Diggnation, one of the most popular videocasts on the net right now, is something I used to watch. I can’t pin point the exact date and time I grew discontent with it, but I think it happened shortly after the show stopped being shot in Kevin and Alex’s apartments.
When Kevin Rose gave up his ThinkPad for a MacBook Pro, and then a MacBook after that, he just turned in to one of these Apple nuts that I personally can’t stand listening to for more than 30 seconds. Alex Albrecht has always brought the greatly needed balance to the show. He was my favorite of the two since he would often state that he can’t form an opinion about something he knows nothing about.
I respect him for that. Kevin let the success of Digg transform him. I congratulate him for his good fortunes, well done, but he has lost that essence of cool that drew me to him in the first place.

Comments for Kevin:
- These concept images came out in October 2006, before the iPhone unveiling. Source: Engadget
- Convergence is something that is bound to happen. It is already happening in Europe and Asia. America is always slow when it comes to telecommunications innovations.
- There are already GPS enabled phones on the market.
- The iPhone isn’t for sale.
- Nokia never said anything this device, only released some concept images of what the future may look like. You should check out Nokia’s youtube channel if you want to be impressed.
