Verizon FIOS - Don’t Believe the Hype ()

The End of my Failed Experiment

I had been watching all of the commercials for Verizon’s FIOS service and reading a million articles on the internet that made it seem awesome. When FIOS became available in my neighborhood, I jumped right on the bandwagon. I was going to be burning through the web, watching a million hi-def tv channels, and generally just riding the wave of the future. Well, things aren’t always what they seem.

I have had cable forever Cablevision or Comcast depending on where I lived. When we moved into our new house, we got the Optimum Online "Triple Play" for the house. I didn’t have a Hi-Def TV

Here is my cautionary tale about Verizon’s Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time service.

Mozilla is Reinventing the Web - Again ()

Get the Information that you Need When and Where You Need It

I read a great video on Mashable on a new project from Mozilla Labs that will pull the web together in new ways that will make life on the web more convenient than ever. The project is called Ubiquity and it looks like a huge leap forward in creating on-the-fly mashups while you’re browsing the web. This Firefox extension will allow you to pull together data from different source on the web and combine into new uses in another place.

There are a lot of other services that do this already (Yahoo Pipes, Popfly, Dapper, and Google Code to name a few. ) None of them do it in such an immediate, practical way like Ubiquity will.
