The TechList: 21.Mar.2010
Apple iPad developers now deaf, dumb & blind. Google wants your TV set — hope you don’t mind.
1. Apple. Says iPad developers must be in locked windowless rooms, chained to their desks. At Apple, that’s called “employee benefits.”
2. YouTube. Emails reveal founders to be scurvy video pirates. Also total homeboy-wannabees. Keepin’ it real, yo.
3. Viacom. Execs uploaded “unauthorized” videos to YouTube from Kinkos. Because how else are you going to justify a $1 billion law suit?
4. Twitter. Ev William’s @anywhere keynote goes @nowhere at SXSW. More proof these guys should be tweeted and not heard.
5. Google TV. Our benevolet Web overlords plan to invade your living room, but not in an evil way. Also, the “V” are our friends. Really.
6. Digg. Shows sneek peek of new interface at SXSW. Also announced Digg power user curfews now extended to midnight. Par-taaayyy!
7. Nexus One. Now available from AT&T for only $529. Because self-loathing masochists need smart phones too.
8. Social Media. Half of all Twitter/Facebook users update from bed, per survey. 67% are bragging about sex; 99% are alone at the time.
9. Zits & Giggles. Pimple-popping app banned after developer slams App Store. No conspiracy; it just ran into the iClearasil app.
10. Bottle ship. Eco-warriors set sail in ship made from 12K plastic bottles. Hope they reach port before some wino tries to recycle their boat.
