FriendFeed adds real-time searchToday

“Just enter a search query as you always have, and see new results instantly stream in at the top of your screen in real-time. No need to constantly click refresh. It’s an extremely useful (not to mention mesmerizing) way to immediately see what people are saying about a particular topic. You can search across just your friends or all of FriendFeed, including imported services like blogs and Twitter accounts.”

Real-time search is a really useful feature for news junkies and anyone who has to monitor a specific topic for work or play. And FriendFeed searches are powerful, too, with a level of granularity that makes them incredibly useful.

Impending Newton Y2K10 apocalypse narrowly averted - Ars TechnicaToday

Make

fun of Apple’s Newton MessagePad all you want, but the proto-PDA introduced by Apple in the early 90s managed to gather some rather tenacious followers. Current users of the then-revolutionary, now-exceedingly-bulky personal digital assistants were afraid that a date handling bug would render the devices useless beginning early next year. However, fear no more: a developer has come to the rescue with a patch for the Newton’s OS that lets the device handle dates in 2010 and beyond.

I loved my Newton. The MessagePad 2000 was an awesome little machine, capable of replacing a laptop much more effectively than the much-smaller iPhone will ever do. And the handwriting recognition and “assistant” feature are still state of the art.

Deathmatch rematch: BlackBerry versus iPhone 3.0 | Business Center | iPhone Central | MacworldToday
Galen Gruman compares the iPhone to Blackberry Bold and concludes that it’s time to retire the Blackberry. I’m not sure that he’s wrong, despite liking the Blackberry’s approach to email more.
“The iPhone clearly has some issues, but for such a mature platform, the BlackBerry is surprisingly mediocre when it comes to e-mail. The iPhone makes it easier to read, send, and organize e-mails and contacts, but it falls short when it comes to zipped attachments. Both disappoint for calendar management.”
