Digital Grilled Cheese D9 Poll Results Are In: “The Kara” Edges Out “The Walt”

Personally, I preferred “The Walt” over “The Kara.” But the attendees of the ninth D: All Things Digital conference seemed to like the grilled cheese sandwich made of “sharp” cheddar over more “experienced” gruyere, courtesy of a new start-up demo called Melt.

Kara, Walt and Katie Visit iPhone 4-Palooza at WWDC–With Special Guest Stars Schiller, Pincus and More!

Earlier today, BoomTown hoofed it to downtown San Francisco to join a pair of All Things Digital A-Team members–Walt Mossberg and Katie Boehret–at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, where CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the newest version of the iconic mobile device, iPhone 4. As usual, I had to snark it up with a video of the proceedings at the Moscone Center West, where over 5,000 of the Apple faithful gathered to kibitz and ogle. Cue the excessive oohing and aahing.

Weekend Update 05.22.10–Two, Two, Two Phones in One Edition

This week the valley was abuzz (and certainly not atwitter) with preparations for the Google I/O event that would showcase what the search giant had been up to inside the skunk works. Would it be TV? Video? A tablet? Free phones? Read on for all the news from a big week in the Valley, where it was about way more than Google.

Weekend Update 05.15.10–The Privacy-Schmivacy Edition

It has been a rough week for more than a few tech companies, and all the hubbub seems to be centered around private data in public places. Facebook has taken more than a few on the chin this week, and it wasn’t the only company that committed privacy missteps. Weekend Update is seriously considering sealing all our personal data in a lead-lined jar and burying it in the yard behind AllThingsD HQ. Maybe Kara and the crew can talk a little sense into us.

Weekend Update 04.24.10–The Maltese Falcon Edition

The major story that unfolded in Silicon Valley this third week in April was fit for the silver screen. The divine screenwriter collected a cast featuring Baron VonJobs, Denton and his Gizmodo goons, and one well meaning–if tragically unlucky–software developer. Laws may have been violated, bribes were paid, and all over the seemingly golden prize that, let’s face it, we all would have seen in eight weeks anyway.

Weekend Update 04.17.10–-The Power-Play Edition

AllThingsD was re-enacting its own Stanley Cup playoff situation this week as team captain Kara kept us going strong even while she had a man in the box. John Paczkowski was still out when East Coast defender Peter Kafka got the whistle from his wife that it was time to bring another little media man into the world. That left Kara alone on the ice here, but she shifted into a whole new gear and AllThingsD didn’t miss a beat.

Weekend Update 04.10.10–The Afterglow Edition

The tech media were catching up on sleep this week after all that iPad build up. It was years of speculation, of rumor mills and photoshopped images. This week, finally, at long last, we all got our hands on one of these little guys and now we can stop talking about it. Right.
