Opera Unite is a unique technology that turns any computer or device running Opera into a Web server. In other words, your computer (running Opera Unite) is truly part of the fabric of the Web, rather than just interacting with it, and it’s something anyo
Hot, Hot, Hot! A Twitter Augmented Reality App for iPhone
this is one important area of development where Google's Android OS has the edge. Already, we've seen new AU Android apps like Layar come about - an app which could very well represent the future of augmented reality.
Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On
With more users and sensors feeding more applications and platforms, developers are able to tackle serious real-world problems. As a result, the Web opportunity is no longer growing arithmetically

"the network as platform" means far more than just offering old applications via the network ("software as a service"); it means building applications that literally get better the more people use them, harnessing network effects not only to acquire users, but also to learn from them and build on their contributions.

Google Mobile Application for the iPhone. The application detects the movement of the phone to your ear, and automatically goes into speech recognition mode. It uses its microphone to listen to your voice, and decodes what you are saying by referencing not only its speech recognition database and algorithms, but also the correlation to the most frequent search terms in its search database. The phone uses GPS or cell-tower triangulation to detect its location, and uses that information as well. A search for "pizza" returns the result you most likely want: the name, location, and contact information for the three nearest pizza restaurants.

Google Wave and news « BuzzMachine
Imagine a team of reporters - together with witnesses on the scene - able to contribute photos and news to the same Wave (formerly known as a story or a page). One can write up what is known
Google Wave Drips With Ambition. A New Communication Platform For A New Web.
It’s also important to note that Wave is very much centered around the key fundamentals Google is focusing on with HTML 5: The canvas element, the video element, geolocation, App Cache and Database and Web Workers. You can read more about those on O’Reilly Radar or in our live coverage from yesterday, but one of the keys for Wave will be the Web Workers. This capability allows you to run background processes outside of the browser so it doesn’t slow to a crawl which running very rich apps — which Wave is.
The unfundable world-changing startup
So, what is it? It's a database that acts like a wiki. Sounds lame, right? But that's why it's unfundable. You need to spend some time with it to get why this is a world changing technology. The inventor, Terry Jones, has been working on it for 11 years.

Hi Robert.
Thanks again. I just want to drop a few links here that feel relevant and which give a little more information. The first is the relevant one:
http://www.fluidinfo.com/terry/2008/11/10/passi...
This talks about the connection between the creation of value and how obvious that will be to people early on (I argue it must be non-obvious, and hence that rejection is in that sense a good sign).
On the theme of startup rejection:

On the history of what I've been doing:
http://www.fluidinfo.com/terry/2008/11/09/brief...
And some posts that give more of the flavor of the kind of change I'm trying to effect:
