Joost Invites To Give Away

Apparently Joost is not as popular as I thought... Or, I spend to much time one the net compared to those I associate with. I have asked all of my friends if they would like a Joost invite, and the most common response is "What is Joost?" from the look of absolute horror on my face in response to this people ask "what is wrong?" To that I say "am I the only person plugged into the Internet?" I realize that it is just series of tubes, but dang... Joost is everywhere in the space isn't it? Anyway, I have two invites that expire on the 22nd, and am now offering them to the first two posters to this comment.

Services Scrubber Hurray!!

Mac OS has a Services menu where all the tasks associated with each app on your system are found in one location. I had for the longest time items in my services menu that where out of place like "convert to simplified chinese". I went looking for the location of each of these services in an attempt to remove them. This can be a difficult task in itself, so I googled "how to edit the services menu in OSX" and found an app that simplifies the process of disabling services you don't use, and removing those that are orphaned when uninstalling software. The App is called Services Scrubber, and it can be found here. Give it try. I am glad I did.

Searchmash

Searchmash is googles new search engine that has a web 2.0 feel, and is customizable to the searcher. If Google implements this search engine as a replacement for their current offering, they will most certainly secure an already tight grip on the search engine game. I am using this as my default search engine and I suggest you give it a try. Happy searching...

Robert Scobles' thoughts about Zune vs. iPod

I respect the thoughts of Robert Scoble, and have to say I agree with him on many points regarding this hot topic. Below is his post that has made news lately.

My thoughts about Zune vs. iPod « Scobleizer - Tech Geek Blogger: " October 26, 2006

So, you’ve seen the Zune video. Here’s my thoughts about whether Microsoft is going to be successful.

I’ll come at it from a number of different angles:

THE FUNDAMENTALS

Box design: good. As good as iPod.
Look and feel and overall hardware quality: good. As good as iPod. I actually even liked the brown one a lot.
Screen: better than iPod.
Hard drive size: worse than iPod.
Features: mixed bag, we’ll get into that below.
Price: in the right neighborhood.
Marketing: unknown, but Apple has set such a high bar that I doubt Microsoft can even get close.
Software experience: unknown.
Updateability: better than iPod (if I were Apple I’d worry about this).
Conversationality: (Does it cause a conversation). Here Apple wins with the white headphones hands down.
Integration: beats the iPod cause it works with Xbox.

EDGE CASE

As an edge case, IE, someone who tries all the latest stuff and gets excited about a lot of it, the Zune abjectly fails"

To Further the discussion, David Caulton a Zune contributor had this to say about the Scobleizer's comments comparing the Zune and iPod.
