Jan 3rd 2008 7:32PM Wow. Thanks for the extra info. I learned about it from reading 'iWoz' - which was obviously Steve Wozniak perspective.
I see that regarding Steve Jobs, a Leopard/Tiger/Panther never changes it's spots/stripes/errr... 'black polonecks', eh ;)

Jan 3rd 2008 6:25PM Cool! I expect Steve Wozniak has one.
Did you know he invented breakout - with Steve Jobs, so people could effectively play Pong on their own? True.
Are you having Zune problems?

Nov 15th 2007 12:19PM I'd say that's due to the formats people use for videos over audios for podcasting.
Audio podcasts are predominantly mp3, though videos tend to appear in various formats: Quicktime MOV, MP4 (possibly H.264 - on the rise), M4V (for iPods), FLV, AVI, etc.
So the Zune software will have to check the format is compatible and then encode if necessary. I way, I suppose it's doing you a favour. But, hey :)

Nov 15th 2007 11:05AM Would be funny to pair phone with someone else's - and drive them off.
I can see a lot of phones getting broken with this, as people fall off with their beloved phone in their hands!
Still. I'd laugh ;)

The pre-approved response to the unauthorized comments on the official definition of Web 3.0.

let's say you Gran has a list of friends she sends birthday cards to. Sometimes she might bake them a cake. Some of them like chocolate. Some of them are allergic to peanuts. Her friends like to share cake recipes to eachother when they meet up for tea or coffee and a natter.
She wants to bake a friend a cake. A friend who likes chocolate but not peanuts.
So, she could easily find recipes which that friend has never seen before, which have chocolate as the main ingredient, but doesn't have peanuts.
She could then come up with a new recipe for a cake with all that info with none of her friends have tasted before.
Next thing you know, she's the queen of the coffee morning and all her friends dig her and her cool new cakes ;)
She's the smartest gal in the room! She'll probably even know how many calories there are too.
Mmmmm yummy healthy chocolate mashcake!!!
kinda ;)
Web 3.0, the "official" definition.

Oct 4th 2007 8:06AM Jason. If I would were you, I'd duck! quickly!
This is not Web 3.0.
Web 2.0 was/is about leveraging data standards and technology to enable applications to talk to eachother 'under the hood' (ajax etc.) to help create Rich Internet Applications pulling data from multiple sources (mashups) while improving the user experience and bandwidth costs with less full page loads ...
Web 3.0 (imho) is about evolving, exploring and exposing the relationship between those data sources to create further data standards, platforms and ultimately tools to leverage this even further. Creating and viewing the 'dna' of the web. Having the ability to navigate that skeleton/structure which semantically connects those pieces of data.
Look at 'web 2.0' and 'zoom out' in your mind. Not in. Or to one side. eg: Look at a fractal image and zoom out and out, again and again. Appreciate the beauty of the whole system and how things connect. Not just one element of it.
Then you might see where we're going.
imho. ;)
