One of the main features of the iPhone is its built in browser that is ready to surf real websites, not cut down versions designed for mobile phones. From the Apple marketing material:

Starting Early
I heard something downstairs tonight and figured that Reagan couldn’t sleep because she was thinking of the upcoming school year. I look to my left and I see that Reagan is still fast asleep. “Oh well, it was probably nothing”, I convince myself. Minutes later I hear the distinct sound of a […]
lighttpd or Apache + lighttpd?
I was reading a little bit about Apache optimization tonight and an article suggested offloading all image requests to a lighttpd server via mod_proxy. On the surface it made a lot of sense because a sysadmin can throw mod_proxy and lighttpd up without needing to notify web developers or change site content. However, […]
Spend my money

Fun with jumping pixels
I can’t tell you how excited I am about Google Video. Media search and playback without giving a rip about the codec. As a Linux user I’m very grateful.
My favorite finds:
Insane soccer dribble. Lets get this guy on TV to replace some no-talent reality show.
Backstreet Boys mockery. Yao Ming should be […]
Linucon - Linux = con
I had this big commentary about this years Linucon event which completed yesterday in Austin. Slade beat me to it. He sums up my feeling quite well.
Since I’m not a scifi guy my only interest was in the Linux sessions. I shouldn’t complain much. Rather, I should just say that this conference is […]
Monopod
A few weeks ago I decided to figure out what this whole podcasting thing is. I’ve heard the term used a lot and I incorrectly assumed that it was just an iPod thing.
Follow the link about if you want all the details. Basically a podcast is a way to automatically download audio broadcasts that […]
