Microsoft Are Back On Top With Surface

I have just watched the most exciting user interface video yet seen. It’s not of the forthcoming iPhone nor is it any kind of Apple product. This is Microsoft Surface and it promises a revolution in how we interact with our computers and mobile devices, I’m completely blown away by not the technology behind the system, but how well it’s used to produce a product that will potentially devestate Apple’s market share.

I Can Has Likkle Written Contentz?

The internet is an odd place, as I look at wordpress.com right now I see the top few blogs are I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?, passive-aggressive notes from roommates, neighbors, coworkers and strangers and of course Scobleizer.

Fear Of Google: As Seen On Google Timeline!

I saw over on Valleywag they’ve written yet another hack piece on the so-called Fear Of Google with the standard sensationalism and lack of humour. They’ve even drawn a pretty graph they collated data on from the Nexis newspaper database showing their spectacular lack of knowledge on current Google events.

I Think I Just Invented The Real Search 2.0

I’m going to tell you what the real Search 2.0 is and you’re going to shout at me and tell me I should have patented and I’m a fool. However, if you don’t hire me to build it for you then you’re a fool because I get these ideas on a daily basis and I will crush you at some point in my life. Just kidding, I’m a fan of open ideas as well as open source especially when they’re for the benefit of us all.

Digg On Your Desktop

I’ve previously posted a video of the new search interface I’ve been experimenting with. In order to get some feedback on how it works I’ve put together a small application that uses the Digg API to display the popular news stories on your desktop background.

Why You Should Criticise The Tech You Love

If you don’t criticise what you love, it’ll stay the same whilst you as a human being never will. You’re changed by the criticism, praise and ideas of those around you.

Why Isn’t Google A Fair Target?

I get a lot of comments, trackbacks and email lambasting me for daring to suggest that Google is anything but the best and most ingenious search engine ever made.

Sorry Google, It’s Not Working Out

Google I’m sorry, it’s not the way it used to be between us anymore. It’s not that you haven’t cared for me, given me gifts (the digital photo frame broke by the way) and let me watch porn.

Google Copied My Ideas

I’ve been writing search articles since November 2006, as a search engineer it helps me to construct my thoughts and focus on my work. I was never really under the impression that anybody in industry paid a huge amount of attention to my thinking though – maybe they still don’t – but I appear to have predicted many of the features of Google’s new experimental search in quite some elaborate detail.

Quality Reading For 10 May 2007

I’ve decided to put together a list of the material I read on the internet throughout the day whenever I get the time to do so, meaning that you my loyal readers have someone to sort the wheat from the chaff for you.

Search From Jason Calcanis? Valleywag Will Post Anything

Over at Valleywag they’ve ushered out a new speculative article on the next move of Jason Calcanis, the Silicon Valley entrepeneur who sold his blog network to AOL Time Warner for a multi million dollar sum:

“several people, in a position to know of his plans, say these schemes are at most hobbies, or pure disinformation; the next venture is a search engine.”

Don’t Use Google, Praise Apple or Deify Digg

Some of you seem to be under the misconception that you’re right. Of course you’re not.

I’m right, you’re all wrong and I’m going to whinge about it because this is web 2.0 and I can.
