The latest trend in Web Applications is – surprise, surprise! – going back on to the desktop. e Adobe Air and Mozilla Prism are two technologies that help Web Apps behave more .. hm, surprise, surprise! … desktop-like. Full circle? Why the “move to the cloud” circus if we’re coming back to the desktop anyway?…

Are ‘Mac’people more open than ‘PC’users?
On infoworld there was an article yesterday, titled ‘Mac people’more open, liberal than PC users. The study conducted by Mindset Media concludes that: According to Mindset Media, people who purchase Macs fall into what the branding company calls the “Openness 5″ personality category — which means they are more liberal, less modest, and more assured…
Unlocked iPhone, not?
We have a folk tale about the girl who was invited to visit the king. She had to come but not come, bring a gift but not bring a gift and she – being the smart lass – managed to do it. Seems like Apple is trying something like this with the unlocked iPhones in…
Digg – Blog it!
The previous post about paypal, I tried to post it through Digg’s Blog it! feature, just to see how it works. Well, it has shown me a big white screen without any feedback when I hit the Blog it! button. And as it turned out, it did nothing. Does that feature works at all? (And…
Returning to IE
At least for the moment. It seems that with Flock the widgets in WordPress are broken. I go to presentation, then to widgets and when I try to move the widgets around they just behave like normal text – ie. they got selected, but won’t move at all. Another thing that under post edit the…

Amazon’s Kindle
Amazon.com uncovers Kindle soon. I am really curious about it, I would like a good e-book reading tool, and I really look forward to see if it will be available outside of the United States. The price will be a bit steep – for 399 USD it better be a very good e-book reader, having…
Secondlife and voice
In April I wrote about how the hype is on voice-integration into Secondlife, and how it will not be such a big impact event when they introduce it. It happened, and no surprise for me. The reasons are many, but as it turned out, it was not a big hit. I am yet to find…
