The Slush Pile Roundup
Here is a list of links that have been sitting for far too long in the slush pile. None of them are worth enough for an entry of their own, but they all deserve a mention:
These Jam Jackets for the iPhone look nice. You can wrap up your earbuds on the back of the jacket. My only problem is they suddenly make the sleek iPhone as fat as the Treo. What’s the point?
Fan boys have been fantasizing about the multi-touch computer ideas that have been patented by Apple recently. Steve Jobs shot them out of the water with his, “Classify that as a research project,” comment. A multi-touch mouse would make things much easier once you learned how to use it. I suspect Steve has more up his sleeve than a tablet PC ripoff.
Eye-Fi has suggested that they are creating a card that can upload your photos as soon as you take them to your favorite network (like Flickr). Considering how many of my photos don’t turn out and shouldn’t see the light of day, that sounds like a BAD idea.
Did Shiny Shiny really act this excited about the Pink Zune?
Is Apple TV really the standard by which we should be judging things?
I love concept cars. This one is pretty and I like the idea of swiveling backseat so that you can watch the scenery a little easier. It would have made those long road trips my sister and I took as children a tad nicer. She could have turned her seat away from me when I was constantly poking her.
The fact that it’s a hybrid as well is just icing on the cake.
It feels good to clean up the slush pile a little bit. I wanted to remember each of these entries, but I really didn’t have enough to say about them all. It’s funny how different I feel about them when they have been sitting around for a while.
