Google finally sued BIG TIME for copyright infringement. March Madness Web 2.0.

March 13, 2007

So you’re probably wondering why so many companies stayed away from purchasing YouTube. Was it because they didn’t have $1.65 billion dollars? Was it because Mark Cuban said anyone who bought them was an idiot? Or was it because anyone who bought the video sharing site was walking into a legal mine field? Well itâ€™s […]

Trip out…safely

March 12, 2007

This is very cool. Go to this site and stare at the demo for 20 seconds and then look away. It’s a way to trip safely for just a few seconds. :)

Rubbing shoulders with TED. Free SMS through browser. Google and Outlook finally in sync?

March 8, 2007

The biggest visionary conference every year started yesterday in Monterey. The TED Conference is a 1000 member, invitation only, event. It’s the one time geeks, celebrities, and politicians rub shoulders. Good luck holding a conversation with anyone when Forest Whittaker, Meg Ryan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are all walking the aisles with NAME TAGS! Scheduled to […]

Google bashing from Microsoft. Cisco DOESN’T own Tribe.net. Microsoft saves $1.5 billion

March 6, 2007

Microsoft would love it if you’d jump on board the Google smear campaign. They’re trying to tarnish what many people believe is a “do no wrong” company. The software company is arguing that Google, who creates no content of its own, is making money off of other people’s content often without permission. Specifically, Microsoft points […]

Revision3 party

March 1, 2007

Attended the Revision3 party a couple nights ago. Ran into a bunch of the TechTV crew. Revision3 is a site that has video programs of which many are produced by ex-TechTVers. Valleywag has a story, and I was able to weasel my way once again in front of the photographer’s lens (here and here).

MySpace Extortion. Co-working in SF.

February 27, 2007

Don’t try to extort money from MySpace. Saverio Mondelli and Shaun Harrison pled guilty in New York state yesterday on charges of extorting Myspace. The two had written a program that collected email and IP addresses from Myspace users. And the two demanded MySpace pay them a “consulting fee” of $150,000 to STOP distributing the […]

Pepsi turns San Francisco into a pinball machine

February 23, 2007

I love anything shot in San Francisco. And here’s an incredibly cool commercial Pepsi did where they turned the city into a giant pinball machine. Chalk this up with Travelers’ Insurance ad and with the Sony Bravia ad, both also shot in San Francisco.

Municipal Wi-Fi in Concord

February 23, 2007

So today I was in Concord producing a shoot about the city rolling out a free wireless network. Why would a city want to do this. Well, there are a few reasons. Number one is to reduce communications costs for city workers. Turns out Concord was dropping more than $100,000 a month on communications for […]
