Gates and Jobs reveal secret relationship; Palm gives smart phones a companion; Apple brings YouTube to couch potatoes; Mahalo says hello to hand-crafted search results; and high-flying wings.
IT'S THE MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR...
I'M RICH DEMURO WITH CNET TV AND YOU ARE IN THE QUEUE - WEEK IN REVIEW!
WE ARE TALKING TOP TECH STORIES FOR THE LAST WEEK OF MAY, 2007.
LETS GET YOU STARTED WITH SOME EYE CANDY!
RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS!
AND NOT JUST THE JITTERY CAFFEINE AND SUGAR INDUCED ONES!
THE RED BULL AIR RACE IS A FLIGHT COMPETITION WHERE PILOTS MANUEVER FAST AND CLOSE TO THE GROUND...
RACING AGAINST TIME AT SPEEDS UP TO 250 MILES AN HOUR.
CROWDS ARE CLOSE FOR IN YOUR FACE ACTION...
THERE'S A RACE IN TURKEY THIS WEEKEND.
TWO TECH TITANS TOOK THE STAGE AT THE FIFTH ANNUAL D - ALL THINGS DIGITAL CONFERENCE...
WALT MOSSBERG AND KARA SWISHER...
AND THEY GOT TO TALK TO BILL GATES AND STEVE JOBS.
WE'VE KEPT OUR MARRIAGE SECRET FOR OVER A DECADE NOW...
THE 90 MINUTE DISCUSSION TOUCHING ON EVERYTHING FROM THOSE "I'M A MAC I'M A PC ADS..."
TO THE EARLY DAYS OF MACINTOSH AND MICROSOFT.
THE JOINT-ONSTAGE APPEARANCE THE FIRST IN OVER 20 YEARS.
IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, YOU GOT YOUR SMARTPHONE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO LUG A COMPUTER AROUND ALL THE TIME...
BUT HAND-HELD PIONEER PALM IS BETTING BIG THAT ROAD WARRIORS ARE TIRED OF SQUINTING AT SMALL SCREENS AND CRAMPED KEYBOARDS.
THEIR FOLEO MOBILE COMPANION LINKS UP TO YOUR SMARTPHONE AND LETS YOU EDIT EMAILS, DOCUMENTS AND SURF THE WEB THROUGH BLUETOOTH OR WI-FI.
THE DEVICE IS NOT MEANT TO REPLACE A LAPTOP...
5-HUNDRED DOLLAR FOLIO FEATURES A 10 INCH SCREEN, 5 HOUR BATTERY LIFE AND WEIGHS IN AT 2 AND A HALF POUNDS.
MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH APPLE TV IS THE LACK OF HIGH DEFINITION PROGRAMMING AVAILABLE FOR IT...
AFTER ALL - THE DEVICE IS MEANT TO CONNECT TO YOUR HDTV...
BUT APPLE IS GOING EVEN LOWER-RES...BY ADDING YOUTUBE VIDEO TO THE DEVICE.
BEGINNING IN MID-JUNE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO WIRELESSLY STREAM SELECTED YOUTUBE VIDEOS THROUGH THE DEVICE...
APPLE WILL START WITH CURRENT AND POPULAR VIDEOS, AND CONTINUE TO ADD THE FULL LIBRARY.
SINCE THE QUALITY IS PRETTY CHOPPY ON COMPUTER SCREENS, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW BLOCKY IT WILL LOOK ON THE BIG SCREEN - BUT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE YOUR APPLE TV REMOTE TO BROWSE AND PLAY THE SNACK-SIZED SHORTS.
DEFINITELY NOT A BAD IDEA...BUT I'D STILL LIKE TO SEE SOME HD MOVIE CONTENT SOON.
FINALLY - THE BETA...
WHILE GOOGLE HAS PAGERANK...AND ASK USED TO HAVE JEEVES...
WHEN IT'S THE HUMAN TOUCH YOU WANT IN A WEBSEARCH...
SAY HELLO TO MAHALO.
THE HUMAN POWERED SEARCH ENGINE USES GUIDES TO HAND-CRAFT RESULTS PAGES...
THE NEAT THING ABOUT THIS SITE IS THAT YOU WON'T FIND ANY SPAM IN IT'S SEARCH RESULTS...
AND PAGES ONLY INCLUDE THE BEST LINKS TO TELL YOU MORE ABOUT YOUR TOPIC.
THERE ARE 4-THOUSAND POPULAR SEARCHES NOW LIVE..
MAHALO'S GOAL IS TO HAVE 10-THOUSAND BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
MY FAVORITE IS THE MAHALO TOP 7...
THE 7 BEST LINKS FOR EACH SEARCH TERM...
A GOOD LINK FOR YOU - THE CNET TV BLOG...WHERE YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT WE TALK ABOUT HERE ON THE QUEUE.
I'M RICH DEMURO WITH CNET TV IN NEW YORK CITY AND I LOVE THE EXTRA LEGROOM IN EXIT ROWS.
