... wifi trialed by a few service providers, and I took a deep breath today as a Twitter post from Ryan Block gave me a heads up to yet another trial. This is one of the last frontiers for the truly mobile road warrior, imagine the productivity gains, if you could be online on your next eight hour Trans American flight. Well apparently the plane didn’t fall out of the sky, and people...

I think the Motrin ad execs should have read Ryan Block’s (btw, he’s the creator of Engadget) March 13th post The era of “all press is good press” is so very over. It seems that a few out-of-touch ad execs created a shockingly poor ad campaign that manages to insult mothers in general and give an [...]

We need things to go fast. Really fast. So when came across Ryan Block’s old post about the iPhone’s vector floating-point coprocessor, I was encouraged. But how to access this new coprocessor? I was excited to find some examples on Matthias Grundmann and Wolfgang Engel’s Google code project, vfpmathlibrary. They’re just getting started and only have [...]

... WifeOfDavidRisley.com, but what if it is a gadget blog with several writers? Do anyone care about Ryan Block? In fact, how many here even know who he is? The thing is, blogging as a concept is too wide to have rules like this. You can be totally anonymous and blog anyway, and get a crowd. It might be harder, since there’ll be natural credibility issues and so on, but it is by all...

... DDR3 memory (which would negate drops from the faster FSB) and the same processor clock speeds. As Ryan points out, this possibly means that as your battery degrades, you’ll probably have to a buy new one faster and more often, since the pool of energy is smaller to start with. It also gives fresh urgency to our hope for new TruePower batteries from FastMac, which cram more power into the...

Android is now available—yeah, it’s true—but you’re hard-pressed to find any review that raves about its user interface. (Ryan Block, of Engadget fame, called it “very raw” last week on Tekzilla, which is right on the money, I think.) But, in an alternate world, maybe where dogs walk people, these alternative user interfaces were developed. [...]

Usually when I'm looking to be inspired and find innovative new technologies I find myself in Tel Aviv meeting with early-stage startups. Yesterday I was in Las Vegas on a similar mission. Except rather than looking for a company to invest in, myself together with Kevin Kelly and Ryan Block were the judges at the first ever i-stage event and our goal was to determine the winner of...

Remember during Apple’s notebook spectacular when Steve mentioned that the new MacBook Pro could get a whopping 5 hours of battery life (when using the lamer 9400M chip, that is)? Well, it looks like that number is even more impressive than it originally sounded. Ryan Block noticed that the new MacBook Pro’s battery actually has [...]
