Why I won't buy an iPad (and think you shouldn't, either) – Boing Boing
Relying on incumbents to produce your revolutions is not a good strategy. They’re apt to take all the stuff that makes their products great and try to use technology to charge you extra for it, or prohibit it altogether.

Wider Angles: Photoshop "Content-Aware Fill" – A Picture's Worth
Adobe Photoshop Project Manager John Nack previewed the “Content-Aware Fill” feature that will make its way into the Photoshop CS5 later this year. The Content-Aware Fill allows operators to remove parts of the scene without laborious retouching. The implications for image security, watermark removal, and creative expression are enormous.
How should photographers, photo buyers and the industry greet this new technology? And what are its implications, both good and bad?

Line2 Allows iPhone Users to Sidestep AT and T – NYTimes.com
IPhone App to Sidestep AT&T
Line2 takes a big step toward a future when cellphone users won’t need to rely on a cellphone carrier’s service.

Line2 also turns the iPhone into a dual-mode phone. That is, it can make and receive calls either using either the AT&T airwaves as usual, or — now this is the best part — over the Internet. Any time you’re in a wireless hot spot, Line2 places its calls over Wi-Fi instead of AT&T’s network.

How to Build Effective Links for SEO – A Picture's Worth
Building links to your website is, by far, the most effective way to enhance your SEO. Each link represents an “endorsement” and the number of links partially influences how much of your website will be indexed by the search engines, and where you appear in search results.

Viewfinder
It’s surprising that it’s taken this long for someone to create a universal (well – almost universal) photographer’s viewfinder application for the iPhone. It has a built-in camera, as well as a large, bright, and sharp screen. Everything that one needs to turn it into viewfinder.

iPhone developer EULA turns programmers into serfs
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has published the Apple iPhone Developer Program License Agreement, a secretive document that requires its signatories to agree to a gag order on the terms of the…
It’s amazing all the ways that the iPhone manages to screw the people that love it: saddling iPhone owners with crappy contracts with abusive mobile companies, limiting their access to programs and forcing them into one-sided EULAs, then screwing the developers with equally abusive agreements.
