» So the Google Super-phone, the Nexus One, has finally been unveiled to the world after a gestation that had many guessing and teetering at the edge of their seats for months. Watching to the streaming video press conference, I could not help but feel that for the most part it was evolution, not revolution, at least when it came to the product. The real revolution was in the way the archaic telecommunications sector in the United States is poised to be shaken up.

» Is Thailand next? Google said it will stop censoring for the Chinese government Real Soon Now, and last week told the Australian Censor Board to pound sand when the Ozzies asked Google to please censor YouTube videos from their "refused classification" bin; pretty much under the radar, Google has been happy to censor on behalf of the Thai government as well, since a previous administration cut off access to YouTube over a royal insult.

» In the most exciting technology news since the introduction of the T-Rex sensing alarm, Apple announced it will allow certain people to purchase an iPad on April 3 and thereafter for between $499 and $829, or roughly 17,000 to 28,000 baht in real money; unfortunately, you are not nearly privileged enough, by about 10,000 miles, or 16,000 kilometres in real distance; you meet the high standards of Apple's class consciousness if you live in North America (not counting Mexico), Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, or the British Isles. Sony and Sony Ericsson pretended they did not leak or authorise news that they will release a new portable tablet device and a smart phone able to play PlayStation games, not that they are at all worried about the near monopoly of the markets by Apple; Sony has officially announced it is opening a download service that will so totally crush iTunes; it is called Qriocity, pronounced "curiosity" isn't that precious?
