The 12 Cellphones That Changed Our World Forever | Wired

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the cell phone, Wired goes through 12 groundbreaking mobile devices. One thing that strikes me when seeing this and other posts covering the cell phone time line, is that it’s not just Apple that has gone stale in terms of hardware form factor innovation.

After the introduction of the iPhone, the industry, and we users, just settled for the big touchscreen slab. Now, there’s just different screen sizes and more or less bezel. And until Google Now, Siri and other alternative data input methods get reliable enough, I think we’re stuck. But if the emerging wearable tech trend takes off, it will speed up the improvement of the quality and reliability of voice input rapidly. Which in turn will spur form factor innovation even further. Looking forward to it.

The Verge Playlist: Canada

As the lone Verge staffer based in the Great White North, I have to put up with a lot. There are endless jokes about the weather, hockey, and maple syrup. But more than anything, I hear jokes about music: Bieber and Bublé and that band that sings “How You Remind Me.” No one seems to remember the good stuff. It’s like disparaging American music because of the existence of Hanson.

North Korea cuts mobile Internet access for foreign visitors

North Korea cuts mobile Internet access for foreign visitors:

infoneer-pulse:

Less than a month after allowing foreign visitors to access 3G wireless networks, North Korea has reportedly severed tourists’ connection to the mobile Internet.

The reclusive country announced last month that it would soon relax restrictions on visitors’ access to the Internet via mobile devices within its borders, rules that long required visitors to leave their handsets at the border or airport when entering to the country.

Bluetooth-enabled garments help owners find them

It’s no secret that technology can help locate what’s lost, whether it be pets, objects or children. Whereas many of the innovations we’ve seen in this area have been RFID-enabled, however, New York designer Asher Levine has turned instead to Bluetooth-enabled microchips as a means of keeping track of the items in his fashion line.

Senate embraces Internet taxes

Senate embraces Internet taxes:

infoneer-pulse:

The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly today to endorse levying Internet sales taxes on American shoppers, despite warnings from a handful of senators that the proposal is antibusiness, harmful to taxpayers, and will be a “bureaucratic nightmare.”

By a vote of 75 to 24, senators adopted an amendment to a Democratic budget resolution that, by allowing states to “collect taxes on remote sales,” is intended to eventually usher in the first national Internet sales tax.

The vote follows a week of fierce lobbying from the National Retail Federation and the Retail Industry Leaders Association, which represent companies including Walmart, Target, AutoZone, Best Buy, Home Depot, OfficeMax, Macy’s, and the Container Store. They argue that online retailers, which in some cases do not collect sales taxes at checkout, enjoy an unfair competitive advantage over big box stores that do.

If personal computing has a single birthday, it very well might be December 19, 1968. That day, Douglas Engelbart took the stage at Brooks Hall in San Francisco to demonstrate the system he and colleagues at the Augmentation Research Center had spent nearly ten years building. They called it NLS, for oNLine System, and over the next 90 minutes Engelbart would reveal just how far they’d progressed.

It was fifty years ago today that the Beatles’ released their first album, Please Please Me. In honor of that world-changing LP, we’ve compiled a list of the 100 Greatest Debuts of All Time.

A note on how we made the list: Albums got docked points if the artist went on to far greater achievements; conversely, we gave a little extra recognition to great debut albums that the artist never matched. We also skipped solo debuts by artists who were already in well-known bands. We focused, instead, on debuts that gave you the thrill of an act arriving fully-formed, ready to reinvent the world in its own image.
