Obvious Diversion

I ran into this Swoon work down on the Lower East Side. I’m always impressed when I do.

I have a brand new unopened set of Bose QuietComfort 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones for sale if anyone is interested. I’m sure they’re fantastic, but they’re nothing I would use. They look like this:

If you’re interested in buying them, shoot me an email and we’ll work out a paypal payment and I’ll [...]

Nintendo is clearly holding it’s cards close to it’s chest. No controller was shown, no game demos, and no specifications. All we got to see was the Nintendo Revolution console design and I’m pretty sure that if I touch it I will learn how to kill things with a bone. That’s a [...]

Sony unveiled a box so packed with features that it probably does shiatsu massage as well. The crazy-long list of features includes six USB ports, one SD port, one compactflash port, one memorystick port, a disc drive that supports and insane array of formats all the way up to Blue Ray, WiFi, Bluetooth and [...]

(Okay, I also played a few games.) The place was filled with kiosks to play games including these pretty cool surround sound [...]

Why in the world doesn’t Mac OS X include full FTP support in the Finder? Just like in previous versions, Mac OS 10.4 allows you to add an FTP server, but it’s abilities are restricted to read-only. Mac OS has full support of a myriad of protocols through the Finder and Safari. [...]

While waiting for my plane to board at Seattle’s Sea-Tac airport, I popped open my notebook to see if there was any WiFi available and was presented with these two overpriced options.
