Survey: Apple products totally popular with the rich kids
Posted on October 7, 2009 | No CommentsGrowing up, was there anything worse than being called a rich kid? Granted, it was probably just a case of petty jealousy—I wish I had a power wheel!—but man oh man did the rich kid win no friends. Fast-forward a few years, and the rich kid isn't just flaunting his new lunchbox and Spider-Man sneakers, no sir: he's driving a brand new car and checking his Facebook on his shiny, new iPhone 3G S. Or, a long way of say the obvious: Apple products are popular with kids from wealthy parents.

iPhone App Review: Navigon Mobile Navigator for iPhone
Posted on August 17, 2009 | No Comments
It is time to ask the age-old question: Are our cellphones ready to replace standalone GPS units. Sure we've all done a little work with cellphone mapping services and we've all mucked about with Google Maps while driving (which is very dangerous). But are cellphones and iPhones in particular ready to knock the old GPS box off of the dashboard?
To paraphrase Molly Bloom in Ulysees, "yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me and I think you can replace your GPS device with an iPhone and software like Navigon's Mobile Navigator for iPhone are making it much simpler yes I will Yes."

A rebuttal, in which Chrome OS is praised, and no disparaging remarks are made
Posted on July 9, 2009 | No Comments
John pooh poohs Google Chrome OS, just like he pooh poohed the Palm Pre. John's a smart guy, and has some good insights into the technology world. But on the issue of Google Chrome OS, I think he's wrong. Google isn't in the operating system market, it's in the software services market. The easier Google can make it to get to their hosted applications, the more customers they'll have. To paraphrase Larry Ellison's famous quote, "the web is the operating system".

24 songs: Woman ordered to pay $1.92 million to RIAA
Posted on June 19, 2009 | No CommentsStan Lee couldn't have created a more hated super-villain than the Recording Industry Association of America. It's the ultimate heel stable. Get this: a woman in Minneapolis, Jammie Thomas-Rasset, has been ordered to pay $1.92 million in damages for downloading and sharing 24 songs. That works out to about $80,000 per song. Clearly the RIAA deserves props. Mad props.

Video: Sony’s Svelte Vaio P Runs OS X
Posted on June 15, 2009 | No CommentsInstalling OS X on a commodity PC box is, to paraphrase a simian, sweating Microsoft executive, all about “drivers, drivers, drivers!” The underlying architecture of any current Intel chip is more or less the same as that of a Mac. The trick lies in getting the OS to talk to the non-standard displays, sound hardware, [...] -
Palm Pre: An also-ran
Posted on May 28, 2009 | No Comments
An "also-ran" is, literally, "a horse that does not win, place, or show in a race." The world loves an underdog but it never loves an also-ran. It forgets about an also-ran.
And so we reach nearly the end of Palm Pre madness and I'm afraid to report that after all the magic, all the tears, all the joy the Palm Pre will be just another phone. It won't save Palm, it won't change paradigms, and it won't send the iPhone hegemony crashing to its knees. The Palm Pre will launch with a whisper, not a bang.
To paraphrase
