The Week in Tech - 07/05/05
--Sun announced its first-ever laptop last week, along with several other initiatives not-so-subtly aimed at boosting revenue. At the risk of echoing recent magazine covers, what will it take to save Sun? How did they get in this mess in the first place? All the major tech players took financial hits when the bottom fell out, but one could argue that none did so much as Sun. Why?
--It was only a matter of time... A new UK publishing house called The Friday Project emerged last week, with the sole purpose of turning Internet content into "the world's finest books." On the one hand, this makes complete sense; the amount of talented creative writing in the blogosphere is enormous. But for every Daily Kos, there are 1,000 treatises on Why I Love My Cat and What I Ate for Breakfast. Will this democratize the publishing world or poison it?
--New Scientist has a fascinating piece on the future of technological innovation. One prominent physicist argues that we're about to enter the "dark ages" of innovation, with all major branches of the technological tree having been discovered. As you can imagine, this theory meets with some dissent. Where do you sit in this debate? Have we run out of ideas? Or are we venturing into entirely different territory, starting a new tree from the ground up?
