Marginal Revolution: What is valid in Marxism? (Five things)

The author is hardly a raging Marxist. He was rising to meet DeLong's challenge. I've thought for a while, however, that the pendulum was swinging from the triumph of capitalism in the 1990s. (Ok, this is not an original observation. Tony Blair's "third way" etc.) I wonder if that will start to reach the US.

Flickr: Organize your photos.

I read it's a Flash application. Seems to work as well on Safari/Mac as on Firefox/XP. The controls don't have the elegance of native aqua controls -- but that's a tiny nit.

Wow.

Flickr has won my heart. Now Google will buy them ...

Roaming charges: Hardware hunger hits Wi-Fi

The AX, along with D-Link's PocketRouter and Netgear's two specialized APs, are in many ways templates for the kind of products I expect to see more of from mainstream computer companies. All four enhance a user's ability to use the computer that he or she already has by adding both functions and value. And you can do things with the new AX that you couldn't do before, at a price point that is less than the previous cost of separate hardware solutions. And the AX's internal antenna has nearly the same range as the rabbit ears do.

With all four of the solutions profiled here, the key is how the hardware, by integrating with the user's software, has become part of the overall solution. AX needs iTunes as much as iTunes needs AX; and together the two deliver a more complete solution to the user. In the end, the user gets better and more for less. Not a bad deal, when you think about it.

Lots of fun for geeks!
