This afternoon Michael pointed out Apple’s replacement plan for their “exploding” batteries.
Remedy: Consumers should stop using the recalled batteries immediately and contact Apple to arrange for a replacement battery, free of charge. After removing the recalled battery from their iBook or PowerBook, consumers should plug in the AC adapter to power the computer until a […]

As one might have gleamed from my write up of DemoCamp 3.0, I was half suspecting that the monthly “uncampference” would take a serious leap over the shark. I’m happy to say I don’t think it has, although it’s certainly not out of the lake (lake sharks?) yet.
I think one change that significantly impacted my […]

I just read a write up for a new service called Crazy Egg over at Mashable that simply blew my mind.
Crazy Egg lets you track a users mouse movements and clicks and then overlay the information as a “heat map” indicating exactly the areas of the screen the users attention was focused. I suppose there […]

Albert points out that some clever BubbleShare users have created voiced recipes with the application.
At the AIMS event this morning Amber MacArthur warned (correctly) that creating a video podcast would require at least a couple people. The addition of an “export to podcast” feature could effectivly make BubbleShare a lo-fi way to […]

I Just got back from a fantastic evening with Shel Israel, the co-author of Naked Conversations.
Shel’s speaking at the “Social Marketing” event being put on by AIMS Canada tomorrow today and Alec Saunders was good enough to organize the get together. It was an overwhelming success, with nearly 70 participants gathered to talk shop and […]

Just got back from DemoCamp 3.0 and I’m amazed at how much has changed from 1.0. It’s gone from 30 people huddled in a BubbleShare board room, to nearly 90 people huddled in the Tucows… hallway? While it was exciting to see the growth, it almost felt more like Dave Winer’s proposed HyperCamp. If I […]

Does anyone have any suggestions on an open source wiki that will allow registered user to email pages to the system? I’ve spent the better part of the day researching and testing installs and havn’t hit on that will work for me. Below I listed some of what I tried:
TikiWiki
Allows replacing (creating?) and appending of […]

Hogg’s had it, and won’t subscribe to RSS feeds that only syndicate excerpts. Although he is going to send them an email, and give them a chance to repent, I suspect he’s going to lose a feed or two in the end.
I’m not entirely against the excerpt myself, and I guess monetization is the primary […]

Tonight I dropped into the latest Hacktivism presentation, this time focusing on Cell Phone Hacks. The regular speaker had to be rescheduled, but InterAccess managed to have a couple of fill-in’s who work in media arts. I didn’t catch the two guys names, but one was involved with TorontoWireless. Either way the substitutes proved to […]
