Wired Mind

…Product reviews are without question the best part of Gizmodo (and Engadget). But that’s not how Lam’s diatribe reads. Lam feels insulted, but rather than say so, he says instead that RIM has insulted Gizmodo’s readers, which I find humorous in that Lam is the guy who has so much respect for Gizmodo readers that, for instance, when he found out that Cisco was going to announce some sort of slapdash “iPhone” VOIP dingus in December 2006 in an effort to protect their iPhone trademark, Lam let them (i.e. trusting Gizmodo readers) believe for an entire weekend that Apple was announcing the iPhone that coming Monday — a stunt that converted trust into extra page views.

Daring Fireball’s John Gruber on Brian Lam’s tirade against RIM because they didn’t give Gizmodo a review unit. This was exactly my thoughts about Gizmodo stupidly pretending that they care about their readers (and not the page views they lost because of not having a Blackberry Storm 2 review unit).

10/GUI Multitouch Concept

There’s a reason why despite iPhone’s success, the idea of a multi-touch GUI hasn’t really taken the desktop computing space by storm. Ergonomics and bunch of other things poses serious problems in adapting the multi-touch gui in the desktop.

Now a company called 10/GUI thinks they have the solution to these problems. Take the time to watch their video. These guys must be on to something.

Flatland

A detailed critique of an article by Tog on how to improve Springboard (this is your iPhone “desktop”).

Got the link from Daring Fireball. I also echo his sentiment — loved the illustrations in this article.
