Google has found a way to get Google Voice back on our iPhones using HTML5.
Comcast wants to be one of the first ones to offer 3DTV channels with 3D specific programming.
Leica announced the M9, which is claimed to be the world’s smallest full frame digital camera.

If Leica’s digital technology and electronics are as exquisite as their optical technology and excellence in print cameras … WOW! Just wow.
I never met my dad, but I was told he was a master photographer, especially with the 35 mm format and available light. It was said he SWORE by his Leica M3.

I love the new opening graphics, yes I’ve noticed this before now but am just now commenting on it.
Safer on Facebook, I eventually stop caring what junk I end up with as long as its not a credit card from that kind of information being swiped.

I am also happy to see google not giving up on the iphone, and I can’t wait ’til google voice works locally in Spain (Skype, too, for that matter.)
The logo for targeted ads sounds like a waste of effort, for me at least. The thing that annoys me about ads isn’t so much that I am completely uninterested in what’s being advertised, but that they distract me from what I’m doing. Uninteresting subjects in ads actually distract me less, and I find them less annoying, and knowing whether or not the advertiser thinks they’ve targeted me, makes no difference.

I made it to the google voice page on my iPhone but not able to use as not been invited. I am really looking forward to using GV. Any advice?
The Leica looks awesome, for someone with the $$$ to afford it. Try calling @suzeorman to be on the “Can I Afford it” segment. WOuld be interesting.

So when is Google Voice going to be available for all iPhone users. I just searched the App Store in iTunes and there is no Google Voice there yet. Any ETA?
