Exactly. This machine is not for the faint of heart.
Ok… I added some more nice items, some upgrades and here’s the final total.
$10,103.95. Nice!
Got money lying around? Get the Blackbird 002 now and you might just get broke tomorrow.
Ok… Let’s pretend we all don’t know…
Hmm… I wonder what it is…
Maybe it should be “Something really thin, long battery life, 3G, Maps with GPS, App Store… um what else… MobileMe integration… Push email, push contacts, $199 (MAX), blah bleh blih…”
Remember Star Wars’ Princess Leia’s hologram communication with Obi-wan? Yeah, that was like more than 20 years ago. Now that technology is not science fiction anymore.
Cisco just unveiled their newest product On-Stage TelePresence Holographic Video Conferencing. It’s very cool and it brings out the inner geek in us.
You have to really watch this video to believe it!
Check out the video!

“SingTel confirms iPhone for Singapore, India, the Philippines and Australia.
In a singularly uninformative press release, SingTel, Singapore’s largest telecommunications company, has announced that it is bringing the iPhone to “Singapore, India, the Philippines and Australia later this year” through several subsidiary carrier brands: SingTel, Bharti Airtel, Globe and Optus.
The latter confirms our earlier post that Aussies won’t be limited to Vodafone for their iPhone needs. Unfortunately no dates or pricing have been announced; it seems safe to assume this will cover the forthcoming 3G iPhone. In any case, this is good news for some of our Asia / Pacific iPhone brethren.”
Still nothing for us over here.
Argh!

Update: And it’s probably 3G!
New Macbook Pro and Macbooks with the new processors just got out. Head over to Apple.com now and drool.

Apple upgraded and rolled out upgraded iPhones and iPod touches. Ok cool! This is good news for US and Europe. But Apple forgot that there is a country called Canada. Hint: it’s very near US.
Sigh!
I guess we won’t have to slash our throat like some poor consumer who just bought an iPhone… like… last week. 
Being an early adopter sucks sometimes (if not most of the time).

I guess it’s Sony.

“Not to be outdone by Murdoch and his slew of MySpace announcements, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has made some pretty big announcements today at the Web 2.0 Conference, speaking on Microsoft’s plans to acquire 20 companies per year for the next five years, ranging from $50 million to $1 billion, reports Venturebeat.”
Are you one of those companies?
“These past couple of months since our last release, we asked ourselves, “What can we do to make SkyDrive even better?” The most obvious answer is something that our users have asked us to do: give out more storage. We’re excited to announce that we’re doubling everyone’s storage to 1 GB!”
MozyHome Free has 2 GB of free backup space.
“Live Search 411 enables you to do this for free, from any phone in the US. Just call 1-800-CALL-411 (1-800-225-5411) and say where you are and what you’re looking for. You can also get text messages, maps, traffic maps, and text-based driving directions sent to your mobile phone (with a service plan that supports text messages or data access, of course!).”
“In a bold move, the UMass Office of Information Technologies makes a stand against violating intellectual property rights by….violating intellectual property rights?”
“Although rumors of a possible Google Phone have been making the rounds really hard lately, any such phone will have to be amazing to grab enough end-user and media attention. Expectations are high, but since we’re dreaming, here’s Gizmodo’s wishlist.”
Marissa Mayer didn’t comment nor deny on the question “Have you seen the GPhone?” by Om Malik .
“One day I say, if I can find only one hair, only one hair of the eyebrow, I will have definitively the proof that originally Leonardo da Vinci had painted eyelash and eyebrow,” said Cotte.
“We’re not used to thinking of them this way. But many advanced military weapons are essentially robotic — picking targets out automatically, slewing into position, and waiting only for a human to pull the trigger. Most of the time. Once in a while, though, these machines start firing mysteriously on their own.”
Remember iRobot?
