Well, over as in I won’t have the Tumblr posts auto-feeding as blog posts here. They don’t really work as regular blog posts, though they do work as Tumblr posts. So I’ll keep both blogs, but instead I’ll find a way to put Tumblr on the sidebar or something similar.

I may erase the Delicious links and use Tumblr for that purpose, instead.

iPhone 4 vs. iPhone 3GS lightsaber battle. Yes, really. Made with the iPhone 4 and iMovie. Deets here.

Bleeding Cool:

I understand an email went out to a number of Zuda creators half an hour ago. Announcing a radical and swinging reduction of DC Entertainment’s original digital comics line to a small handful of titles. And the canning and dropping of a large number of creators.

Sucks. Zuda was one of the things I really admired about DC.

Hopefully some of my friends still get the eyes on their books they deserve via the DC app.

BBC News - Finland makes broadband a 'legal right':

techspotlight:

Finland has become the first country in the world to make broadband a legal right for every citizen.

From 1 July every Finn will have the right to access to a 1Mbps (megabit per second) broadband connection. Finland has vowed to connect everyone to a 100Mbps connection by 2015.

In the UK the government has promised a minimum connection of at least 2Mbps to all homes by 2012 but has stopped short of enshrining this as a right in law.

The Finnish deal means that from 1 July all telecommunications companies will be obliged to provide all residents with broadband lines that can run at a minimum 1Mbps speed.

“Let’s start with the 3D, which was added as an afterthought to a 2D movie. Not only is it unexploited, unnecessary and hardly noticeable, but it’s a disaster even if you like 3D. M. Night Shyamalan’s retrofit produces the drabbest, darkest, dingiest movie of any sort I’ve seen in years. You know something is wrong when the screen is filled with flames that have the vibrancy of faded Polaroids. It’s a known fact that 3D causes a measurable decrease in perceived brightness, but “Airbender” looks like it was filmed with a dirty sheet over the lens.”

Maybe this will put a halt to unnecessary 3D?

“And, for obvious reasons, the glass back raises concerns about the iPhone 4’s droppability. With previous iPhones, it was liking dropping a piece of buttered toast — there was a lucky and unlucky side on which it could land. With the iPhone 4, it’s like dropping a piece of toast that’s been buttered on both sides.”

It truly is frightening.

I have no words for this. Really, Google? Really?

Samsung N150 Plus (N150-11) Review:

This netbook has replaced the Samsung NC10 in my heart.

“In most elevators, at least in any built or installed since the early nineties, the door-close button doesn’t work. It is there mainly to make you think it works. (It does work if, say, a fireman needs to take control. But you need a key, and a fire, to do that.) Once you know this, it can be illuminating to watch people compulsively press the door-close button. That the door eventually closes reinforces their belief in the button’s power. It’s a little like prayer. Elevator design is rooted in deception—to disguise not only the bare fact of the box hanging by ropes but also the tethering of tenants to a system over which they have no command.”
