Terms of service are becoming increasingly restrictive as well as increasingly cryptic. What exactly can you do with your own property/services? What can big corporations do with that data?

When one thinks of an “over night success” or a company or product that has become so big, so ingrained in our everyday lives that it begins to be used as a verb, you almost take for granted said service. The service I’m talking about is YouTube. While it has only been around a few short years, YouTube has gone from a niche site on the web to an online video powerhouse with millions upon million of users and videos. What would happen if all of a sudden that resource was gone?

Apple’s Push notifications while grossly past due from their original due date of last year, were at least delayed for good reason. At the iPhone OS 3.0 preview, Apple stated the delay was because of “developers suggesting ideas and methods of implementing the push service that they had never thought of”, which in return required a complete re-write of the service, hence the massive delay. But the real question is why does Apple refuse to bring by far the most requested and undoubtedly most important feature, background processes, to the iPhone platform?

The auto industry is in shambles. The cause depends on who you ask. For some, it is the years of mismanagement. For others the resistance to developing other cars besides SUV’s. What you might not know however is a smaller group who consist of those who believe the lack of technology in cars is the Big 3’s real demise. What kind of technology do I mean? Is it manufacturing technology, engine technology, or more “geeky” technology consisting of the gizmos and gadgets inside of the cabin? For the next few minutes we will be focusing on the last topic — the technology inside of the cabin. If the Big 3 drastically updated the internals of their vehicles with mobile internet all around, bluetooth technologies, etc, could it save them?

Everyone who knows anything about computers knows that Apple computers will always be more expensive than their PC counterparts. According to Microsoft and as well as many individuals, the “Apple Tax” is wasted money on nothing more than some cute little fruit logo afixed somewhere on your machine. For others it is a sign of “coolness”, youth, and individuality. One thing is for sure, Apple who was expected to weather the econmoic storm is mortal just like everyone else. So much so that even they lost market share year-to-year between last year and this year. But how how much? And is Apple really suited for marketing products that could propel them to the majority of the worlds, or at least U.S. anyway, market share charts? Heck, do they even want to be market leaders?

When you hear the words “auto industry” in this day and age, it is hard to think of a properous and youthful market. One that is expanding and on the leading edge of automotive technology. However, we all know that the U.S. auto industry is anything but “leading edge” or prosperous. Unfortunately, they aren’t the only market to start feeling the pinch of not only economic times, but also the technological times as technology and digitized goods become more and more a part of our daily lives. So what area of the market has been thrust into the spotlight claiming to be in the most dire need of help and a solution…the newspaper industry…

Do you cherish the internet? See it as the portal to the world? Do you download gigs of data everyday? Every week? Every month? Are you downloads pirated content or legitimate stuff? The RIAA or “the almighty satan” as known by most never really gave up on tracking down individuals. No, instead they went behind the scenes and started coaxing ISP’s to become their new roommates. Why waste time and money suing a single person when you can have someone else waste their time and and money while you sit back and simply collect the lawsuit winnings when everything is said and done?

As you read the title above, think about how much 1 Trillion truly is. That is how many text messages we sent in 2008 according to CITA’s CEO, Steve Largent. But is it surprising? With the number of wireless subscribers in the billions and phones with either half qwerty mashups like RIM’s suretype keyboard or full qwerty keyboards, texting has becoming the new defacto standard for quick communication.

If you are an all around music nut, composer, or artist, you will surely appreciate this. Digital pianos bring a level of complexity and sound that no analog piano could ever keep with. Sure the actual piano sound may sound better than the digital version, but this gap is quickly shrinking. What digital pianos really shine at is making a one man band one man orchestra. Now a single human being can sound like hundreds in a full symphony. Taking the digital piano and evolving it further, the Baby Grand Master is a modern disc jokeys dream.
