Remember how the "groundbreaking" game Myst for PC was clickfest 1993? It's now going to be tapfest 2009 for your iPhone.

From the video, it's pretty much the same game. You go around a pre-rendered world solving puzzles in order to something something something—I never actually finished it. It does look like a pretty decent iPhone game, despite it being older than half the kids in high school right now.

How heavy do you think Myst is going to come in at? 100MB? 200MB?

Tim O'Reilly, co-founder of the Web 2.0 Conference, gave a short address on the 5th anniversary of that event at tonight's Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco and offered some thoughts on what's going to come next. He discussed five applications that he believes point the way.

Two themes stood out: sensors will surpass humans in front of their keyboards as the primary data source on the web and Moore's Law will need to be applied to humanity's greatest problems.

It's time for the Web to get smarter, O'Reilly said. Having just become a grandfather, he drew a parallel between the evolution of the web and human development. The early days of search engines were like a child just putting things in its mouth, wondering what they are. Now the web is starting to use all of its senses together to do do something with the information it has access too. Here's where he's seeing that happen.

“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.”

The story of a bug.

OLO – it’s the name of what looks like a notebook or netbook computer, but in place of the trackpad, you slot in your iPhone – and use its screen as a trackpad instead! Genius of an idea – or as dumb as the Palm Foleo that never was?

Created by a German software developer, Armin Heinrich, it was written pretty much as a joke. “I found that some users complain about prices for iPhone applications above 99 cents,” Mr. Heinrich said. “I regard it as art. I did not expect many people to buy it and did not expect all the fuss about it.”

Interesting review of the iPhone announcements.

In this demo, Jeff Han shows off (for the first time publicly) a high-resolution multi-touch computer screen that may herald the end of the point-and-click mouse.
