What it’s like working for Apple
John Martellaro has an interesting piece up over at The Mac Observer where he lists 10 not so great things about working at Apple. Martellaro himself spent 5 years working at Cupertino from 2000 to 2005. One of the more interesting items on the list has to do with Apple’s apparent lack of desire to […]
Continue reading...Microsoft’s latest commercial misses the point
Sunday, March 29, 2009
Microsoft’s latest commercial has been getting a lot of buzz over the past few days, but lost in the discussion is whether or not the ad is even effective in the first place. I, for one, thought the ad was pretty entertaining, but feel that it ultimately failed to adequately address the actual reasons people […]

Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Neil Young, founder of iPhone development house Ngmoco, heaped some heavy praise on the iPhone yesterday during a keynote address at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Our love affair with the iPhone began by simply touching it. This was rapidly becoming the most important device I had ever owned. It was an all-encompassing, […]

Monday, March 23, 2009
The iTunes App Store has been the source of a number of success stories, whether it be a farting app raking it in by the thousands, or a lone developer making over $250K in just a few weeks. But one of the more impressive, though less heralded, app store success stories has been that of […]

Friday, March 20, 2009
A great and must-read article over at Counternotions explores how Apple’s latest iPhone 3.0 announcements will further cement its lead over its competitors. The new iPhone OS finally brings some long sought after features to the iPhone – Cut and Paste, MMS, and Push Notifications all come to mind. And while those are welcome improvements, […]

Friday, March 13, 2009
A friend of mine recently installed OS X on a XP loaded netbook, and his initial reports are enthusiastically positive. The machine is fast, video chat on iChat works like a charm, screen sharing is no big deal, and as far as he can tell, he’s basically running a Macintosh machine. And all for under […]

Friday, March 6, 2009
Palm investor Roger McNamee recently stated that when the phone contracts of the initial iPhone owners expire this summer, they’ll all be jumping ship for the Palm Pre – which should be shipping by then. “”You know the beautiful thing: June 29, 2009, is the two- year anniversary of the first shipment of the iPhone.

Thursday, March 5, 2009
I came across an article today titled “5 Great Microsoft Web Services You Probably Don’t Use” and was struck by the sheer number of different names Microsoft has for all its different services. More problematic, I think, is that the name of each service doesn’t usually hint at what the service actually provides. Even a […]

Friday, February 27, 2009
Sony, Philips, and Panasonic announced on Thursday that companies wishing to manufacture Blu-ray devices will now only need to attain a single license in order to do so. That’s a pretty big deal considering that 18 separate companies currently hold Blu-ray patents. This new licensing arrangement will undoubtedly speed up the licensing process, and more […]

Thursday, February 19, 2009
It was reported earlier this week that Palm joined Adobe’s Open Screen Projectand that the Palm Pre, not surprisingly, will start supporting flash sometime in 2009. Of course, it’s impossible to bring up flash support for mobile phones without noticing Apple’s apparent reluctance to incorporate the technology into the iPhone. Adobe’s CEO gets everyone’s hopes […]
