The Weekly ‘Loper - January 14, 2007

While you doubling down on something that you should have never started in the first place, here’s what we were looking at:

  • Second Life and the Fourth Estate - Reuters has a Second Life bureau, cool, but why does their reporter need to make his last name Reuters?
  • 2007: The Year Web Video Comes To The TV - Lotsa people are going to try and bridge the gap this year, let’s just hope that someone does it well. Sadly enough, it looks like Apple TV is just a glorified iPod that happens to have HDMI & Progressive outputs. I would love to be wrong about this.
  • Why I want an iPhone - Just ahead of Steve Jobs’ unveiling of the iPhone, Tyson is nearly giddy with anticipation.
  • Why The HD-DVD / Blu-Ray Wars Are Not Over - Just saying that a war is over doesn’t make it so. And in the tech world, that is especially true if the porn industry is choosing your competitor.
  • Whatever Happened To Medialoper? - On our first anniversary, Kassia takes a look at how we started, and looks ahead to where we are going. One thing to add to the origin myth: the day after we had the meeting, we had a final list of names from which to choose.
  • iPhone: Welcome To The Backlash - That didn’t take long, as the backlash on the iPhone came with almost Zune-like swiftness and intensity. Of course, with all apologies to Steven Levy, the iPod itself is hardly perfect — the question for the masses will be whether they think that its better than what else is out there. And if they wanna spend at least a K to buy it.
  • That’s What I Like: Medialoper - One thing I forgot to mention: I also like the feedback that comes from and dialog that gets started by our readers.
  • iRobot; You Left Your Socks In The Couch Again - Hmmph. I think that this whole post ignores the fact that I’ve gotten much better: I used to leave my socks on the kitchen table. Progress!!
