Oh, the publicity. Thanks to the little nod over at Wired News, we’ve experienced a ten-fold lift in traffic over the past couple of days. Fortunately, the quirky old Cobalt Qube that serves up this site isn’t even breathing hard after all of the fuss. Besides Wired News, who I blame for all of this, … More

Leander Kahney is a purveyor of tales and ephemera culled from Mac and Newton communities alike. True to his style, he has just published a Wired News article featuring none other than the Newtons Around The World gallery. Fittingly entitled The Picture of Devotion, it is certainly a fine hat tip to this site and … More

I’m completely boggled when supposedly smart people continue in their attempt to reinvent the wheel. Especially when it’s a wobbly wheel in the first place. Yet another pen-based text input system has been developed, this time by the folks over at Carnegie Mellon University’s Human Computer Interaction Institute (a fancy name for a place that … More

It’s non-stop service improvement weekend here at the Newted Community. The maximum individual message size for email accounts has been bumped up from 2MB to 10MB. This change was implemented due to specific user complaints about the occasional message getting bounced because of the size of an attachment. Quite frankly, 2MB isn’t that big of … More

Taking advantage of a recent offer to register .info domains absolutely free of charge, I took it upon myself to grab the newted.info address. This means that you can now access this site via www.newted.info the same way as you can via the newted.net, newted.org and newted.com addresses. Likewise, if you feel that the .info … More

I’m pleased to announce that a long overdue – and quite frankly – massive update to the Newtons Around The World gallery has been posted. This is the first addition to the gallery since June and boy, it’s a doozie. Since the last update there have been 45 submissions from 13 photographers – many first … More

So you couldn’t make it to the inaugural Worldwide Newton Conference last week? Sadly, neither could I. No worries though… it’s possible to relive at least part of the experience through Adam Tow’s extensive gallery of images from the event. It’s the next best thing to having been there in person. And speaking of being … More
