price and stop trying to tell us we have to use Vista because people don't want to.
Longer version.
Netbooks are great Windows machines. I remember seeing a $600 pricetag on an Asus last year and thinking " ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Rebooting The News podcast #12The latest Jay/Dave podcast, recorded last night at 7PM Pacific.
A little glimpse inside the news industry's mind: the recent recommendations of the American Press Institute. Charge for news, go after the aggregators, police fair use, look to consumers because the advertiser doesn't pay the bills anymore. A suicide pact, Dan Conover says.
The New York Times has a neighborhood blogging experiment, The Local. This week it extended an invitation to users: be the journalist. "Here is your first ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Rebooting The News #11Last night's podcast is up this morning, bright and early!
A theme from last week continues this week: Bug catching as a key practice in a re-booted system of news. Jay unfolds an example from this week: the AP's coverage of the Twitter TV show.
The TechGuardian asks How much is it worth to be one of Twitter's suggested users?
Dave discusses BitTorrent and why he put RTN 1-10 on it.

Rebooting the News #10We got this one folks!
Topics include: Maureen Dowd of course, the Church of the Savvy, One year of Twitter for Jay. Why is user interface so damned hard? 10 years since Edit This Page. And an inspired choice for Inspiration of the week, Elvis Costello's recording of Nick Lowe's classic What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding.
One of the best Reboots yet, imho.

Rebooting the News #9.5A 15-minute test-cast that turned into a mini-episode.
Jay asked me to explain why it was so important that the NYT has a River of News.
We're now using the full-blown BlogtalkRadio system, this was just a test to make sure we knew what we were doing after Sunday's disaster.
