Daring Fireball: Tits and Apps
Apple is protecting it’s premium brand image. Interesting take as usual. If Gruber’s right, then Apple sure is going about this in an awkward fashion. http://daringfireball.net/2010/02/tits_and_apps -KimG (from my iPhone)

Interesting piece talking about the complexity of computers compared the most people’s use cases. I’m guessing it’s an argument for the iPad model. I love the bit about the elevator and airplane. http://funkatron.com/site/comments/were-the-stupid-ones-facebook-google-and-our-failure-as-developers/

Driving-while-texting ban advances in Senate

Additionally, this will be extremely difficult to enforce since most driving youth can text by touch with their phone well...
Sony Dash To Get Netflix
I’m still not convinced this $199 Chumby-powered Sony Dash fills a need. I had a Chumby briefly, and returned it because my iPhone did so much more, so much better. Even if Sony’s hardware solution is better than the Chumby, I’m left asking why I need one when the iPhone, Nexus One, etc exist. Anyone? Where would you put it? Home office? Or is it a fancy $200 alarm clock you play...

Very cool. I think Twitter should make pages dedicated to this. It would make the information easier to find for the people who need it and it would give Twitter some good will among users.
Did Google trick us into using Google Wave?
I wonder if Buzz uses Wave as the backend? Anyone?
