Motorola teases Xoom Super Bowl ad: ’2011 looks a lot like 1984′
January 31, 2011
Moto hasn’t been shying away from the Apple jabs this year, and it’s got another one in store for the Super Bowl this week with a commercial that’ll poke fun at Cupertino’s 1984 Macintosh ad, perhaps the most famous Super Bowl spot of all time. In it, the company says that “2011 looks a lot like 1984″ with “one authority, one design, one way to work” while showing Planet Earth wearing a pair of shiny white iPod / iPhone buds. Boom, here comes a new planet — a red, gaseous one with an “M” logo on it — that pimps a bunch of wild features we’ll be seeing in the Xoom like a dual-core processor, upgradeable 4G, and Honeycomb out of the box. In closing, Moto says “it’s time to live a free life.” We would’ve liked to have seen Motorola follow a format closer to that 1984 commercial, but it’s a pretty well-played jab nonetheless — and it’s conceivable that this is just a teaser...

Zipcar adds the plug-in Prius PHEV to its fleet, probably not changing name to Zapcar
January 31, 2011
Would you like a plug-in Prius, the sort that we spent a few days with last year, back when the seasons were changing and there was only a hint of this killer winter to come? Well, too bad, because you still can’t buy them. But Zipcar can, apparently, adding eight of the things to its fleet, and they’re available now in Boston, San Francisco, and Portland, Oregon. Given the company has 8,000 total cars available your chances of securing one of these particular Priuses (Prii?) is slim, but if you score, know that they charge in just three hours on a 110 outlet, and half that if you’re wired for 220, so no fancy-pants charging station is required for use.

MSI WindPad on Sale: $700
January 31, 2011
MSI’s Wind Pad is finally on sale, hoping to have the same success it enjoyed with the MSI Wind netbook, only without the netbook’s low, low price. The Wind Pad will cost $710, which is at the high-end for a 10-inch tablet. But then, it’s not really a tablet in the modern sense. It’s much [...] lcd hdtv mp3 player Share and Enjoy: Read More →
Management is not a popularity contest
January 31, 2011
Dear Bob … I’ve just started as a manager in a new company. I have a team of eight reporting to me, and I have a distinct sense of being the outsider — which, of course, I am, but this feels different. No matter what the topic, I see people exchanging meaningful glances, nudging each other, and otherwise acting as though they’re party to an inside joke. dvd player htc Share and Enjoy: Read More →
Amazon rolling out Netflix-like unlimited video streaming for Prime subscribers?
January 31, 2011
Rumors of Amazon either purchasing Netflix or launching a competing option have been circling and now one of our readers says he’s seeing an unlimited video streaming section to complement the current Amazon VOD options. That’s a nice bonus for the $79 / year package that currently adds a few free shipping bonuses and it would be cheaper on a yearly basis than Netflix’s Watch Instantly ($95.88.) As seen above and in the gallery, it consists of “unlimited, commercial-free, instant streaming of 5,000 movies and TV shows” with selections that mirror the Watch Instantly catalog closely. Resolution is apparently limited to a “pretty solid” 480p SD, but there’s no word on audio or subtitle options. We’ll wait to hear if anyone else is seeing a similar page before assuming a wide rollout, but it certainly appears that there could finally be a viable competitor to the Netflix juggernaut. Update: We weren’t able to pull up the option... [Read the full story]
The Googlers Behind Pubsubhubbub Are Back At It With Camlistore. Open Sync, Store, Share
January 31, 2011
You may recall that back in the summer of 2009, there was a lot of hubbub over a Google 20 percent project with a near impossible name: Pubsubhubbub. Creators Brad Fitzpatrick and Brett Slatkin actually unveiled it at our Realtime Stream CrunchUp back then. And it garnered a lot of buzz for a good reason: it aimed to speed up traditionally slow feeds of information to realtime. Well, now the two are back at it again (with a few other contributors) with a new project: Camlistore. First of all, aside from the fact that I keep typing “Camilstore”, this name is a significant improvement over the last project. It’s an acronym for “Content-Addressable Multi-Layer Indexed Storage”. But more importantly, the project once again looks to be a very interesting one. Though the team is quick to note on its homepage that it’s “not ready for users”, the site has quite a bit of information about the general hopes for the project and how they imagine it working. cell...
