Your Comments Are Safe With Us
Posted on February 6, 2010 | No Comments
About half an hour ago, a post that was published on the Digital Inspiration blog hit Techmeme. The title of that post left little to the imagination: it read “TechCrunch Removes Reader Comments From All Older Blog Posts”.
That allegation in itself is inaccurate, as is most of the rest of the article, so I felt compelled to respond quickly and offer our side of the story. Which, on a sidenote, we weren’t asked for by the person or people behind the blog (at least not to my knowledge).

Augmented reality browser Layar now available for the iPhone
Posted on October 14, 2009 | No Comments
Half an hour ago, I just had an iPhone 3GS. Now, I have an iPhone 3GS with Layar installed.
It was one of the main questions I had for the Dutch company, which markets an augmented reality browser, when they launched at the Mobile 2.0 Europe event in Barcelona last year. When would they be complementing their Android program with an application for the iPhone?
They said it'd come in the fall of this year, and while there have been a number of AR applications made available on the App Store in the meantime, Layar's finally arrived a couple of hours ago and it's worth a second look. (iTunes link)

Layar opens up to developers, debuts API for mobile augmented reality platform
Posted on July 8, 2009 | No Comments
SPRXmobile, the startup behind Layar, the mobile augmented reality browser for Android, is moving fast. Barely three weeks after launching its application too much fanfare (see my video interview with the company's co-founder Raimo van der Klein for more context), it is opening up its platform by handing out keys for its just launched API to a select number of developers. Interested parties will need to fill out a request form, which should be available in about half an hour following this link, and the company will subsequently handpick 50 developers and provide them with the necessary documentation, tools and a test environment for third-party layers.
Layar is far from the only player in the mobile AR browser market, which is shaping up to be an interesting field as devices and the operating systems they run see technological advances at an ever-increasing speed.

Wahl Reboots Male Grooming with Li-Ion Trimmer
Posted on June 15, 2009 | No CommentsThe batteries in electric shavers suck. Charge-times are better measured as large fractions of days than as hours, you can’t use them while they are charging and, even when full, they don’t last long. Wahl’s new trimmer tries to fix this, and Wahl is so proud of the battery technology that it has put it in [...]
