Titular Thursday

As you can see, I've added "digg this" links to every post; this means that you can digg my articles. It's a nifty template modification, and it means that if you're writing genuinely good material, someone might submit it to digg and it could mean some extra traffic. You can achieve the same effect on your own blog by visiting the following link: http://www.jaygeiger.com/2006/07/ad-links-to-blogger-blogs.html
About the video; that's Sony's upcoming handheld media
player , the Mylo. As you can see from the demonstration, it features an Opera web browser, Google Talk and other chat functionality, as well as media playback. I haven't seen Sony make a real foray into the market before this (aside from the lackluster extra tidbits on the PSP) and it will be interesting to see whether it's successful or not.
Article of the day:

When the video surfaced of the failure of the Windows Vista speech recognition feature, it was a real embarrassment for Microsoft. This is attempted proof that the recognition is actually accurate.
Gadget of the day:
