Second Life is a shopper’s paradise. From designer shoes to medieval weaponry, from yachts and mansions to starships and subterranean lairs, the options are limitless. If you can imagine it, chances are someone is selling it.

Second Life has its own economy, with its very own virtual currency: Linden dollars. L$ are easy to purchase, and you can use them to buy whatever your heart desires. Often, the best things in Second Life are free.

I am still waiting for the chip in the brain solution but Dave Chalk tells me that is yesterday’s thinking, Sony has a patent to beam direct video without hardware to receive the signal, but instead utilizing the brains own synapses.

I believe in the iPhone! Not because it was made by Apple but because it was made simple. What I like is stuff like…it is all screen and it is all touch screen; No silly ball to use and clean; No tiny keyboard; Great APPS…these are cool and there are new ones daily; Tethering to your laptop and using the internet anywhere, it justs makes sense, Easy synchronization with exchange server (Apple could give Micrsoft a lesson or two)

iPhone is kinda cool and for that reason some people shy away, but they are missing the point, it is because it is simple, easy, cool and the future that we need to accept that the iPhone is the standard in human interface devices, No other device comes close and especially not the Blackberry.

Don’t get me wrong, the Blackberry has it’s cool factor and it does do Phone and Email, but why do you need cable or and expensive Blackberry Enterprise Server to synchronize Contacts and Calendars.

Web surfing is far superior on an iPhone, but watch, Blackberry will make a bigger screen one day…
