We were interviewing Steve Wozniak (the original co-founder of Apple with Steve Jobs, who actually built the first Apple machines) after his speech at the AlwaysOn conference. Being a Mac fan and user of old I asked him to sign my Macbook. He tried a ballpoint which didn’t work. The next thing I knew he’d whipped out what appeared to be a portable laser (it was damn bright to look
So I arrived in San Francisco on Saturday only to be met with another heat-wave to replace the one I’d left behind in London. Oh joy. At least my hotel in Palo Alto, off El Camino Real, turned out to have air conditioning that worked! The Sunday morning was cooler when I met tech writer Mark Haas, (pictured) who had been introduced to me by old friend Steve Carlson, whom
So I’m off to San Francisco/Palo Alto to meet some contacts and attend the Always On conference at Stanford this week. After that it’s on to LA to chat to a few ‘digital hollywood’ execs and mobile people…

I’d love to hear from (and possibly meet with) any technology firms in the digital media and entertainment world; mobile; TV and anything at all “Web 2.0”. Indeed, anything “2.0” at all, Web or not! (Yes, I know we all sick of the
Well, my three-year-old Apple Powerbook laptop died. I lost a lot of data and I may not get it all back. I should imagine the two nasty drops it took over the last few months had something to do with it. Before you ask, yes, I backed it up. But guess what? Looks like the back-up didn’t work as well as I thought it would. Suffice it to say, don’t
I’d like to take a moment to say something about the slow destruction of closed portals and the future of identity. We’ve come a long way. In the very early days of the Internet media owners felt they had to be a one-stop shop to everything online. Time Inc. was one of those and it launched Pathfinder.com in the mid-90s to do just that.
