Back in 1984, Apple launched an ad campaign during the Superbowl casting IBM (and by association Microsoft) as George Orwell‘s Big Brother. This year’s Superbowl saw a much more understated take on the mono-culture of 1984.
And this time, the evil empire is b...
My case is easiest explained in metaphor…
Think of HULU as a bakery. In this bakery, there are some items placed on the counter with a sign in front of them declaiming those particular pasteries as FREE.
Today, there will be 3 customers.
The first customer is a personal computer (running Win...
I’ve been home for a week now. I’m recovered from the jet lag and I’ve begun to catch up on work. It’s taken that time for me to gain a bit of perspective on everything that happened at I/O this year.
I received 2 Android phones. The first was a Motorola Droid (about a month before the conferenc...

From Google vs. Apple = open vs. closed – Video – Technology:
This is a very interesting video. And, I can see both sides of the argument. Though honestly, these days, I seem to be falling more on the Google side of the fence.
From Why Apple and Google Need Each Other %u2013 GigaOM:
Right now, iPhone owners are experiencing the mobile web through the 150,000 or so apps it offers through the App Store. But Apple has also backed HTML5, which allows a smartphone browser to have rich app-like features without requiring...
An interesting video time capsule of sorts from Apple Computers (back when Steve jobs was off innovating at NeXT).
Enjoy the video!
Hey! Steve! I am still waiting for you to apologize to teachers all across the United States for your off-the-cuff comments. Believe me, as my powerbook starts to show its age and I shop around, your uninformed comments really do make me consider buying a linux pre-loaded laptop instead of a MacBo...
MacNN | Jobs to get “Rotten Apple’ award without apology
Okay Mr. Jobs… the ball is in your court. Years ago, Apple decided the Education Market was its core business. In these days of iPods and iPhones, you may be forgetting that a huge percentage of your computer business is STILL teachers, form...
Okay, I’m not a teacher anymore. But, it wasn’t that long ago that I stood in front of a classroom and worked my butt off trying to inspire a love of learning. When I saw the title Apple CEO lambasts teacher unions out there on the web, I got worried.
I come from a long line of Union Reps and or...
Since my machine can run any UNIX application I would ever need, why would I ever think about putting GNU/Linux on my Mac? Well, my little 12″ Powerbook is a very solid little machine and if she is still chugging along in the day when she is just too slow to effectively run current software in OSX,...
About a month and a half ago, a friend of mine messaged me and was all kinds of happy because coconutBattery reported that his Powerbook battery was reporting that it was better than it was the day it was new. I thought this was funny at the time. And, of course it got me thinking about my Powerbo...
