Macworld: iPod and iPhone accessories galore

It has amazed me how much of the MacWorld floor has been taken over by iPod, and, now, iPhone accessories. I guess that anytime there are some 130 million copies of something floating around in the market, a large opportunity presents itself to accessorize. If you only get 1% of that market, you’ll still be […]

Macworld: MacBook Air first look

The MacBook Air is so slim… mainly because it comes without a lot of things, besides an optical drive.
For one thing, the battery is ‘integrated’, meaning you can’t change it. No spare batteries for long flights or business trips. If you’re flying coach, spare batteries are handy - there’s no power jack in coach […]

Macworld: Intelliscanner SOHO

Intelliscanner, the company that brought bar-code scanning to the masses with the Intelliscanner mini, has announced a new product, Intelliscanner SOHO. The SOHO product features a more robust scanner and software (including Mac versions), like inventory control, that should appeal to small business operators. Ebayers, get your credit cards out…

Macworld: Steve, the envelope(s) please…

We’ll shortly begin this years version of the Steve Jobs ‘Reality Distortion Field.’ I’ll be watching the usual sources, like MacObserver, from my lair deep in suburban Menlo Park. I could have driven up to Moscone at 5:00 AM to get in line… but then again, naahhhh…

Macworld: Human Eyes 3D

Izzy Bromberg was kind enough to demo Human Eyes’ Creative3D application for me recently. Creative3D can quickly make 3D out of 2D and add animation that plays back in lenticular 3D creations - those plastic thingies that you used to get in Crackerjack boxes. Nowadays lenticular pieces can be wall-sized displays in airports or fine-grained […]

Off the grid: the New York Times

In its new 8th Avenue building, the New York Times is generating up to 40% of its energy needs. Cool deal for an information company to go green…

Speaking of robots…

Macworld: a tablet Mac - Axiotron Modbook

Axiotron has put together proprietary technology, a MacBook and a Wacom tablet into something called the Modbook, now making its second (I think) appearance at Macworld. It looks really cool, and probably has a niche market with artists and others who need the screen-drawing capability…booth S-408…
