By Victor Karamalis
Photos by Thomas Hawk New York may have the local high society hob nobbing in Central Park’s grounds at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on weekends but San Francisco has even higher aspirations at the de Young Museums’ Hamon Tower Observation floor with breathtaking views of Golden Gate Park and the Pacific Ocean. This late Wednesday evening would be the site of a landmark...
Top iPhone Applications for Mobile Professionals
by Brian Solis, originally published over at PR2.0 The iPhone is gaining traction as not only the must have gadget of the year, but also as an effective tool for mobile professionals. Rather than continue gushing about a device that I am forced to love, I will continue to post new stories when I find new ways to justify its value beyond a killer iPod with phone and Web functionality. Since Apple...
Reboot9 Part III

So, what are we serving you today? A peek at the hundred dollar laptop, the Blubber Bots, the Wii-enabled crèche, and more insight on what makes the...
Mixer 2.0
By Alex Ho Hitachi Data Systems and Arcscale decided to host their Lunch 2.0 event in the evening instead of the normal lunch time event. Unlike the normal Lunch 2.0 events usually hosted at the actual office, this one was held at Blue Chalk Cafe in Palo Alto and was another great evening of socializing along with free food and alcohol. The only thing missing was actually a presentation or speech...

Dontcha Wish Your iPhone was Hot Like…It Should...
by Brian Solis I bumped into Randy Jayne at the TechCrunch9 Party and we talked a bit about her videos. She told me about her latest creation which poked fun at the iPhone. I guess I had missed while on vacation, so I was anxious to see it. Let’s forget that Randi Jayne is the sister of Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. Let’s instead pay attention to her talent, wit and very clever sense of humor....

Office 2.0 Conference To Prove iPhone is Business...
When Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone at Macworld earlier this year he immediately justified its position as a smarter, revolutionary phone for those who wanted the next generation multimedia and communications experience without worry of whether or not it was a legitimate business tool.

I didn’t. He’s not that tall. I was fooled by Wale’s god-like...

NewTeeVee Pier Screenings: Content Vs. Advertising
By T.J. DeGroat The third Pier Screenings event wasn’t held at a pier — something most of those in the crowd of about 200 must have been thankful for, as San Francisco was covered in a thick fog. Attendees were plenty warm in the Metreon’s Action Theater, where two networking areas featuring a coffee bar, a popcorn station, a candy selection and plenty of beer were crowded with online video...

Each presenting founder shared one of their “hacks” or trick of the startup trade that they shared with other fellow founders and entrepreneurs.
