A lot fewer people activated their iPhones than expected. Apple stock drops about 5% on the news. That guy who started Netscape just sold his new company to HP for $1.6 billion in cash. He gets $138 million of it. The company he just sold (Opsware, originally LoudCloud) makes software for servers. They're coming out with a cheaper high-def TiVo. Everyone's abuzz about those YouTube/CNN debates last night. Is the power still out at Craigslist/Six......

Since we have to lead with anything Journey here at SFist, check out the YouTube clip of the ad for Atari's "Journey Escape" we found on Kotaku. Avoiding (pixelated representations of) crazed fans and manipulative music industry types never looked so fun! Buy it now! If espionage is more your game, then the cloak-and-dagger shenanigans at HP should be up your alley. Even reporters were entangled in the web of lives spun to discredit......

This week in the Google and Apple News Korner SFist Tech Roundup: the same old familiar faces are giving money to each other and making life easier for you, the users of the internets. Google bought stock in AOL, after the latter turned down possible deals with Microsoft, and earlier Yahoo and Comcast. Google also made additions to its services by adding GMail access from mobile phones, and music search and purchasing options to......

Hey, everyone loves a good tool (unless you're from New England, in which case no one loves tools), and if you want to be a blogger, one of the best tools is Movable Type. Folks build blogs with it, folks use it as a simple content management system -- heck, folks even use it as a software design platform. Well, Movable Type is four years old now, and at version 3.2 is looking better......

Well, Apple is rumored to be anouncing the iPod phone by Motorola at the Moscone Center on the 7th. 100 songs, service through Cingular are the rumored deets. In the meantime, the music business, not happy with the $350 million they've pocketed from the iTunes store since 2003, want a tiered pricing scheme, with new releases bumped to $1.49 -- which would be a great way to send people back to filesharing for the......

Okay, it's time for us to come clean. This whole blogging thing? It's been fun, but it's all just been an excuse to get in KRON-4's pants. And it worked! This past Saturday, KRON invited a couple hundred of us bloggers to a meetup in its secret headquarters, located at the bottom of two firepoles concealed in the library of stately Wayne Manor. It seems that the station's got a new media consultant who's......

There's no love for free blogging software as Mr. Sarah Low Daly responds to our previous suggestions about the Chronicle-created controversy over his Board of Supes blog, where, as you may recall, in light of the "controversy" about his posting on the sfgov.org site, we suggested that he just publish his blog through blogger.com or Six Apart's Movable Type. Chris responds (to us! by name! fun!) in today's entry: "sorry on the blogger.com no go, but I believe that this content should be available on the City's website," and notes that the Chron article, in its zeal to mock, ignored the press conference he held about the Giants trying to get out of paying taxes on the ballpark. Daly is rumored to be contemplating a public boycott of the Chron based on the article now. (A boycott? But how will we read For Better Or For Worse?) We totally respect the blogger.com decision, Mr. Daly -- though we still think you're doing it because you don't want the commenters! We'd love to see your entries all laid out like a blog where you can scroll down and read 'em all at once! And while we've got you here -- pleeeze pleeeze pleeeze, some colorful anecdotes about life with Willie Brown, Gavin, and the other Supes? Gossip, we want gossip! ...

"There's room to grow," says Six Apart CEO Barak Berkowitz, gesturing happily to his company's brand spanking new office. Dot-com bust and recession be damned, Six Apart has had a smashing couple of years, and now they're moving their awesomequarters from San Mateo to a giant neato brick building South of Market. A few months back, we were lucky enough to attend Six Aparty, a giddy Movable Type mixer, and it warmed what cockles were......

SFist would like to present photographic proof that life exists outside of New York City. That's right, as lamented by Gothamist and cheered by SFist, Anil Dash, Internet Superstar, has officially landed here in San Francisco. We had the pleasure of attending Six Apart's Moveable Type Sneak Peek yesterday evening at the Varnish Gallery in SOMA. It was like stepping back into 1999, when the booze was free, the schwag was top-notch and geeks ruled the universe....
