Google Wave: Next Gen Email/IM/Real-Time Collaboration App and Protocol - Founding Team Interview
Will this kill Friendfeed, email, IM and maybe even Facebook ???
In Google Wave you create a wave and add people to it. Everyone on your wave can use richly formatted text, photos, gadgets, and even feeds from other sources on the web. They can insert a reply or edit the wave directly. It's concurrent rich-text editing, where you see on your screen nearly instantly what your fellow collaborators are typing in your wave. That means Google Wave is just as well suited for quick messages as for persistent content -- it allows for both collaboration and communication. You can also use "playback" to rewind the wave to see how it evolved.
Google Wave can also be considered a platform with a rich set of open APIs that allow developers to embed waves in other web services, and to build new extensions that work inside waves.

The World of Online Poker: Serious Game and Serious Business
Online poker is not only a serious game in many ways, but a serious business as well. Millions of players around the world take part in online poker games, with the business quickly springing up in the late 1990s and rapidly growing into a multi-billion dollar business for the companies involved.
As the Internet became widely available, applications and games sprang up that let poker fans get their poker fix online, playing free money games on a variety of websites. What took online poker from more of a casual game to a serious game, though, was the introduction of real money into the equation, which began in the late 1990s when sites like Planet Poker, Paradise Poker, and PartyPoker started offering players the chance to play online poker for real money. A poker site for US players was very easy to find, as the US market was the largest at the time, with sites springing up weekly trying to get a piece of the action.
While some players today would classify themselves as recreational players, solely looking to play poker for entertainment, the majority of online poker players are driven by a more serious desire: winning money. With that in mind, online poker has quickly been transformed, with professional players using a variety of tools to help them beat the game and extract money from less skilled players.
Today’s serious online poker player has a wide range of tools at his or her disposal, including training sites, database software that collects all of their hands and lets them analyze their own betting tendencies and flaws, and software applications that pull from mined data to graphically display how opponents have played in the past. Any entertainment they might have once gotten from the game is an afterthought, as their job instead has become finding a way to extract the most money out of the game as possible, using any and every tool at their disposal.

Can Big-Screen E-Readers Save the Newspapers ?
Now the recession-ravaged newspaper and magazine industries are hoping for their own knight in shining digital armor, in the form of portable reading devices with big screens.
Unlike tiny mobile phones and devices like the Kindle that are made to display text from books, these new gadgets, with screens roughly the size of a standard sheet of paper, could present much of the editorial and advertising content of traditional periodicals in generally the same format as they appear in print. And they might be a way to get readers to pay for those periodicals — something they have been reluctant to do on the Web.
