Google launches "open" G1 phone. Yawn

So while I haven't actually touched the new HTC T-Mobile Google G1 phone, after reading up on it online from afar, it seems that my friend Priya Ganapati over at Wired.com sums up my gut reaction: "T-Mobile's G1 Android Phone: Neither Open nor Exciting."

OpenOffice.org 3.0: The Big Yawn

So there's another version of OpenOffice out, and it's even the 3.0 release! Wow! Cool stuff eh? Well, not really. You see there was a time when I would have been thrilled to get a new release of OpenOffice, but I just can't find the old excitement with this release.

Microsoft Thinks iPhone's Sales Figure are Cute

"Microsoft's Robbie Bach feigned an uninterested yawn at Apple's 6.9 million iPhones figure in an interview with BusinessWeek the other day. He wasn't particularly insulting of the product, but didn't think the number means too much in the long run. "Apple had a big launch of a new product, and they launched at scale in a lot of new countries with a lot of new [wireless] operators. This quarter, RIM is having its big launch, and at some point we'll have our big launch. We'll have to see where things normalize." While that statement is encouraging for the fact that it semi-implies that Windows Mobile 7 is supposed to be released at "some point," we're not sure we're picking up what Robbie is putting down -- 6.9 million of a single device seems to imply a bit more than "launch buzz.

Gordo & LiLo chow down at Nobu

Use your Nokia to avoid getting lost

NOKIA MAPS is best appreciated as a combination. Try it on the original version of the Nokia N95 and you'll yawn. Borrow an E66 from Nokia and it is an entirely different beast. It has quirks but it works. Well, just.

Good Dick

Scottish-born director Marianna Palka won praise and prizes at the Sundance and Edinburgh festivals for this debut feature, but it utterly defeated me: torpid US indie movie-making, heavy with emotional self-importance and topped off with an ending that left my cheeks sprinkled with the kind of tears you get on suppressing a yawn. Palka plays a chronically depressed young woman who shows up at an LA video store every afternoon to rent straight porn. One of the clerks (Jason Ritter), from a crew of idler-mumblers like something from Clerks or High Fidelity, is also depressed, with "issues" of his own. He divines in his customer a kindred spirit and falls in love with her, and, like a benign stalker, comes to her apartment on a mission to save both their lives.
