Today, the blog Chromium Notes , which is written by a developer who works on the open source project (that Google Chrome is built on top of), posted a very interesting graph: one that shows the number of code commits to WebKit . Notably, it appears that Google has overtaken Apple as the organization...

Foursquare is growing fast. Real fast . Traffic may be up as much as threefold over the past two months . But how are people actually using it? The main Foursquare account tweeted out stats today that give a nice breakdown of usage. It’s just over a seven day span, but given that the service is...

I’m starting to suspect people like free stuff – a shocker, I know. Nokia says the new version of Ovi Maps that includes free walk and drive navigation has been downloaded over 1.4 million times since its introduction on 21 January 2010. Nokia says the 1 million mark was reached after just...

Normally, it takes quite a bit of time before a startup gets any sort of mainstream spotlight. That’s not the case with Blippy . Tonight, the controversial social credit card data aggregator was featured on Comedy Central’s Colbert Report . As you might imagine, host Stephen Colbert ripped...

Popular location-based social network Brightkite has simultaneously released mobile apps for some Nokia as well as Palm smartphones.

Most iPhone users have had their share of ire and angst with AT&T over poor service at one time or another. The NYT is now blaming the iPhone for the woes on the AT&T network. The story is even more suspect when you find that the main source of the info is a paid AT&T consultant. Apple has...

A patent application from Apple has turned up that shows a very interesting dock for the iPhone. The dock uses a spongy elastic material co to conform to the iPhone. The Ustream app is now available on the iPhone and it allows you to stream live video. That is sure to make AT&T mad, it seems to...

Looks like Nokia was a victim of its own success.  Not only has the N900 taken far longer to reach the market than initially expected, strong pre-order sales have meant the company has been forced to push back its in-store release of the Maemo 5 smartphone until December 4th .  The Finnish company...

I love watching excellence in motion. Watching Fred Astaire dance, reading a poem by Robert Frost, watching Michael Jordan play ball, Tiger Woods play golf or opening new products that have the ability to bring a smile to my face.
