RIP
RIP Mr. Jobs, you changed the landscape of how people interacted with their personal computer, how they enjoyed their favorite music, created products for markets that were untapped and had the vision to simplify everything, at a time when computers are nothing but simple.
In memory of the tragic events that took place 10 years ago today, Here is a link to the New York times, that put together a audio timeline of that morning. It is all transcribed and follows a helpful timeline and interactive map of the four highjacked planes. It is a chilling listen, rife with confusion and anger.
R.I.P Jack Layton. Sad to see an optimistic leader pass away so soon. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Sad to hear the news today that Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple and instead been crowned Chairman of the Board. Tim Cook is now the CEO.
Edit: I should just say for all those that didn't know, Steve Jobs left Tim Cook as interim CEO while he was away on medical leave.
If you have a twitter account, I suggest following the first robonaut!

ahaha this is amazing.
On August 21, 2011, countless Libyans took to the streets in towns and cities across the country as rebels gained control of the capital Tripoli and the collapse of Muammar Gaddafi’s four-decade-long regime appeared imminent.
The rebels, who had begun their armed uprising six months earlier — capturing then losing then capturing again key cities like Benghazi in the east (above) — poured into Tripoli from the east, south, and west. Gaddafi, his location a mystery, broadcast increasingly frantic appeals to his fellow Libyans, exhorting them to battle the rebels, to defend his 42-year-old “revolution,” to fight to the death for his Libya. No, it seems, was listening.

Thank goodness, hopefully this means the end of the fighting.
It frustrates me when someone comes from a middle class home, is attending college(university), has a job that allows for expendable income, owns a vehicle, or basically does not live on the street eating shit you find out of a trash can like a racoon, remark that they have terrible luck. I would say your luck has been pretty great so far, sure you may not have won a free coffee rolling up the rim at timmy's, but you are lucky enough to have a job that lets you buy a fucking coffee.
It looks like one of the lead developers from Microsoft, Brandon Watson, just posted on twitter that any WebOS developer could count on Microsoft to provide everything needed to develop for their platform, like a free phone or dev kits.
Very smart move from Microsoft and I might add a very nice gesture.
With their newest OS 'Mango' coming out early september and some new developers, I am predicting Windows will be a strong player in the mobile world soon enough.

There is a rumour floating around that webOS, which was bought out in 2009 along with Palm, is dead. Apparently there was a conference call with some seniors in the company today that said they are looking to offload the software onto a 3rd party handset developer.
I was hoping that the Touchpad and Pre 3 would take off, but without the full support of HP, it was just a amazing shell of an OS with no 3rd party app support. WebOS still to this day has the best multitasking and notification system in any phone OS.
Sad to see it go.
UPDATE: Rumour confirmed :(

Speaking of the patent craze, it looks like Kodak is looking to sell off 10% of it's patent portfolio. Many analysts believe that Kodaks patents are worth exponentially more than the company itself. Kodak is valued close to 730 million, well it's patents would be worth billions. Sad to see such a historic company in rough waters, but they haven't adapted well since the dawn of digital. Will be interesting to see who puts some offers in on these.
View when I woke up this morning.
Driven by rising demand for ivory, elephant poaching in and around northern Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve has reached its highest rate in 14 years, with alarming consequences for the animal’s population balance and potentially, the entire ecosystem.

I know this isn't tech related or a picture of my cat, but this is just so sad I had to repost it.

I know the news is a couple days old now, but I am ecstatic that google is finally beefing up their mobile portfolio. They continuously say that they are committed to developing a mobile operating system that is top notch, yet they don't put the might that is google behind that statement.
It seems that the mobile OS and device war is going to be won with innovation and securing major patents to block access to the tech for other handset creators. Google has very little in the way of mobile patents, until the announcement that they are working towards acquiring Motorola's mobile devision. The biggest concern that I have heard over the past few days is if Google starts producing their own mobile phone, what will happen to other mobile handset developers like HTC or Sony? My question is will Motorola's mobile patents be enough to help out handset developers?
Everyone that knows me knows I have an iPhone and I love it to death, but I wouldn't file myself as being an Apple fanboi, apple has had a long history for me as tech that works. I would rather see companies compete with innovation instead of patient wars, so I sincerely hope that Google can fend off some of these attacks and make a truly polished droid. I also hope this means the end of Moto Blur.
