I got up bright and early yesterday morning to wait in line for the David Pogue panel at Macworld, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this wouldn't be like the other forums I've seen before — this was the David Pogue Show! Set up like a late night talk show set, David welcomed a few tech-savvy guests you may (or may not) recognize, one of them being Matt Harding.
Matt is the dancing man you (and 17 million others) have seen on YouTube, going from country to country, dancing the same little jig at each location.
Peek, the Email-Only Device Goes On Sale Monday
Remember the email-only device, Peek, that I got a peek of early (I know, I know, but I couldn't resist)? It looks like it'll be available for sale on Monday at Target, and it's already available for preorder on its website.
I guess we weren't the only ones who were into this simple little device — not only does NYT tech columnist (and my idol) David Pogue love it, the turquoise and cherry colors are already on back order.

According to CNN Money, the OLPC already has around 7,000 machines in demonstration projects in about fifteen countries including Cambodia, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, and Rwanda. We've heard alot about this project in the past few months, but now we actually get to see it in action thanks to New York Times technology columnist David Pogue.

How Does Apple Keep Its Secrets?
The fact that every tech blog and media outlet was obsessed with the iPhone this week is a testament not only to the the phone's design, functions or timing, but to Apple's ability to keep a really juicy secret. Manufacturers release sleek and innovative phones and gadgets every season, some of which are wildly popular, but never talked about in the press the way the iPhone is and will continue to be. When it comes to big announcements, Apple is in its own league.
