Incredible, amazing, awesome Apple (funny video)
Does iTunes have lossless content, or is it all lossy?
eta: by iTunes I mean the shop, not the program.
Wow. I want to sign up with Zipcar just so that I can play with the Zipcar iPhone App.
I can't wait to download it. The coolest feature is being able to lock and unlock your car with your phone. It's like living in the future!

I think the horn honking is more useful since your Zipcard already does the un/locking. Although I suppose it's nice to be able to carry around one less card.
For me, it's always going to be faster to pull out my phone than find my Zipcard in the black hole that is my wallet.
Yeah, I only have a few cards I carry around all the time. That would be super handy.

World's first 3D point-and-shoot camera comes to America
Good on Fujifilm for making good on its promise to launch the Finepix Real 3D W1 point-and-shoot camera in the U.S. this September, albeit barely. The camera, capable of shooting both still pics and video in 3D, is available for purchase starting today for the tidy sum of $600.
So how do you view the 3D pictures? No need for any glasses — the special rear LCD shows the photos in 3D, and you can buy the separate V1 picture viewer with an 8-inch screen for $500. You'll also be able to order prints through Fujifilm for $6.99 each.
I got to play with the Real 3D for a few minutes during a meeting with Nvidia earlier this month (the graphics-processor maker says Fuji's system is compatible with its 3D Vision tech, meaning the pics are viewable on regular screens with special glasses and software). The camera is simple to use, and depth really appears to pop out of images on the rear LCD. It looks a bit "shiny," rather like those hologram comic book covers that used to be everywhere, but it's unmistakably 3D.
