The Big Picture

Nearly 4 million people have flocked to the Boston Globe's blog, The Big Picture, since it debuted in late May, surprising the Globe that such a simple blog could create such a stir.

What Are the iPhone Apps?

It’s no big secret that the big tech news next week will be the July 11 release of the new iPhone. But it strikes me that the really big news is the App Store, which opens the same day. As I’ve written before, I think the potential of a single, centralized software storehouse and direct downloads to your phone (and most of them free) is absolutely staggering.

Supporting the long tail of open source

LAMP stacks are big. CRM and ERP systems, based on databases, are also big. Applications like Firefox, Open Office and The Gimp are very, very big.

Gustav: Why is the big storm getting the big shrug? (The Barrel oil blog)

It is the middle of a long weekend indeed for US oil futures traders -- and reporters -- as the first major hurricane to threaten US oilfields in three years moves slowly and menacingly towards the coast of Louisiana. Traders were cursing the weather as Hurricane Gustav edged past Jamaica and Cuba as the weekend began -- but the storm is creating more volatility for their holiday planning than oil prices.

Black OX Robot Is Big on the Bad, Small on the Big

We're not discriminant enough in our miniature robot collecting to fully appreciate this Black OX robot from the series Gigantor, but even at our half appreciation it's still pretty incredible. Featuring 22 joints, LEDs, gyro sensors and accelerometer, Black OX only stands 17 inches tall, but he'll still manage to hold your eyes open while having his way with your wife/garbage disposal. The price is only $7,450 to score one of 30 that will be produced. Hit the link to check out many videos capturing the robot in motion. [Vstone via Crunchgear]

Will crowds turn up for iPhone 3G?

We’ve had an internal debate in the Macworld offices this week about how big a deal Friday’s iPhone 3G launch will turn out to be. I mean, certainly, we think it’s big in the sense that people are interested in the updated phone and will upgrade in significant numbers. But is it… you know… camp-out-in-front-of-your-local-retailer-for-hours big?

IBM Sells 60 Teraflops Power6-Linux Super in Holland

Server maker IBM has spent more than a decade taking on the supercomputer market, and has become one of the big dogs, if not the big dog, when it comes to building different styles of high performance computer clusters. Last week, the company announced its first big Power6-based Power 575 supercomputer running Linux, nicknamed Huygens after the famous Dutch scientist, which was sold to SARA Computing and Networking, the national supercomputing network built and managed by the national government in The Netherlands.

HSBC Dumping BlackBerry for iPhone? No Way

Jim Balsille, and likely his top sales team, must have been suffering some serious palipitations last week when a tech news site ran a big headline, and big story, about how a big Research in Motion (RIM) customer was considering switching off the BlackBerry platform for Apple's new iPhone.

BlackBerry Thunder Touch Keyboard Aims to Be Best Ever: Like a Giant Button With Haptics

The BlackBerry's keyboard is an object of worship, and RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis has publicly said the iPhone's touch keyboard sucks. So, the BlackBerry Thunder's touch keyboard had better be the best one you've ever smeared your fingerprints on. According to Crackberry, it has two big tricks: The screen itself is "sort of like a big button," so it pushes in a little bit with a clicky sound, and it buzzes where you push it (localized haptics). There is one big limitation though.

UK Band Admits It's 'Utterly Dependent' On Piracy

At some point, it won't make sense to post these sorts of examples any more because it will just be common sense that bands can and do benefit from so-called "piracy," but every time we post one of these stories, we get people complaining that this couldn't possibly work for others. When a band is big, then it will never work for small artists. When they're small, it'll never work for big artists. Once we even had a commenter complain that it might work for big artists or small artists -- but it was the all important artists in the middle that it would never work for.
