Apple Event – Get Ready for It!
Posted in Media, on January 27th, 2010 by Carlos.
Well unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that 1PM EST (10am PST) marks the start of the Keynote that Apple has dubbed the unveiling of its latest creation. So how will you tune in? Sure Apple typically posts video of their keynotes a few hours after their events, but why not catch some of the action live? Although live video is not available, several gadget blog sites have people at the event taking pictures and posting comments live from the event.
Here are a couple of links to my favourites from Gizmodo and Engadget. I usually have both open and switch back and forth in case one picks up on something the other misses.
Enjoy!
Times Skimmer by the New York Times
The New York Times has launched the Times Skimmer – a new way to browse through their latest headlines. I always found the nytimes.com site to be on the cluttered side which is why I would often opt for reading their articles using the iPhone app (which in itself has had its history of issues). The Times Skimmer looks great though and employees some nifty stuff complements of HTML5. At present, clicking on an article will overlay a window taking you to the corresponding page on nytimes.com, so you will still eventually get to the standard nytimes.com interface. Still though, its a vast improvement for checking out the latest headlines in a very modern and elegant fashion. [via Daring Fireball]
