Suggestions for RSS .92 spec

October 12, 2000

I’d like to sug­gest a few optional addi­tions to the spec­i­fi­ca­tion. Here are some ideas I’d like to throw around for dis­cus­sion: At the item level : This would allow us to spec­ify a par­tic­u­lar date for an item. I think it would be nice for those of us who have sev­eral days’ worth of con­tent in their RDF […]

From Scandinavia With Love

September 17, 2000

I was recently speak­ing at a con­fer­ence called Escan­di­navia 2000, which cov­ered the state of the Inter­net in Scan­di­navia. Dur­ing that con­fer­ence, I had a chance to speak to a num­ber of peo­ple about the state of wire­less in the Scan­di­na­vian coun­tries. Here’s what I’ve learned and how it can help those of you who are work­ing in the […]

Challenging WAP?

May 28, 2000

As reg­u­lar read­ers of this newslet­ter know, I’ve been look­ing a fair amount at how to get unteth­ered from the Inter­net lately.

Here in New York City, I take my wire­less con­nec­tiv­ity for granted. The same thing was true of my trips in Europe. Car­ry­ing a cell phone and a wire­less Palm has never really been a prob­lem and, for a while at least, I was con­vinced that the wire­less rev­o­lu­tion was upon us any minute now. Last week, while on a busi­ness trip […]

Going wireless with the Palm V

April 22, 2000

For the past few weeks, I’ve been exper­i­ment­ing with OmniSky’s new wire­less ser­vice for the Palm V and I have to admit that it has affected my wire­less usage. Run­ning over AT&T’s CDPD net­work, the ser­vice allows Palm V users to get full access to the net at speeds of up to 19.2kbps. Priced at $300 for the […]

March 4, 2000

The lack of clear stan­dard­iza­tion and leader is imped­ing the progress of mobile inter­net technology.

Transmeta Changes the Landscape

January 19, 2000

Mor­ph­ing soft­ware could allow com­puter chips to change based on soft­ware upgrades. A new com­pany, Trans­meta, enters the space and could rede­fine how chips are produced.
