Verizon unveils iPhone rival for holiday shoppers, "will kill the iPhone"
“We think it’ll be the best phone … this year. It will kill the iPhone,” Verizon Wireless Chief Marketing Officer Mike Lanman said in an interview. Wow, that’s a lot of smack talk for just an image. I wasn’t able to find any additional information on this new phone at all. Still, as always, and companies like Verizon don’t get this, “it’s the software, stupid.” My prediction: this barely makes a ripple. Verizon unveils iPhone rival for holiday shoppers

How to redesign the Leopard dock so it sucks less
“It screws with developer’s expensive and painstakingly created icons by adding not one, but two awful fake shadows, a reflection and a weird shelf look which doesn’t fit in with the the actual perspective of any of the icons.”
Word. The new dock sucks in all the ways Rory lists and more and he offers an alternative.

How the mobile phone biz lost the plot
This kind of backs up my blog post from a while back If the iPhone is Real… Why Would it be Such a Big Deal?
The iPhone is a big deal because thus far, what we have available is, in general, crap.

Popfly: Microsoft launches no-code mashup tool
An interesting idea, though my expectations are low. Still, who knows…? I find the idea of it being “myspace for widgets” the most interested piece of it.

More Firefox Bloat? Say It Ain't So, Mozilla
Et tu, Firefox? Didn’t they learn ANYTHING from the mess that Netscape became? The slow start ups, the memory hogging, the pieces that weren’t really necessary in day to day web browsing… Apparently not.

Apple "wrestles" with 3rd party iPhone apps decision
Apple, Pleeeeeease let us develop apps for the iPhone!
Say What? Flawed argument Put Forth by Recording Industry Shill
Simson who “is executive director of SoundExchange, which collects and distributes royalties on behalf of the recording industry.” and is hardly unbiased, argues: “In short, the CRB did what Congress asked it to do, at the behest of Webcasters. But when the CRB set what it judged to be fair and reasonable royalty rates, the Webcasters decided they were too high, cried foul and denounced the very process they had sought.” This completely misses the real issue: that small and independent streamers will get KILLED by this, leaving only the majors to provide the service. For instance: Save Internet Radio. Hardly the group that asked Congress to do ANYTHING, but the group with the greatest amount to lose.
