It is a website that is designed specifically for the small screens of those devices (it'll work on your full-scale browser too) and makes over 375 "radio stations" available for live streaming over WiFi or EDGE.  

...This is a free audio service that will put (relatively) low quality audio at your fingertips virtually anywhere you get an Internet connection.  

...I am hoping that this site is working on the bells and whistles to make it stand out.  

...Sure, this site is nothing more than re-aggregating content from other sources, so the costs to program are low, but there is not much "there" to FlyTunes.

...I am sure that Apple could ramp up production of the new iPhone hardware much sooner than June 27th, but two hurdles stand in their way to rushing the product to market.  ...  Second, with Apple twice criticized in the last year with how they have handled iPhone price reductions and memory upgrades, they'll cool their jets until the one year anniversary to make more cahnges.  

...While developers certainly are looking at the second SDK and testing the new business side of the iPhone, I'll hazard to guess that Apple is holding back some consumer improvements.  

...Regardless, my wife and I are going to be waiting at the doors of our local Apple Store on the first day.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Twitter Isn&#x27;t All That...Or Is It?</title><dc:creator>hal@mediamotions.com</dc:creator><category>Original Material</category><dc:date>2008-03-26T09:02:44-04:00</dc:date><link>http://mediamotions.com/mediamotions/page4/files/16b7320c906e433038dbee2b8590d3da-7.html#unique-entry-id-7</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mediamotions.com/mediamotions/page4/files/16b7320c906e433038dbee2b8590d3da-7.html#unique-entry-id-7</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The idea is that you type in short blurbs about your "status" and anyone who wants to tune into your special Twitter channel will be able to see your updates whenever they want.    It's like a more immediate form of email, where you don't need to address the message to anyone...it'll just get read by your group of "followers".  

...Now, clearly the idea of Twitter is that you are transmitting to a friendly group of followers, so the word valuable takes on a different meaning depending on who you are transmitting to; however, I tend to doubt people need to hear that I am buying batteries.


...For example, each time I post a new entry in my blog, a piece of code picks up on the new material and sends a Twitter message out with a link to the new blog post. 

...What if you set up a trigger inside your GPS-enabled cell phone that would post Twitter updates when you arrived at work, left work, went to the mall, went to Starbucks, etc.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>It Probably Already Exists</title><dc:creator>hal@mediamotions.com</dc:creator><category>Original Material</category><dc:date>2008-03-22T22:58:22-04:00</dc:date><link>http://mediamotions.com/mediamotions/page4/files/c6e627391c22e702b6f4f823a7c6fc90-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mediamotions.com/mediamotions/page4/files/c6e627391c22e702b6f4f823a7c6fc90-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I thought up crazy things like recording my voice and storing it as a file, live chatting, playing games with people remotely and watching live TV from faraway locales.  

...	&bull;	Like the idea of giving out one phone number and having it find you wherever you are?  

...Yes, it's the very same invasive advertisers with their voracious appetite to categorize, analyze and scrutinize their potential online customers that are funding these web applications.    They continue to pour billions of dollars into R&D budgets of thousands of software companies in order to attract your attention to whatever they're peddling.


...And I, for one, don't mind looking past a few banner ads to get all those cool free online programs.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Protect Yourself With Passwords</title><dc:creator>hal@mediamotions.com</dc:creator><category>Interesting Find</category><dc:date>2008-03-19T09:34:10-04:00</dc:date><link>http://mediamotions.com/mediamotions/page4/files/2c461b4505f41f1cafa9d762416546b6-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mediamotions.com/mediamotions/page4/files/2c461b4505f41f1cafa9d762416546b6-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[We've all seen movies where the technologically-advanced bad guys gain access to an electronic vault or use a supercomputer to break into a computer program which then allows them to siphon funds, undetected, into a Swiss bank account.    It's sexy stuff for the movies, but its mostly flights of fancy that are very unlikely to occur to you or me.  

...I'd bet that same password can be used elsewhere on the Net to access your far more lucrative (and vulnerable) accounts.


...As an example, if I wanted to socially engineer users for their personal identity, I could simply set up a website with promise of free products or a chance to win something.  ...  Of the many passwords people enter, I might get a 3/4 'hit rate' using that same password on various other sites where that person used that same username and password combination.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Apple Does It Wrong?</title><dc:creator>hal@mediamotions.com</dc:creator><category>Interesting Find</category><dc:date>2008-03-19T09:28:36-04:00</dc:date><link>http://mediamotions.com/mediamotions/page4/files/96337a84faa11fdd8169e4d12340beb0-4.html#unique-entry-id-4</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mediamotions.com/mediamotions/page4/files/96337a84faa11fdd8169e4d12340beb0-4.html#unique-entry-id-4</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I am an avid reader of Wired magazine going back to its very first extremely "loud" neon-ink edition.    I am also a very big fan of Apple, Inc.    So, when I came across this article, I found the title so intriguing that I just had to read it.    I hope you will too.
