Blend your own Whiskey

Written by

Based in bonny Scotland, with a team of whisky enthusiasts, we wanted to create something to allow people a simple way for them to own a unique bottle of blended Scotch whisky (or blended malt Scotch whisky) One which they’ve not only had a say into how it tastes and what it’s called but also to have a little bit of fun in the process.

You blend your own Whiskey and they ship it to you. You gotta love the Scots.

Can the iPad do to gaming what the iPhone did to the point-and-shoot camera

Written by

Wade Meredith:

Like smart phones and point and shoots, iPads can com­pete or best the con­soles on hard­ware specs while absolutely whip­ping them on plat­form flex­i­bil­ity and porta­bil­ity. I don’t know the con­sole equiv­a­lent of on-device photo edit­ing  — but between app, acces­sory and periph­eral sup­port for iPad, the con­soles have their work cut out for them (Kinect was a good start, Playstation Move was not).

I don’t know if it will ever happen, but this was a good read.

iPad is about the experience

Written by

It seems that every time a new tablet comes on the market, people compare the hardware to Apple’s market leading iPad and wonder if this is the one that will dethrone it. The problem with this thinking is that the iPad isn’t just about the hardware and specs, it’s the experience.

This is my first bi-weekly column for Techpinions. I’m joining Ben Bajarin, Tim Bajarin and Steve Wildstrom on the site where I’ll write opinion articles on the world of Apple.

Name dropping

Om Malik:

When did we stop talking about ideas, technology and instead started focusing on you know… names and investing.

It’s been my experience that those that can name drop don’t.

Self expression

Written by

Matt Alexander:

Producing a weblog – whether you choose to contribute substantive content of your own or not – is not a matter of competition, but of self-expression.

I agree with Matt. I encourage all new writers to have a voice of their own, not just follow the crowd. I follow people, not companies.

Now, Anobit is focused on the development of storage-efficiency chips for Apple’s products.

A crock of shit

Written by

Fred Wilson:

Yahoo! thinks they can bully Internet newcomers with their bogus patents. And that’s a line they should not have crossed. Because other companies have bogus patents too. And they’ve opened themselves up to be sued back. Frankly I’d like to see it happen just to show them how stupid they are.

Telling it like it is.
