“The Bubble”

December 19th, 2007 Comments

The Bubble video, watched over a million times since it was uploaded to YouTube and other video sites in early December, is back. It was down briefly when photographer Lane Hartwell complained via her attorney that one of her photographs was used without her permission. The offending (or non-offending, depending on which lawyer you ask and who’s paying them) image was removed and the new video, called v. 1.1, is now back at YouTube. The creators blog about the new version here, and give credit to all source material here. Everyone can now have fun again, and Hartwell and her attorney can sleep well at night knowing that her copyrights are unviolated and her photos unmolested (and unviewed).

By the way, if you want to download the MP3, you can, here.

Zumobi: Not everyone hates it

December 19th, 2007 Comments

ZDNet’s Matthew Miller writes a positive review of Zumobi. I did a mini-review of it last week and found it to be an underwhelming app when it came to performance.

Zumobi brings a fresh experience to Windows Mobile by ZDNet’s Matthew Miller — A few months ago I saw a quick demo of ZenZui on a Windows Mobile device. The name of the company and client has been changed to Zumobi and the beta is now rolled out for initial public trials. Zumobi lets you access and share web-based content using a new zooming tile interface. Mary Jo Foley mentioned the beta availability a couple of days ago and I was given access to the beta program that same day. I loaded it up on an HTC Touch Dual device and recorded the short video clip below of Zumobi in action.
