Tech Watch: Applications you never knew you would never need…
By Tom Foremski - October 7, 2004
My good buddy Mark Osborne, Editor of the very fine Semiconductor Fabtech magazine, spotted the following recent press release :
"Imagine seamless continuity of your favorite video between your home theater DVR and your car’s backseat entertainment system. Imagine pausing a song as your car arrives at home and, as you walk into the house, your home stereo picks up the song at the same spot. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (NYSE:FSL) and IMEC are currently in the process of helping you realize this vision of seamless mobility.”
Now I understand why Ed Zander wanted to go ahead and spin-off Freescale from out of Motorola...

Dan on Searching for search on the iPhone - where is it?
I agree with the above limitations and may have another one...when I type a word and make a spelling mistake (big fingers) I can't seem to place the cursor in the middle of the word and correct the mistake. I have to place the cursor at the end of the word and delete back to the mistake and type again. This seems to be a huge waste of time and is functionality that should be included in a 'touch screen' iPhone Thoughts? Am I missing something?

Sally Falkow on PRWatch: PR Firms That Don't Blog Yet Offer New/Social Media Practices
Hi Tom
I agree that a PR agency needs to know the tools before they can use them for clients.
I started blogging back in 2003 and I'm still going. I do well with teaching others to blog.
In frustration I developed a small newsroom with rss feeds in 2004 because I could not find one at that time that did exaclty what I wanted. Now PRESSfeed is used by companies and other agencies.
I have been interested in podcasting but had not done it much myself, so conse

Do you know of any Japanese networks that are streaming live news coverage?
Tom Foremski on We Have a Serious Innovation Deficit Says Silicon Valley Thought Leader Judy Estrin
Don, are you talking about innovation across sectors are just in the telco/Ribbit niche?
Don Thorson on We Have a Serious Innovation Deficit Says Silicon Valley Thought Leader Judy Estrin
Ms Estrin is not seeing what I'm seeing. I'm seeing an innovation rebirth happening on a scale as big as any ever seen in Silicon Valley. It's true it may not look the same as the others - may not be as visible on the surface or share the same characteristics or metrics as the others - but in terms of rapid and significant global impact, this wave will out do them all. No question.
Innovation is still accelerating and I think we are again at an inflection point. Hold on, the brakes a

tom Foremski on "Social" Product Pitches Ring False . . .
JL: Yes, that is exactly why I didn't want to use "Social media release" because it was clear that "Social Media" like "Green" was part of a current fad/fashion and thus worth staying away from. That's why I wanted "New media release" or just "media release" because these are neutral terms - they don't snag on our social fabric.
Although I found no supporters for my position I was very calm and centered because I knew I would be vindicated ;-)
And it turns out sooner than late
JL on "Social" Product Pitches Ring False . . .
Blame the marketers. Since when did "social" and "business" mix? This sounds similar to all the things that are labeled "green" this and "green" that...
Tom on Warsaw University Team Are World Programming Champions, Again
I am disppointed with the British efforts, in this field, they can't compete with eastern european countries. Duirng the war years the UK was a poineer in technology and programming skills, now it is a poor problem solving contestant.
